Professional Rug Repair in London
Not every sign of damage means a rug is beyond saving. In many cases, worn pile, frayed fringes, loose edges or moth damage can be carefully restored, returning the rug to a condition close to its former self while protecting its value and heritage. Our role is to assess honestly what can be achieved and to recommend only the work your rug genuinely needs.
Delicate fibres such as silk and fine wool, and the natural dyes used in handmade and antique rugs, are easily harmed by incorrect or amateur repair. A well-meant DIY fix or a generic approach can cause lasting damage, distort the weave or leave colours uneven. Our methods are assessment-based and fibre-specific, never one-size-fits-all, so each rug is treated according to its own construction, age and condition.
Every rug is examined before any work begins, and a supervisor oversees the job from start to finish. Where helpful, we document the work with before and after photographs, so the improvement is clear to see.
Getting started is simple. You can send us photographs of the damage via WhatsApp for an initial view, or arrange an on-site evaluation so we can assess the rug in person. From there, we explain what is achievable and provide a clear quote.
Our Rug Repair & Restoration Services
Reweaving & Pile Restoration
We rebuild worn, thin or damaged areas of pile by hand, recreating the original weave wherever possible. This restores both the appearance and the structural integrity of the rug.
Fringe Repair & Re-Knotting
We repair, secure and re-knot damaged or unravelling fringes, protecting the ends of the rug from further wear. This is one of the most common and effective ways to extend a rug’s life.
Securing Loose Threads & Edges
We secure loose threads and re-bind worn or frayed edges to halt damage before it spreads. Catching this early often prevents far more extensive repair later.
Moth-Damage Repair
We repair holes, thinning and bare patches caused by moths, carefully restoring the affected areas. Depending on the rug’s condition, fibre and dyes, we rebuild the damaged sections to blend with the surrounding weave.
Colour Correction & Dye Restoration
We carry out specialist colour correction to revive faded, sun-bleached or uneven areas, working to a more consistent tone wherever possible. Each treatment is tailored to the rug’s original dyes and materials.
Antique & Silk Rug Restoration
We restore antique, silk and other high-value rugs with the meticulous, hand-finished care these delicate pieces demand. Our specialist knowledge of fine materials allows us to work safely where a general approach would risk harm.
Why Restoration Is Better Than Replacement
A fine rug is rarely just a furnishing. Handmade Persian, Oriental and antique rugs hold real financial value, distinctive character and, very often, deep sentimental meaning that simply cannot be bought again. Restoration preserves all of this, the original weave, the craftsmanship and the history woven into the piece, in a way that a replacement never can.
It is also the more economical choice. A considered repair typically costs a fraction of replacing a comparable handmade rug, while protecting the investment you already hold. In most cases, restoring what you treasure is both the wiser and the more rewarding decision.
Our Rug Repair Process
1. Consultation & Damage Assessment
We begin by examining the rug closely, its fibre, construction, age, dyes and the extent of the damage, so we understand exactly what we are working with and what can realistically be achieved.
2. Restoration Planning
We then choose the method best suited to the rug, selected by fibre type and condition rather than a fixed routine, and explain the plan and a clear quote before any work starts.
3. Hand Restoration
Our skilled craftsmen carry out the repair by hand, whether reweaving pile, re-knotting fringes or rebuilding moth-damaged areas, working with the care and patience fine rugs require.
4. Blending & Finishing
We blend the restored areas with the surrounding weave and colour as closely as the rug's condition, fibre and dyes allow, finishing the piece by hand for a cohesive result.
5. Final Inspection & Aftercare Advice
A final inspection under supervision confirms the standard of the work, and we offer practical aftercare advice to help protect your rug for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of rugs do you repair?
We repair and restore Persian, Oriental, antique, silk, wool and handmade rugs, as well as everyday domestic rugs. Each is treated according to its own fibre, construction and condition.
Can moth damage and holes be repaired?
Yes. We repair holes, thinning and bare patches caused by moths and general wear, rebuilding the affected areas to blend with the surrounding weave wherever the rug’s condition allows.
Will the repair be completely invisible?
Our aim is always a discreet, well-blended result, and in many cases the repair is very difficult to detect. However, perfect uniformity is not always achievable; the outcome depends on the rug’s condition, fibre and original dyes, which we assess honestly beforehand.
Do you repair antique and silk rugs?
Yes. Antique and silk rugs are a particular specialism. Their delicacy demands meticulous, hand-finished care, and our knowledge of fine materials allows us to work safely where a general approach would risk harm.
How much does rug repair cost?
Rug repair is priced on request following a professional assessment, as cost depends on the type and extent of the damage. We provide a clear quote once we have evaluated the rug, with no hidden charges.
How long does a repair take?
This varies with the nature and extent of the work, which is why timing is confirmed after assessment. Most restoration is carried out in our controlled workshop to ensure the best results.
Do you collect and deliver rugs across London?
Yes. Our service is workshop-based, with pickup, delivery and controlled drying arranged across London for your convenience.
Is colour correction possible for faded or bleached areas?
In many cases, yes. We offer specialist colour correction to revive faded or sun-bleached areas, working towards a more even tone wherever possible, tailored to the rug’s original dyes and materials.
