A roller shutter that no longer goes up, gets stuck, or makes strange noises always comes at an inconvenient time. Fortunately, a defective roller shutter does not always need to be replaced immediately. In many cases, a malfunction can be fixed by professional repair or by replacing a specific part.

At Port of Altea, we provide repairs for manual and electric roller shutters for homes, apartments, holiday homes, and commercial properties on the Costa Blanca.

When is a repair needed?

Many problems start gradually. For example, a roller shutter may become harder to operate, make more noise when opening and closing, or respond less smoothly than before. Eventually, this can lead to a complete malfunction.

Sand, dust, salt, and prolonged exposure to sun and heat can also affect the system's operation. This causes wear on parts that normally function trouble-free for years.

Common malfunctions

We are regularly called for roller shutters that run crooked, no longer fully open or close, get stuck in the guides, or no longer respond to controls. Damaged slats, worn hangers, and defective motors are also common.

Before we carry out a repair, we first determine the cause of the problem. In many cases, it turns out that only a limited part needs to be replaced.

Many malfunctions develop gradually due to sand, salt, and lack of maintenance. Read more in our article Why do roller shutters break more often in Spain?.

Repairing electric roller shutters

Malfunctions in electric roller shutters can have various causes. Sometimes the problem lies with the motor, but adjustments, control elements, or electrical connections can also play a role.

We carefully inspect the installation and honestly advise whether repair is still worthwhile or if replacing a part is the better choice.
