Roman blind chain or cord broken? Mechanism jammed? Repair instead of replacing the whole blind - fraction of the cost, works perfectly again.
### That Satisfying Pull That Suddenly... Snapped
One minute you're lowering your roman blind like you have done 500 times before. Next minute: **snap**. Chain broken, cord gone, blind stuck half-mast.
Now you're looking at roman blinds online thinking "£150 for a new one, really?" When actually all you need is a new £3 chain and someone who knows how to fit it.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Roman blinds are expensive to buy new but cheap to repair. Unless the fabric is damaged or you want to redecorate anyway, repair always makes sense.

### Chain vs Cord Issues
**Chain repairs** (the visible pull chain): - Usually snaps at the connector or wears through - Quick replacement - clips or ties into mechanism - Sometimes just needs reconnecting
**Cord repairs** (internal cords in the blind): - Run through loops on back of fabric - When they snap, blind won't raise evenly - Longer job - have to rethread new cord through every loop - Worth it though - still cheaper than new blind

### Pricing
| Repair Type | Time | You'll Pay | |-------------|------|------------| | Chain replacement | 20-30 mins | **£60** | | Internal cord repair | 45-60 mins | **£60-85** |

### Worth Repairing If...

Test everything works smoothly. ### Step 3: Rehang & Test Get the blind back up, test it raises and lowers properly, make any adjustments needed for smooth operation.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Multiple blinds in the house?** If one chain's snapped, others are probably the same age and might go soon. While I'm there, I can check them all and replace any that look worn. Cheaper to do them together. **Custom-made blinds:** These are expensive to replace and absolutely worth repairing. Even a complex cord repair costs a fraction of a new made-to-measure blind. **Old blinds:** If your blind is 15+ years old and you're planning to redecorate anyway, might be time for new ones. But if it's just the mechanism and you like the fabric, repair makes total sense.
Frequently Asked Questions about Roman blind chain repair in Teignmouth
What usually breaks on roman blinds?
The pull chain/cord snaps, or the mechanism inside that winds it up gets jammed or broken. Sometimes the cords that run through the back of the fabric snap. All fixable without replacing the whole blind.
Can you fix it or does the whole blind need replacing?
Usually fixable. Chain replacements are straightforward. Cord replacements take longer but still cheaper than new blinds. Only recommend replacement if the fabric's damaged or the headrail is broken beyond repair.
Will you have the right cord/chain?
I carry standard blind cord and chain in the van. Most roman blinds use the same stuff. If yours is an unusual system I'll get the right parts and come back - but that's rare.
How long will it take to fix?
Chain replacement: 20-30 minutes. Cord replacement: 45-60 minutes (have to rethread through all the fabric loops). I'll know which once I see it.
Can I just buy a new blind instead?
You can, but why spend £80-200 on a new blind when a £60 repair fixes it? Only makes sense to replace if you hate the fabric or want a different style. I'll give you an honest opinion on whether it's worth fixing.
