Professional Plantation Shutter Repairs in 48 Towns
We assess and repair plantation shutters fitted by us or another company. This includes broken louvres, loose tilt rods, worn hinges, dropped panels, damaged catches and existing parts that need replacing. The condition of the panels and frames determines whether a component repair is viable.
Repair the failed part where it is viable
A failed louvre, tilt rod, hinge, catch or panel does not automatically require a completely new shutter set. We inspect the fault and the surrounding frame, then confirm whether the component can be repaired, needs replacing or forms part of a wider restoration job.
What's wrong with yours?
These are the component and fitting faults we assess, how they appear and what the repair may involve. If you are not sure which fault you have, send a full photograph and a close-up.
Broken or missing louvres
What you'll see: a snapped, cracked or missing slat in an otherwise usable panel.
The fix: the damaged louvre assessed for replacement, with its size, material, finish and connector arrangement matched as closely as possible.
Snapped or detached tilt rod
What you'll see: the bar that tilts the louvres has come away or broken, so the slats no longer move together.
The fix: the tilt rod and its staples are reattached or replaced so the whole panel moves as one again.
Stiff or floppy louvres
What you'll see: louvres that won't hold the angle you set, or have gone stiff to move.
The fix: the tension and connected parts checked before adjustment or component replacement.
Seized or broken hinge
What you'll see: a panel hanging crooked, catching on the frame, or not closing at all.
The fix: the hinge is replaced and the neighbouring panels re-levelled so the whole set sits square.
Sagging or dropped panel
What you'll see: a panel that has dropped in the frame and no longer closes flush or latches.
The fix: re-hung and adjusted so it closes flush and latches cleanly again.
Loose magnets and catches
What you'll see: panels that swing open on their own or won't stay shut.
The fix: magnets, catches and fixings renewed so panels hold closed properly.
Tracked shutter system
What you'll see: panels that have shifted, catch as they move, or have come out of their track.
The fix: the track and panels realigned and secured so they move smoothly again.
Water-damaged shutters
What you'll see: slats near a bathroom or kitchen that have warped, swollen or discoloured.
The fix: water damage cannot be repaired, but affected louvres, panels or shutters can be replaced with suitable parts for the room.
Frame coming away from the wall
What you'll see: the whole frame working loose from the window reveal.
The fix: the opening and existing frame assessed to determine whether it can be safely re-fixed with suitable packers and fixings.

Repair questions
Yes. We assess shutters fitted by other companies when the existing panels and frames are viable and suitable matching parts can be identified. Send clear photographs of the complete shutter and the fault before booking.
Refinishing, repainting and structural work may need workshop conditions. We confirm whether the shutter must be removed and how the opening will be handled before the job is booked. Our shutter restoration service covers work involving the finish and several components together.
We compare the louvre size, material, profile, finish and connector arrangement. A replacement can be matched as closely as available parts and the age of the existing finish allow. Our shutter repair guide covers the information that helps identify a suitable part.
Yes. We assess tracked systems when panels catch, shift or leave the track. Send photographs of the full opening, the track and the affected panel so we can identify the fitting and component fault.
Yes, when a suitable replacement can be made or sourced for the existing shutter system. We check the frame, hinges, panel dimensions, louvre layout, material and finish before confirming the replacement.
It depends on the part, matching materials and access, so we give you a fixed price before any work starts and you approve it first. Our guide explains what affects repair cost.
Water-damaged shutter material cannot be repaired. We assess how much is affected, then confirm whether suitable parts or shutters can be replaced while sound surrounding components remain.
Do not assume every loose staple or connector uses the same part. The correct repair depends on the louvre, tilt rod, material, connector size and panel tension. Send clear photographs so we can identify the fault and assess whether the existing part can be reattached or needs replacing without forcing or damaging the shutter. Our shutter repair guide explains the other component faults we assess.
