Is your garage door creaking, stuck halfway, or just plain outdated? If you’re a homeowner in 2025 facing garage door issues, the big question is this: Should you repair your garage door—or replace it entirely?
Let’s break down the cost, value, and practicality of both garage door repairs and new installations so you can make the smartest decision for your home.
When Is Garage Door Repair the Better Choice?
A garage door repair is often the more economical route—especially when the issues are limited to a few components like:
Broken springs or cables
Malfunctioning opener
Bent tracks or misaligned rollers
Noisy operation
Sensor or remote issues
If your door is structurally sound and less than 10–15 years old, a same day garage door repair can fix the problem quickly, saving you both time and money.
At Fix My Garage Doors, we specialise in fast, reliable fixes across Scotland, Fife, Edinburgh, Dundee, Falkirk, Perth, and surrounding areas. Our expert technicians assess damage on-site and repair most issues within hours—getting your home secure again without the cost of a new door.
How Much Does Garage Door Repair Cost in 2025?
Spring Replacement : £90 – £180
Cable Replacement : £70 – £130
Opener Repair: £100 – £250
Sensor Fix : £50 – £100
General Tune-Up: £60 – £120
When Is New Garage Door Installation the Better Option?
Sometimes, repairs are simply not enough. Consider garage door replacement if:
The door is more than 20 years old
You’ve had multiple repairs in the last 12 months
Panels are warped, cracked, or rusted
You’re upgrading your home’s energy efficiency
You want a modern look or smart automation
A new installation can boost home value, improve insulation, and enhance curb appeal—especially if you plan to sell your property soon.
