Our Rug Repair process varies based on the condition of the rug and may include cleaning, stabilization, re-weaving, binding, edging, patching, color restoration, and more.
Cleaning & Stabilization
Before repairing the rug, it's often necessary to clean it thoroughly. This ensures that the repair work is done on a clean surface and helps improve the overall appearance of the rug. If there are areas of the rug where the foundation (the warp and weft) is weak or damaged, the repair process may begin with stabilization. This involves reinforcing the foundation to provide a stable base for subsequent repairs.
Re-Weaving, Binding & Edging
For rugs with holes, tears, or missing sections, skilled artisans may reweave the damaged areas. This intricate process involves matching the colors and patterns of the original rug and weaving new threads into the existing structure. Frayed or damaged edges of a rug can be repaired through binding or edging. This involves securing the edges to prevent further unraveling and restoring a neat and finished look to the rug.
Patching & Color Restoration
In cases where the damage is extensive, patching may be necessary. This involves adding new sections of matching rug material to replace irreparable damaged areas. If the rug has experienced color fading or discoloration, color restoration may be part of the repair process. This can involve dyeing or color touch-ups to bring back the vibrancy of the original colors.
After the necessary repairs are made, the rug is carefully finished to ensure that it looks cohesive and matches the original design. This may involve trimming excess fibers, adjusting pile height, and overall grooming.
