Can you fix a patch of carpet.

If the rip is small enough you might need to lengthen it with the utility knife. Use the utility knife if you need to cut the old tape at the end of the seam. Use the utility knife to lift the edges of the seam or rip. Properly planned and executed.

Place your patch to fill the hole the way that the patch s fibers follow the direction of the rest carpeting fibers. Orient the patch so the grain of the carpet runs the same direction as the installed carpet then. If you re using carpet tape stick it onto the base floor as well. Apply carpet adhesive to the fabric and to the carpet edges that surround the hole you cut out.

Because the donor area is filled in either with a piece of remnant carpet or is left unrepaired carpet patching is considered to be imperfect but a net overall improvement. Remove the old carpet tape from under both sides of the seam or rip. Hold the patch in place for a little while. 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.

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.
