Process
How We Replace a Spindle
- Step 1
Match the Profile
We copy the shape, size and timber of the existing spindles.
- Step 2
Remove the Damaged One
The broken spindle is removed without damaging the rail or tread.
- Step 3
Fit
The new spindle is glued and pinned, keeping spacing even.
- Step 4
Finish
It is painted or stained to match the rest.
Safe Gaps for Children
Even spacing matters for safety as well as looks. Common guidance is that a small sphere of about 10 cm should not pass between balusters, which stops young children slipping through.
Turned and decorative spindles can be copied on a lathe or sourced to match, so the repair does not stand out.
For wobbly banisters, see banister tightening. For child safety, see stair safety upgrades and baby proofing.

Broken Spindle and Baluster Repair: FAQs
Are Banisters Designed to Meet Safety Standards?
We build and repair banisters to current safety guidance, with suitable height, strength and gaps small enough that a small child cannot pass through, and advise if an existing banister falls short.
How Much Does Stair Railing Repair Cost in Dubai?
Stair and railing repairs start from AED 250 per visit for tightening, re-fixing and small part replacements. Handrails, treads and custom banisters are quoted by length or number of steps. Prices vary and can change depending on your exact requirements, the materials and access to the property, so the final price is confirmed after we see photos or visit.
When Should I Call a Carpenter for My Staircase?
Call when a handrail moves, a tread creaks or flexes, a spindle is loose or missing, or the finish has worn through. Loose railings are a fall risk and should be fixed promptly.
How Do I Choose the Right Banister?
Think about safety, style and upkeep. Timber feels warm and suits classic villas, glass keeps spaces open and modern, and stainless or powder-coated steel is strong and low maintenance. Gaps must be small enough for children.
