Hole & Tear Repair

Holes and tears in a rug do not mean the rug is ruined. In many cases, professional hole and tear repair can restore the rug’s structure and prevent further damage.

​

Our hole and tear fixing service focuses on rebuilding the rug’s foundation, reinforcing weak areas, and blending repairs so the rug remains stable and functional.

​

Each rug is evaluated individually to determine the appropriate repair method based on construction, materials, and condition.

When Hole & Tear Repair Is Recommended

Hole and tear repair is often needed when:

  • Small holes appear in high-traffic areas

  • Tears form from pets, furniture, or wear

  • The foundation threads are exposed

  • Thinning areas begin to break through

Early repair helps stop damage from spreading and preserves the surrounding fibers.

How Professional Hole & Tear Repair Works

Depending on the rug, repair may involve:

  • Rebuilding foundation threads

  • Hand reweaving damaged sections

  • Matching wool, pile height, and density

  • Reinforcing surrounding areas for strength

Proper repairs restore stability while maintaining the rug’s original character.

Why Early Repair Matters

Ignoring holes or tears can lead to:

  • Rapid unraveling

  • Loss of structural integrity

  • More extensive and costly repairs

Addressing damage early is the most effective way to extend a rug’s life.
