Cost to repair plantation shutters

A few slats on our plantation shutters have snapped and one panel has dropped on its hinges. Is that repairable? What would it cost if we can repair them?

"Usually you will be given a couple of spares. However if not can usually pick them up for around £10 a piece. Depending on if other damage has been done around £50 - £80 plus parts to repair"

"Hi there,Yes, both issues are entirely repairable!Snapped slats (louvres) can be removed individually and replaced with color-matched spares without replacing the whole shutter panel. A dropped panel is also a common mechanical issue and usually just requires realigning or tightening the hinges to bring it back into balance.In the UK, a professional repair like this typically costs between £100 and £250 total, depending on the material of your shutters (MDF, faux wood, or premium hardwood). This average cost generally accounts for a standard call-out fee, the replacement components, and the labor for the hinge adjustments.Hope this helps!"
