Can you fix a patch of carpet.

Tools and supplies you will need. Orient the patch so the grain of the carpet runs the same direction as the installed carpet then. Carpet patching is a simple system of carefully cutting out the damaged area and replacing it with a patch of donor carpet of the same size. Remove the old carpet tape from under both sides of the seam or rip.

If those fraying discoloring factors have concentrated in one particular section of your carpet you can patch the installation rather than replace the entire thing. Apply some carpet adhesive onto the patch requiring floor. Apply carpet adhesive to the fabric and to the carpet edges that surround the hole you cut out. Properly planned and executed.

If the rip is small enough you might need to lengthen it with the utility knife. A line or 2 of glue on the surface of the carpet pad will often be sufficient. Hold the patch in place for a little while. Use the utility knife if you need to cut the old tape at the end of the seam.

Keep in mind that if you plan on replacing the carpet the patch will adhere to the padding making it harder to salvage the pad. Use the utility knife to lift the edges of the seam or rip.
