Curtains with broken pull cord

Hi
We have a couple of sets of large, quite heavy curtains and the pull cords at the side have frayed and finally broken.
I asked the curtain company about getting the tracks re-strung but their only solution was for us to buy whole new tracks complete with pull-cord.
Has anyone managed to get curtain tracks re-strung? It just seems such a waste!

Thanks Gorobattie.They aren't quoting that much. About 150 dhs for each new track - it's just that it seems such a waste when there's nothing wrong with the rails and hooks. It's just the cord that's broken. I guess I could remove the cords and keep the old rails for some lighter curtains that don't need a pull cord but I've got enough junk in my garage already!

Sure they will advice you to buy the whole thing....it means more money for them! go to satwa, the shops that make curtains and buy what you want from them, you need to bargain hard with them - me and DH went there to buy curtains rode and it's brackets and the rings....the first time they wanted to charge 800 dhs, after 2 days went by my self and asked for the same thing and they charged me 350 dhs !!!!! after getting what you want bring a man with a van to place them for you.....and that's it!
