Blind Repairs & Replacement Slats in Selly Oak
Not every tired blind needs replacing. In Selly Oak we see a lot of verticals in rented houses where one or two louvres have been snapped, chewed or stained, and the rest of the blind is perfectly fine. Replacement slats, where the fabric is still available, can bring a blind back for much less than a new one. The same goes for broken chains, worn weights and damaged carriers.
Where blind repairs work in Selly Oak homes
We are happy to look at blinds we did not fit, though honesty matters here: some older mechanisms and discontinued fabrics are not worth repairing, and we will say so rather than charge for a repair that will not last. For landlords in Bournbrook between tenancies, a quick slat replacement can be a sensible fix. For a family home, it might be the moment to decide whether to repair or upgrade.
Repairs are assessed and priced individually at a home visit; no bundle applies. Book online in the usual way and mention what is broken in the notes, ideally with the number of slats affected and the width of the blind. If replacement turns out to be better value, the fitter can quote new blinds at the same appointment, including any of the fixed-price offers that suit your windows.
It helps to know what we can usually fix. Vertical louvres, carriers, weights and chains are the most common repairs. Roller springs, broken brackets and snapped cords on venetians are sometimes repairable, depending on the make. Fabric that has faded or torn across a roller usually means a replacement blind, because the fabric is the blind. If you send a photo when booking, or describe the make, the fitter can come prepared with the likely parts.

Questions we hear at the measure
Do you repair blinds another company fitted?
Yes, we will look at them. If the parts or fabric are no longer available, we will tell you honestly rather than attempt a repair that will not last.
Is it worth repairing an old vertical?
If the headrail is in good shape, replacing a few louvres or carriers is often good value. If the headrail itself is worn, new may be the better spend.
Can you match my existing louvres?
We match as closely as current stock allows. If an exact match is gone, a full new set can look better than a mix of old and new.
