Platinum Stairlift Repairs & Servicing — Independent Engineers
We're not Platinum Stairlifts. We're independent engineers who repair Platinum lifts quickly and fairly — no manufacturer markup, no hard sell.
We're Independent — Here's What That Means
Think of us like a trusted local mechanic — same quality of work, often quicker, and at a fairer price than going back to the original manufacturer.
GentleRise is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or authorised by Platinum Stairlifts or any other stairlift manufacturer.
Platinum Models We Service
We work on all Platinum stairlift models — current and discontinued.
Platinum Comfort
The straight-rail model widely installed in UK homes. We service all variants and rail configurations, including older and discontinued versions.
Platinum Excel
Platinum's curved stairlift, featuring more complex installation and drive mechanics. Our engineers carry common parts for the Excel's drive system.
Reconditioned Platinum units
We service and repair second-hand and refurbished Platinum lifts. Condition, source, or age makes no difference — we can help.
Older Platinum models
Earlier versions no longer in production are still supported. Many original parts remain available, and we carry common spares.
Common Platinum Stairlift Problems
These are the faults we see most often on Platinum lifts — and we carry the parts and knowledge to fix them on a first visit.
Battery and charging issues
Lift runs slowly, stops mid-stair, or won't charge. Often a straightforward battery replacement — we carry replacements for all Platinum models.
Error codes on handset
We diagnose and clear fault codes, identifying the underlying cause rather than simply resetting the display.
Motor and drive faults
Loss of power, jerky movement, or failure to complete a run. We carry common drive components for Platinum lifts.
Safety sensor activation
Obstruction or pressure sensors triggering unexpectedly. We reset and recalibrate all safety systems.
Seat swivel mechanism
Seat stiff, failing to lock, or not rotating to the correct position at top or bottom of the stair.
Remote and handset pairing
Remote stops communicating with the lift. We re-pair and test all controls before leaving.
Rail and track issues
Grinding, clicking, or juddering caused by debris, wear, or misalignment. We clean, adjust, and replace worn components.
Key switch and call/send station faults
Controls not responding. We test each station individually and replace faulty components.
