Plantation Shutter Repairs: A Smart Alternative to Replacement

Plantation shutters add timeless elegance to any home, but like any fixture, they may require maintenance over time. With over 150 retailers in Perth selling shutters, very few offer repair services—making Perth’s Boutique Plantation Shutters one of the only companies that help homeowners maintain their investment. Would you buy a car from a dealership that didn’t offer servicing or repairs?


Why Shutters Need Repairs

Even durable materials like PVC and timber can experience wear and tear. Common issues include:

  • Broken Louvers: Cracked or damaged slats from impact or aging.

  • Faulty Tilt Rods: Difficulty adjusting shutters due to detached or broken rods.

  • Damaged Louver Pins: Small but essential components that enable smooth rotation.

  • Loose or Broken Screws: Over time, hardware can loosen, affecting stability.

Repair vs. Replacement: Cost Considerations

Repairs are often a cost-effective alternative to full replacement.

  • Repairs: Average around $288, with minor fixes costing as little as $165.

  • Replacements: New installations range from $1,341 to $4,750, depending on material and window size.

Repairing shutters extends their lifespan and maintains your home’s aesthetic at a fraction of the cost.
