Can A Carpet Be Repaired?
The answer, most carpets can be repaired, some cannot. If your carpet has a felt backing for example, large repairs are not possible, as the carpet can’t be welded back together. On the other hand, tufted carpets, that’s the ones with either a hessian or white canvas type backing are all repairable. Woven carpet like Axminster and Wiltons are a joy to work with and repair very well.
What damage can be repaired?
Small burns the size of fingernails can be repaired without spare carpet. Any larger than that and we would need to source a doner piece of the same carpet. Iron burns are a good example of this.
Split seams can be either stitched or welded back together.
Worn Axminster seams can be fileted.
A door join can often be repaired without any spare carpet.
Where do we get the carpet? Did you have a runner or mat made from your off cuts, or do you have a roll in the loft? That would work. No spare carpet at all? Is there any permanent furniture in the room? We could switch the damaged area to under that. Material for small holes can be gleaned by re-stretching the carpet.
That means you don’t have to live with a hole or curry stain in your carpet any longer!
Send us some photos of the offending area along with one of the backing and we will let you know what can be done.
