So it’s time to get that squeaky, heavy, jammed-up roller door fixed after months of it being semi-unusable.
You walk into the sliding door shop. You explain the problem. You ask for the price.
And then you wake up in an ambulance with two paramedics about to zap you with a defibrillator, because the amount they’re asking almost gave you a heart attack.
Yep, it’s no secret that sliding door shops charge an arm and a leg for their repairs. That’s part of the reason We Fix Sliding Doors started out as a business – we were tired of seeing people get ripped off for sliding door replacements, when all they really needed was a few quick repairs.
So, how much should your sliding door repair cost? What factors affect the price?
We Fix Sliding Doors explain everything you need to know:
How stuffed is your door?
For lack of better phrase, how stuffed is your sliding door? This plays a big role in determining the cost of repair. For example, if we’re just talking about a weather-stripping that needs replacing, or maybe a roller that needs lubricating, this won’t cost you too much. Replacing the track, your rollers and the lock is a bigger job, so it’ll understandably cost more to carry out.
Who’s doing the repairs?
There are lots of imitators and rip-off merchants out there, so don’t be fooled by suspiciously low quotes. They’ll either quote you some ridiculously low amount before they arrive, and then explain why they have to charge double – or they’ll keep their promise on the quote but won’t fix your door properly. We Fix Sliding Doors are the real deal. We give transparent quotes and charge fair prices for excellent quality work. Enough said!
How well-maintained has it been?
Yep, the better you maintain your sliding door, the less likely it is to cost heaps. Tracks that have been vacuumed and cleaned frequently often result in fewer problems, and less serious ones, than dirty, unmaintained tracks. Dirty tracks can lead to complications like jammed rollers and track damage, so if you want to save a buck then consider boosting your sliding door cleaning routine.
