What you will learn

Learn the repairs customers actually need.

Our carpet repair course combines demonstrations with hands-on practice. Build your understanding of the repair, the tools involved and how to assess the job before agreeing to the work.

01 / PATCHING

Carpet patch repairs

Learn to replace a damaged section using donor carpet, with careful cutting, alignment and finishing to help the repair blend into the surrounding pile.

02 / HEAT DAMAGE

Burns & scorch marks

Understand how to approach cigarette burns, iron marks and other heat damage, assess the affected area and choose a suitable repair.

03 / PET DAMAGE

Fraying & pet damage

Practise techniques for damaged areas caused by scratching, pulling and fraying, including common problems around doorways and edges.

04 / EDGES & JOINS

Doorways & seam repairs

Learn how to approach loose doorway edges, threshold repairs and split or lifting joins, with attention to a secure fit and neat finish.

05 / REFITTING

Re-stretching & ripples

Cover loose carpet and ripple removal, learning how refitting can improve the finish and when a job needs further assessment.

06 / BUSINESS SKILLS

Tools, pricing & selling

Find out what equipment to buy, where to source materials and how to price work. Learn how to introduce repairs to your existing customers.

You practise as well as watch. Small-group tuition gives you the opportunity to work through the techniques, ask questions and receive guidance.
