Our Process
How We Decide: Repair or Replace
1
Assess the Damage
We look at the extent and location of the damage before recommending any work.
2
Check the Surrounding Carpet
If the carpet around the damage is still in good condition, a localized fix is usually possible.
3
Recommend the Right Fix
A burn mark, a snag from a moving box, a claw tear, or a separated seam is usually repairable, so you are not paying for a replacement you do not need.
4
Written Quote Before Work Starts
Whether we recommend a repair or a replacement, the scope and price are set out in writing before anything is touched.
Repair Techniques We Use
Patching
Swaps out the damaged section using matching carpet, often taken from a closet or another low-visibility area, then blends the seam so it does not stand out.
Reweaving
Rebuilds small damaged areas fiber by fiber and works well for small burns or snags on a visible section.
Seam Repair
Re-glues or re-sews a seam that has separated, a common issue at doorways and high-traffic transitions.
Re-Stretching a Loose Spot
A localized ripple or loose patch near the repair area is often re-stretched at the same time, rather than left to reopen the seam again.
Common Repair Jobs
Burns and scorch marks
From dropped embers, appliances or cigarettes.
Pet damage
Claw tears, chew damage and pulled fibers, along with snags and pulls from moving furniture or boxes.
Seam separation
Seams that have come apart at doorways or transitions.
Bleach and chemical spots
Discoloured patches from cleaning products or spilled chemicals, patched with matching carpet where the fiber itself is damaged.
Is It Damage or Loose Carpet?
If your carpet has started to ripple or feels loose underfoot, that’s usually a stretching problem rather than damage to the carpet itself. Customers often call about damage when the real cause is a carpet that was never properly stretched during its original installation. A separate carpet restretching service addresses that specific issue.
When Replacement Makes More Sense Than Repair
Repair is worth doing when the damage is contained to a small area and the rest of the carpet is still holding up. It stops making sense once wear is spread across the whole room – matted traffic paths, thinning pile near doorways, or fading that would make any patch stand out no matter how good the match. In that case, patching one spot on carpet that is failing everywhere else just delays a replacement you will need soon anyway, and it draws attention to the exact area you patched.
It also helps to act on damage sooner rather than later. A small snag or tear left alone tends to spread as foot traffic catches the loose edge, and cut or torn fibers next to a burn can start to fray and let backing show through. Furniture indentations are a separate issue entirely – those are compression marks, not damage, and often bounce back on their own rather than needing any repair at all.
Carpet Repair FAQs
Can you match my existing carpet exactly?
We use carpet cut from a closet, remnant, or low-visibility area of the same room whenever possible, which gives the closest match. An exact dye-lot match from a different roll usually isn't possible after a carpet has faded from sunlight and wear.
Is a repair cheaper than replacing the whole room?
Almost always, when the damage is localized. A full-room replacement only makes sense when the carpet is worn out generally, not just damaged in one spot.
How long does a typical repair take?
Most patch or seam repairs are a same-visit job once we've assessed the damage and confirmed matching material is available.
My carpet has a bad smell from an old pet stain – is that repair or cleaning?
That's a cleaning and odor-treatment job rather than a physical repair – see our pet stain and odor removal page.
