We got tired of watching good curtains and blinds get thrown away needlessly. So we did something about it.

We got tired of watching good curtains and blinds get thrown away needlessly.

Drapery Doctor exists because of a problem we kept seeing in the industry. Customers would go to curtain and blind companies with perfectly fixable problems — a snapped cord, a dropped hem, a lining that had seen better days — and be told the same thing: we don't do repairs, you'll need to buy new ones. Or worse, the conversation would simply end there.

"The reason isn't laziness — it's structural. Most large companies no longer have anyone skilled enough to carry out this kind of work."

The majority of large curtain and blind companies have moved their manufacturing overseas — to facilities in countries like Turkey, China, and Poland. As a result, they have no skilled craftspeople in the UK capable of detailed repair work. Re-lining a Roman blind, for example, requires the same level of skill as making one from scratch. In many ways it's more demanding, because you're working within the constraints of an existing piece rather than starting fresh. It takes a skilled, experienced craftsperson. And most commercial operations simply don't have one.

Drapery Doctor was built to fill that gap. We are a dedicated repair and restoration service for curtains and blinds — staffed by skilled, experienced people who genuinely know this craft. We don't sell new curtains or blinds. We don't have a collection to push you towards. Our only goal is to fix what you already have.

The principles behind everything we do.

01

Honest advice, always

We'll tell you honestly whether we can fix something — and what it will cost — before any work begins. If we think replacement makes more sense, we'll say so. No hard sell, ever.

02

Skilled hands, not shortcuts

We do the jobs that demand real skill — re-lining, mechanism repair, precise alterations. This isn't something you can fake. It takes experience, and we have it.

03

We come to you

Most repairs are carried out on-site at your home or premises. We gather everything we need beforehand so we can arrive prepared and complete the job in a single visit wherever possible.

04

Repair over replace

We believe in making things last. Every curtain or blind we restore is one that didn't need to be replaced. That's better for your wallet — and better for everyone.
