Indoor shutter repair – what’s fixable?

There are plenty of reasons shutters might need repair, from broken slats and faulty tilt rods to dodgy hinges and warped frames.

Luckily, not all shutter repairs call for a replacement. Here are some common issues an indoor shutter repairer can put right:

• Broken or snapped slats – Individual slats can usually be replaced

• Loose or faulty tilt rods – Can often be reconnected or swapped out

• Misaligned panels or hinges – Usually a straightforward realignment job

• Cracked or chipped paint – Can be sanded and repainted

• Shutters not closing properly – Can be as simple as fitting a new magnetic catch

When you might need a replacement:

Some types of damage are harder to fix. You might need a replacement because of:

• Warping – Caused by severe water damage

• Broken internal mechanisms – Vinyl and composite shutters with unreachable, sealed components are often the culprit

If you think a repair won’t cut it and you’re looking for replacement shutters, our wooden shutter installation cost guide can help you budget.

What to look for in an indoor shutter repairer

Indoor shutter repairs aren’t your everyday home fix, so it’s no surprise if you’re not sure what to look for when hiring a trade.

If you’re starting from scratch, here are a few things to look out:

1. Relevant experience

We might be stating the obvious here, but make sure your repairer has experience with the type of shutters you have – whether they’re wooden, vinyl, or composite. There's no point calling a wooden shutter expert if your shutters are made from PVC.

2. Guaranteed and insured

Indoor shutters are expensive bits of kit. To help protect against any accidental damage, all Checkatrade members have public liability as standard.

Better still, when you find and book a trade through Checkatrade, we'll guarantee their work for up to £1,000*'. *12 months guarantee – Eligibility and T&Cs apply). That’s extra protection to consider.

3. Clear, detailed quotes

Repair costs can soon add up – especially if you’re dealing with multiple damaged slats. Ask for a detailed quote upfront that covers labour time, potential replacement parts and call-out charges. It’ll help avoid any surprise costs later on.

4. Verified reviews

Want to know if a repairer’s up to the job? Check their customer reviews.

All Checkatrade reviews are verified, so you can be confident they're written by genuine homeowners – just like you.

FAQs about indoor shutter repairs

How much does indoor shutter repair cost in the UK?

The cost of repairing your indoor shutters depends on the level of damage and the type of shutters you have. For instance, there’s a big jump in cost from vinyl shutters to wooden ones. That’s why you’re best off speaking directly with a shutter repairing company or tradesperson to get an accurate quotation for the cost of your repairs.

Should I repair or replace damaged shutters?

If the damage is minor, like a broken slat or misaligned panel, a repair can be quick and fairly cheap. However, a replacement might be on the cards if your shutters are warped or have broken internal mechanisms that can’t be reached.

Can wooden shutters be repainted or refinished?

Absolutely – cracked or chipped paint on wooden shutters can come up right as new with some sanding and painting. But for a professional finish matching your existing shutters' colour, you’ll want to leave this to an experienced repairer.
