Professional Rug Repair: Giving Well-Loved Rugs New Life

Premium handmade rugs are built to last a lifetime however over time they can still show signs of wear that need love and attention. 

Frayed fringes, torn edges, small holes, and loose binding can all develop after years of regular use. In many cases, the rug itself does not need to be replaced. With the right repair work, it can often be restored and enjoyed for many more years. Don't just throw these beautiful pieces of art away so easily because one small hole. 

At Indo, we offer professional rug repair services in Calgary by our in-house master weaver.

Common Rug Repairs

Over the years, we have worked on many different types of rug repairs, including:

  • Small holes and damaged areas
  • Frayed or worn edges
  • Loose or damaged binding
  • Worn ends
  • Resizing rugs to better fit your unique room size. 
  • Hand-binding newly cut edges with matching wool. 
  • Repairing damage caused by regular wear, furniture or pets. 

Sometimes a small repair can make a surprisingly big difference to the overall appearance of a rug. And stops it from expanding and getting worse. 

Repairing Before Damage Gets Worse

Small areas of damage are often easier to repair when they are addressed early.

A loose edge or small opening can gradually become larger with continued foot traffic. Repairing these areas sooner can help prevent further damage and preserve more of the original rug.

This is especially important with handmade rugs, where the structure of the rug itself can begin to loosen if damaged edges are left untreated.

Folk-Art Hooked Rug.

An atypical repair we did recently, was for this hand-hooked rug that had damage to its edges. We added a black cotton framing to please the client even further. 

Looking brand new again. Some might say even better than before.

Cutting and Binding

We can also resize certain rugs and professionally finish the new edges by cutting and binding. This can give a new or existing design entirely new feel in a room that require more wood showing. 

Here's an example of our 5x7 feet Versace design made narrow without losing the beauty of the design.
