Stairlift Exchange – Upgrade, Replace or Renew Your Old Stairlift
If your stairlift is getting older, breaking down more often, or simply isn’t meeting your needs anymore, you might be wondering whether it’s time for a stairlift exchange. At UK Stairlifts, we offer a complete service that allows you to upgrade, replace, or renew your old stairlift with a modern, reliable, and more comfortable model.
Whether you’re upgrading due to age, better technology, or changing mobility needs — we’re here to make the whole process simple and affordable.
⭐ Why Consider a Stairlift Exchange?
There are a few common reasons people choose to replace or upgrade their stairlift:
1. Your Stairlift Is Getting Old
After years of use, older models can become slower, less smooth, or start showing signs of wear. A newer model can provide a safer, smoother ride.
Old Versus New Stairlifts:


2. Frequent Breakdowns
If you’re calling for repairs more than once or twice a year, it may be more cost-effective to renew your stairlift with a newer, more reliable model.
3. Your Mobility Needs Have Changed
Some customers need features like:
-
powered swivels
-
auto footrests
-
heavy-duty weight capacities
-
improved seating comfort
A stairlift upgrade is the simplest way to meet new mobility requirements.


4. Stairlift Exchange – Older Models Are Less Energy Efficient
Newer stairlifts use modern, brushless motors, improved battery systems, and updated safety features.
🔄 How Our Stairlift Exchange Service Works
We aim to make your stairlift replacement as smooth and stress-free as possible:
1. We Assess Your Current Stairlift
Simply call us or send pictures, and we’ll tell you whether your existing stairlift has any resale or part-reuse value.
2. We Offer to Buy Your Old Stairlift
We purchase various makes and models for reconditioning. However, if your stairlift is too old or unsuitable for refurbishment, we’ll offer a removal and disposal service. See one of our removal videos here on YouTube.

3. We Install Your New Stairlift
Choose from our range of new or reconditioned stairlifts, including:
-
Stannah 600 (straight stairs)
-
Stannah 260 (curved stairs)
-

💷 Cost of a Stairlift Exchange
The price depends on:
-
staircase type (straight or curved)
-
the make and model you choose
-
extra features (powered swivel, heavy-duty capacity, etc.)
But choosing a reconditioned stairlift often cuts the cost significantly, with prices starting from:
-
£1,250 for straight
-
£2,950 for curved
All reconditioned models come with a full 2-year no-exclusion warranty, covering parts, labour, call-outs, and batteries.
🔧 Don’t Forget Servicing & Repairs
If your stairlift only needs a little TLC rather than a full replacement, we also offer:
-
stairlift servicing
-
emergency repairs
-
battery replacement
-
safety checks
Our engineers can often extend the life of your stairlift — and if not, we’ll advise honestly whether a stairlift upgrade makes more sense.
