Question about my carpet?

A chair I have literally put a hole about the size of a baseball in my carpet. Is there any way to repair or patch it? I cant afford a new carpet, but its only going to get worse...

Answer:

Yes you can or better said a carpet installer can ....you would need a pice of the original carpet...a carpet Iron, some carpet tape....or hirer a carpet guy to fix it...but if that isn't an option you can staple the carpet around the hole...( this keeps the carpet from developing a wrinkle....then get at least 2 of those carpet disks ( kind of like a coaster ) and place them under the legs of the chair to prevent more damage....Good Luck
there are two things you can do 1. replace (and you said it is not an option) 2. cut an even square (like 6X6) out of an un-noticable spot like in a closet. cut the same size around that hole you have. get some carpet glue and glue it in. it won't look perfect, but at least you won't have a whole. next thing, get a cheap rug and sit the chair on it to protect the carpet.
Yes it can be patched, usually what will happen, call one of your local carpet stores as ask for an installer. Tell the installer your problem, He will come out, if there is not any extra carpet , he will usually take a piece from a closet, Using this patch and a carpet seaming iron, and carpet tape he can fix the spot
humm, well you don't say how old the carpet is or if it can be matched.. I would look for carpet just like it and cut an even ring around the hole, then cut the new carpet to fit it as tight as I could.. You can seal it down with a carpet glue or double sided tape so it sticks to the floor and the carpet.. But, because I am a lazy human being.. I would just go and get a nice rug and lay it just under the chair.. They sell chair coasters for under the legs at walmart..
