Blind repairs that get them working properly again. Broken cords replaced, damaged slats fixed, mechanisms sorted. Venetian, roller, vertical - we handle most types. Cheaper than replacing perfectly good blinds.
Blinds fail in annoying ways. Cords snap, slats break, mechanisms jam. Often the blind is otherwise fine, but that one broken part makes it useless. Replacement seems the only option - except repairs are usually straightforward and cost a fraction of new blinds.
We fix most common blind problems on the spot. Restring venetians, replace roller blind springs, fix vertical blind carriers, replace damaged slats. We carry basic parts and can source specific components for most major brands.

Serving Exeter and surrounding Devon. We'll assess your blinds and give honest advice on repair vs replacement.

What to Expect
Step 1: Problem diagnosis - We examine the blind to identify what's failed and why. Sometimes there are multiple issues - we explain what needs doing and prioritize based on your budget.
Step 2: Repair or parts ordering - Simple repairs we do immediately. If parts are needed, we can sometimes fetch them same day from local suppliers, or order and return to fit. Your choice.
Step 3: Test and adjust - We make sure the blind operates smoothly, adjust tension/alignment, and show you how to avoid the same problem. Some blind failures are caused by how they're used.
🔧 DIY Tips
Venetian blind cords snap because they're overtightened - ease up when closing. Slats break from forcing blinds when they're tangled - stop and untangle rather than yanking. Roller blinds last longer if you pull them straight down, not at an angle. Vertical blinds need carriers aligned - one wonky carrier can jam the whole thing. Clean blinds regularly - dirt in mechanisms causes failures.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
Take photos of the blind type, brand (if visible), and the problem before calling. Helps us bring the right parts. Some older or cheap blinds aren't worth repairing - parts cost more than new blinds. We'll be straight with you about whether repair makes financial sense.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of blinds can you repair?
Venetian, roller, vertical, Roman, and most other domestic blind types. Common repairs include broken cords, damaged slats, faulty mechanisms, and fixing mounting issues. If it's an unusual blind, send photos and we'll let you know.
Can you replace broken slats?
Yes, if we can source matching slats. Standard white/cream venetian slats are easy. Unusual colours or old blinds can be trickier - sometimes we can reorder, other times we'll be honest that replacement is more practical.
How much does blind repair cost?
From £60 for simple fixes like cord replacement or mechanism adjustment. More complex repairs (multiple slats, full restringing, mechanism replacement) take longer. We'll assess and quote before starting major work.
My blind won't stay up - can you fix it?
Usually yes. Most often it's the spring mechanism in roller blinds or the cord lock in venetians. Both are fixable. We carry common parts and can source others if needed.
