Can you replace just a few damaged shutter slats? Yes. Where the damage is limited to a few laths and the rest of the curtain is sound, matching slats are fitted in place of the damaged ones. If most of the curtain is bowed or torn, a new curtain usually works out cheaper over its life.
What are the signs you need shutter slat and curtain replacement?
- Dented or creased slats after an impact
- Slats sliding sideways out of line
- Gaps or daylight between laths
- Bottom rail bent or torn
What does the engineer do?
- Measure lath profile and gauge to match your existing curtain
- Replace individual slats where the rest are sound
- Make a full replacement curtain where damage is widespread
- Re-hang, re-align and test
Prices vary with shutter width, the make and model, whether parts are in stock and whether you need an out-of-hours visit. You receive the exact figure in writing once the fault has been diagnosed, and nothing is fitted until you agree it.
