I never see much regarding carpet spot dyeing, or even full room dyeing for that matter.

Nor dye rectification for Oriental rugs.

Seems that many have pulled their socks up & are now remaining close lipped about this add-on, or indeed, even a separate business.

Do many here still attempt it, or do it?

Personally, I've been ripped of twice by two male charlatan instructors in the carpet dyeing industry.

Sure leaves a sour taste in the mouth. 🤢 🤢 🤮

That loud mouth salesman that did work at the White House had some good pictures of his system.

Don't know if it really worked but it looked like it did. ???

I took some courses years ago but don't have the eye for the color or the patience. Its a great skill to have but not for me.

I do it often. It's a decent little ad-on. I do so much Rental brown nylon I keep a squirt bottle with brown dye in my van ready to go. I don't think people talk about it much because Chris Howell and his x rated videos he sends to women may have ruined the purity of dyeing.

I have not done any in quite some time. Used to do tons. Not seeing much nylon in the rentals here. Most of the chemical damage I see is on poly, and olefins. Yeah, the stuff that is not supposed to do that!!! LOL! purplish , irridescent damage.
Long a go iven attempet to put some color back ON those with RIT, and CTI Color Cosmetics, just to see if I could improve them at all. NOPE!! Permanent markers as well.

Just the other day , first time in a while had chemical damage on brown nylon. Sadly, not just a spot or two or three, or four--------- So much that they replaced instead of having me blend.

On-location work on installed carpet hasn't worked for us. Customers won't pay for the time involved, so it ends up being low-pay, high dissatisfaction work, particularly if an insert is a faster and more customer satisfying option. I'm not sure there's anyone offering spot or full room dyeing here; not even Rainbow.

Oriental rug color repair is a different story. Higher value rugs allow higher repair prices and work done in your shop is done on your schedule.

This is how I quickly and easily take care of bleach spots. I am a professional so please be careful when doing this yourself. I have years of experience backing me and I make it look easier than it really is.
