Burned Rug 
Repair 

Burn marks on a rug can happen unexpectedly — from fireplaces, candles, heaters, hot embers, or dropped irons. While burns can look severe, many burned rugs can be professionally repaired, especially when the damage is localized.

Our burned rug repair service focuses on restoring structure, minimizing visual impact, and preventing further damage. Each rug is carefully evaluated to determine whether repair is appropriate and what method will produce the most stable result.

Common Causes of Rug Burns

​

Burn damage often comes from:

  • Fireplace embers or sparks

  • Candles and incense

  • Space heaters or heating tools

  • Hot cookware or irons

Burns may affect surface fibers only or penetrate deeper into the foundation.

When Burned Rug Repair Is Possible

​

Burn repair is often successful when:

  • Damage is limited to a small area

  • The surrounding foundation remains intact

  • The rug is handmade or wool-based

Even when fibers are charred or missing, localized reweaving and reinforcement can often restore stability and appearance.

How Professional Burned Rug Repair Works​

Depending on the severity, repair may involve:

  • Removing damaged fibers

  • Rebuilding foundation threads

  • Hand reweaving burned sections

  • Blending pile height and density

  • Reinforcing surrounding areas

The goal is a repair that is structurally sound and visually unobtrusive.
