Rug Repair

Initially we can inspect your rugs for any damage or weak areas which may cause problems in time. We can then suggest a suitable repair and provide you with a quotation before proceeding with any work.

Fringe Repair

The rug’s fringe, also known as the ‘Warps’, runs the complete length of the rug, from one end to the other. It is the rug’s ‘backbone’ and provides the rug with stability. The integrity of the whole rug is compromised when the fringe becomes damaged. If it is left unsecured for too long then pile from the rug’s main field will start to fall off the end of the rug, meaning the cost of repair increases. Fringes are usually the first part of the rug to become damaged due to general foot traffic, getting caught in the vacuum cleaner and being chewed by pets. The fringes should be repaired quickly, as soon as any damage is noticed. It’s a relatively low cost procedure and will protect the rug from further damage in the future.

Side Repair

Another common area of rug damage we see is to the side cords. The overcast edges of a rug also provide strength and stability and prevent pile loss from the sides. Once again, the side cords are subjected to a certain amount of foot traffic, and constant beating from vacuum cleaning. They can start to show signs of wear by fraying slightly, and then eventually can become completely detached. As with fringes, this can be a low cost repair if caught and dealt with quickly. If left too long your rug’s main field will start to lose fibres and small areas of the side of the rug will disappear, creating a much more costly repair.

Reweave to a Ziegler Rug

The main area of your rugs can also be subjected to damage, caused by excessive wear, burns, moth infestation, and heavy furniture. This type of repair can be the most time consuming and costly, but the financial implications can be limited if dealt with promptly. If the damage is left unattended, the risk of further pile loss and damage is increased.

As you can see from the picture above that a burn mark has ruined the visual appearance of this Afghan Ziegler rug. A spark from the fire went unnoticed for a while, and although wool does self-extinguish, it has scarred the face fibres and altered the aesthetic appeal. With the rug having been invisibly repaired, it has now regained it’s original look. A reweaving repair can be time consuming but the results are very satisfying and can save your valuable rugs from further damage, whilst restoring them to their former glory.

I had three Turkish rugs cleaned and mended, and I’m really pleased with the service. The rugs were picked up from my home and then delivered back to storage, which was perfect as my house is being refurbished. Great communication throughout and very easy to deal with. The rugs look fantastic – highly recommend!

The service from ORS was very professional and great value. Dan explained how he would treat my rug which has been a centrepiece in my homes for over 25 years. The results were beautiful. The sheen and colours have been restored and the pile is lovely and soft. The turnaround was timely and the premises were pretty straightforward to access. I'm delighted with their service.

Thank you Oriental Rug Spa for making such a wonderful job cleaning my John Lewis 100% wool duck egg blue rug 3m x 2m.
Your service was excellent from start to finish the rug was beautifully clean, the pile was totally revitalised and it smelt so fresh again after my Border Terrier had a little accident on it! I would highly recommend your service from my experience.

Excellent service. The owner was very honest in his appraisal of a large stain on my Afghan rug. It was quite bad and he wasn’t sure it could be 100% cleaned. In the end He did a first class job. I Highly recommend this company. Repairing an oriental carpet isn’t cheap but the care and professionalism invested in a much loved and valuable carpet by Dan is definitely worth the outlay.

Thank you for the expert clean up of my wine stained beautiful afghan rug. It’s completely restored and there’s no trace left of the spill. Your communications were very good too!

What an amazing company. They were so excellent and easy to work with. Communication was really superb. We have to say it’s the best service we have had for a very long time. Instructions to wrap up the rug for the collection service was spot on. The rug looks great too and will be down on the floor again very soon.
We were flooded so there is enough stress and strain around you and to have a well organised company like Dan and his crew at Oriental Rug Spa was a total bonus. Thank you to all of you.
