Carpet burn repair

The right repair for a carpet burn depends on the size and depth of the damage, the carpet's construction and the condition of the surrounding fibers. A patch repair replaces a damaged section with a carefully selected piece of matching folder. Re-tufting repairs a smaller damaged area by adding fibers into the carpet, where its construction makes this suitable. A hot coal burn on new fitted carpet can seem disasterous, fear not a specialist can repair without replacement. We assess the burn and the carpet before recommending an approach. Colour, pattern, pile and any fading can affect how discreet the finished repair looks. We’ll explain the options and what result is realistic before work begins.

Can a burn caused by an ember on a carpet be repaired?
Yes. Often, an on-site carpet repair specialist can fix a burn caused by an ember without the need to replace the entire carpet. The appropriate repair method will depend on the size and depth of the damage, the construction of the carpet, and whether a matching piece of carpet is available for the repair.

For a small, localized burn, a patch may be used: the damaged fibers are removed and replaced with an identical piece of carpet. If only the carpet pile is damaged—while the backing remains in good condition, it may be possible to perform a "re-tufting" (reinserting fibers). The specific repair method will be determined after an assessment of the carpet. Carpet Doctor offers on-site carpet repair services throughout the United Kingdom. Please contact us providing a photograph and your location so we can examine the ember damage and arrange an assessment.
