anyone on here can get me replacment slats for blinds as just had the guy who fitted mine a while ago and he said i need a complete new door blind as the repair service will cost more than a complete blind at £160, which i thought bollocks i only need 15 slats
so i phoned them just now and was told i can have slats at wait for it
£29 each![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
how the fook can they be that much money for a slat that is 25mm wide x 2ft long
any ideas please

Alright Chris!
I have no idea if they will be able to help you or if the prices will be any better, but we have recently had custom blinds done by Busheyblinds and awnings - great service and really happy with the blinds. Elvis chewed a dog sized hole in the downstairs one so she could stick her head out all day lol, they replaced half a dozen of the slats in less than half hour at a good rate.
As i say, dunno if they can help, but they get my recommendation. just at bushey arches on the ring road.

try ebay, loads of companies on there that will make them to your measurements for a few quid each.

We always get our blinds from a company called Bruce Blinds. We had Hillarys come over and they are exactly the same blinds (from the same manufacturer). Might be worth giving them a try:

ordered em and fitted em ourselves... it was well easy.
Hillarys quoted me £100 for the blind I paid £29 plus postage for for my kitchen from the above.
