If you’re considering a stairlift for yourself or a loved one, one of the first questions you’ll ask is: how much does a stairlift cost in Ireland? The answer depends on the type of stairlift, the features you need and whether you buy new, reconditioned or rent.
This guide breaks down the average stairlift prices in Ireland in 2025, plus tips on getting the best value for your money.
Straight Stairlift: €2300-3000
Second Hand Straight Stairlift: €1400-2000
Curved Stairlift: €5500-€8000
Second Hand Curved Stairlift: €3800 -€5500
Note: These are guide prices. Final costs depend on your specific stairs, options like powered swivel seats or hinged rails and the supplier you choose.
Straight vs Curved Stairlifts: Why the Big Difference?
Straight stairlifts are the most affordable option because they are installed on a standard, pre-made rail. In contrast, curved stairlifts are significantly more expensive, as they require a custom-built rail designed to match the exact curves and turns of your staircase.
Other Cost Factors to Consider
A home survey is included free of charge with BM Stairlifts. Optional features such as powered swivel seats, remote controls, hinged rails, or upgraded upholstery can add between €200 and €1,000+ to the overall cost.
Ways to Save on Stairlifts in Ireland
Consider opting for reconditioned stairlifts, especially for straight stairs, as they offer the same safety at a lower cost. You may also qualify for grants such as the Housing Adaptation Grant for Older People or People with a Disability. Additionally, in some cases, you may be able to reclaim VAT on mobility aids installed in your home.
