Elche's shutters: straps, cords and timber boxes
In the blocks of Carrús, El Pla, Sector V and El Toscar the shutters are PVC with an internal timber box and a 22 mm strap. After forty years of sun the strap frays and snaps, nearly always with the shutter down. We open the box, replace the strap, check the winder spring and have it working in 40 minutes for 35-60 €. If you want to try it yourself, how to replace a roller shutter strap explains it step by step.
In the galerías (utility balconies) and kitchens of older flats in the Centro and El Raval there are cord-operated shutters with a wall-mounted winder. We replace the cord and winder for 40-70 €. And when the shutter crashes down the moment you let go of the strap, the culprit is the winder spring, not the strap; we replace it and the scare is over.
The third call is the dropped shutter in rental flats in Altabix and Los Palmerales: a slat out of the guide, the shutter going up crooked and jamming. We take off the cover, reposition the slats on the axle, replace the snapped hanger straps and leave it running straight for 50-120 €. Our guide to a roller shutter dropped off its track explains how to recognise it.
Aluminium shutters on the beach and motors in the partidas
In Arenales del Sol and La Marina the shutters are aluminium and the salt air forms a crust in the guides that locks the slats. We clean the guides, replace end caps and brush seals and apply dry lubricant; if the axle bearings are rusted, we replace the axle and pulleys for 80-150 €. For apartments that open up in June, we do it in May with the owner's key.
In the villas of El Altet, Torrellano and Perleta the shutters are wide and heavy and many already have a motor. We repair motors that do not respond (limit switch, wall switch, capacitor) and motorise manual shutters for 180-320 € with the motor included when there is a power point near the box. If a cable has to be run from the consumer unit, a registered electrician does it.
How we fix your shutter in Elche
- A WhatsApp photo of the shutter from the inside and of the winder or the box, with your neighbourhood or partida. From that we know whether it is the strap, cord, axle or slats and we give you a fixed price.
- We arrive in 25-45 minutes, Monday to Sunday, 8:00 to 21:00, with straps, cords, winders, hanger straps and PVC and aluminium slats in the usual sizes. Almost every shutter is fixed on the same visit.
- You pay on completion by cash, card, Bizum or bank transfer, with an invoice including IVA (VAT) and a written 6-month guarantee. No call-out fee if you accept the quote; otherwise 25 € in Elche town and 35 € in Arenales, Torrellano and the partidas.

When it is better to replace the whole shutter
In 1972 flats in Carrús we find PVC shutters with yellowed slats that snap when touched and half the hanger straps broken. Repairing one slat today and another next month costs more than fitting a new aluminium or PVC shutter on the same box. We give you both prices on the first visit and you decide.
We do not repair roller grilles on business premises or metal shop shutters. More worked quotes with each item broken down are on the roller shutter repair prices page.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a roller shutter strap replacement cost in Elche?
Between 35 and 60 € with the strap included, in around 40 minutes. If the winder has failed as well, replacing it with the strap costs 40-70 €. On shutters with a built-in box that is hard to get at, the price sits at the upper end. We tell you from a photo of the winder before we come.
Will you come the same day if the shutter is stuck down?
Yes. In Elche town we arrive in 25-45 minutes, 8:00 to 21:00, Monday to Sunday, and in Arenales del Sol, Torrellano and the partidas in about the same time. We carry straps, winders, hanger straps and slats in the van, so the shutter is fixed on the first visit in almost every case.
Why does the shutter crash down when I let go of the strap?
Because the winder spring has lost its tension and no longer holds the strap. It is not the strap or the axle. We replace the winder with a new sprung one, which costs 40-70 € with the strap, and the shutter stays where you leave it again.
Do you repair aluminium shutters in Arenales del Sol?
Yes. We clean the salt out of the guides, replace end caps and brush seals and refit any slats that have come out, for 50-120 €. If the axle bearings are rusted, we replace the axle for 80-150 €. For apartments shut up over winter, we do it in May with the owner's key.
Is the repair guaranteed?
Yes, 6 months in writing on the invoice, on labour. If the strap comes out of the winder or the shutter drops again within that time, we come back at no cost. New parts (winder, axle, motor) also carry the manufacturer's warranty.
