Our Comprehensive Rug Repair Services
Please note: all repair quotations require an in-person inspection.
Hand-Knotted Rug Repairs Hand-knotted rugs are exquisite pieces of artistry, but over time they can suffer from wear and tear. Our skilled team has the expertise to mend intricate knots and weave patterns, restoring your rug's beauty and preserving its value. We do our very best to match wool yarns to your rug wherever possible. Most repairs are completed within 2–3 weeks, though this can extend if we need to order yarn specially, or if a full restoration is required.
Side Cord Repair A damaged side cord can lead to unravelling and compromises the structural integrity of your rug. Our meticulous side cord repairs ensure your rug stays securely bound, preventing further damage and extending its life.
Fringe Repairs or Fringe Removal Fringes often suffer from fraying or damage caused by foot traffic, vacuuming or pets. We can restore fringes to their original state, or if you'd prefer a fringe-free finish, we can carefully remove them while preserving your rug's overall look.
Colour Correction or Airbrushing Damaged spots or discoloured areas can be expertly colour-corrected using our specialist techniques, reviving the vibrancy of your rug's original hues. Our precise airbrushing methods blend colours seamlessly for a beautifully uniform finish. Full rug dyeing may also be an option, available on request.
Rug Shearing If your rug has developed excessive pilling or fuzzing, our professional shearing process trims the surface to restore a smooth texture and appearance. Sprout trimming is also available.
Tufted Rug Re-Backing Tufted rugs will often outlive their original backing. In some cases, the rug can be professionally washed, the old backing removed, and a brand-new custom backing applied. This is an extensive project, and all rugs must be inspected in person beforehand.
Rug Cut Downs for Custom Sizing Need a custom-sized rug? Our expert team can carefully cut down your rug while preserving its design and structural integrity.
Rug Technical Services We also offer a range of technical services tailored to specific rug problems, whether at our facility or in your home. These commonly include removing creases and crush marks from new rugs so they lay flat, small repairs, removing candle wax or bleach spots, colour repairs, fixing custom cowhide or patchwork rugs, rug inspections, and rug spot cleaning.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to clean a rug?
It depends on the type and size of the rug. Send us a message with the rug dimensions and a short description or a picture and we’ll give you a quote straight away.
How long does it take to clean a rug?
We usually allow 10-14 days for the rugs to be returned.
How to clean a rug at home?
We do not recommend DIY rug cleaning. If the colours are unstable they will run – usually the reds and the blues migrate into the light surrounding fibres. Rugs made from natural fibres also need to be dried very quickly. We use a centrifuge to extract the water and have a climate controlled drying room to dry all rugs within an optimal timeframe which cannot be done at home.
My rug fringes and edges are frying . Can you repair them ?
Yes, We can certainly fix them.
