Common curtain repairs and services

As we mentioned earlier, curtain repair is a different skill set from curtain fitting.

Damage from exposure to sunlight, dust, and frequent handling can all lead to the need for curtain repair. Here are some of the common fixes:

• Hem repairs: If your curtains are too long or have frayed edges, they can be rehemmed for a neat finish

• Frayed or torn fabric: Patch repairs can be done to fix accidental snags, a burn hole, or damage from a pet

• Eyelet hole repairs: If the eyelets or hooks have torn away, a curtain repair expert can reinforce or replace them

• Lining repairs and replacement: Curtain lining helps with insulation and blocking out the light. Ripped, damaged, or weakened lining can be replaced by a curtain repair specialist

• Restoring tie-backs and curtain accessories: A worn-out or detached tie-back can be fixed to revamp your curtains

What to look for in a curtain repair specialist

It's crucial you feel confident in your choice of curtain repair specialist. Here are a few pointers to help make your selection.

• Experience and skills: Do they have experience working with different types of fabric, especially the type of fabric you need repairing?

• Quality of work: Check that high-quality threads and reinforcements are used to ensure repairs are durable

• Proven track record: Take the time to check customer reviews and look at before-and-after photos of previous work

Additional factors to consider

• Flexibility: Some curtain repair specialists offer mobile repairs, fixing minor issues on-site

• Timeframe: Ask how long the repairs will take and when you can expect to have your curtains returned

• Pricing: Where possible, get a selection of quotes to ensure you receive a fair price

Your questions about curtain repair answered

How much does curtain repair cost?

Curtain repairs are normally priced per job, depending on the type of repairs needed and the materials required.

More standardised repairs, such as relining, tends to cost in the region of £7.50 per square metre.

How long does curtain repair take?

Again, the time it takes to complete curtain repairs depends on the nature of the repair work.

A straightforward tear can often be fixed in a few hours. More complex repairs such as relining or custom work could take a few days or even a week.

Your curtain repair specialist will be able to advise a timeframe upon inspection of the fabric.

Can I repair my curtains myself?

Yes, if you have basic sewing skills, small tears or missing hooks can be a DIY-friendly task.

However, an expert in curtain repair is recommended for delicate fabrics, intricate designs, or if you're not confident with a needle and thread. Handing the work over to a specialist will ensure a durable and seamless finish.

On Checkatrade, you'll only find trades who meet our high standards and pass up to 12 checks.
