Door / hinge repair: what it costs in Australia
Public cost guides put a straightforward door / hinge repair job at $100 to $250 in Australia. Charged by the hour, the same guides sit around $60 to $110 an hour.
The honest answer for your job is a real quote. Access, parts and urgency move every one of these numbers, which is why Mendy collects quotes instead of guessing.
| Straightforward job | $100 to $250 |
| Hourly rate, where charged | $60 to $110/hr |
What moves the price
- Access: anything hard to reach, hidden in a wall or under a house takes longer.
- Parts and materials: quality tiers and what actually needs replacing.
- Urgency: after-hours and same-day work commands more. If it can wait for a weekday morning, it usually costs less.
- How busy local tradies are: a quiet week quotes sharper than a flooded one.
