I dare to disagree... To make it look nice you gotta remove the damaged area completely (remove all the stuff on the stair after the red line) then cut a piece of matching carpet out with the shape and size of the diagram. After that, stick it on without gluing and try and line everything up straight and cut the excess, then when everything looks good hot glue that bitch on and no one will know. Hardest part is getting carpet that matches, But you can grab a piece from a closet and take it to home depot to compare...

As for any discolorations caused by the new carpet next to the old one, spill some slightly brewed tea and before it dries mop it up with a towel and it'll kinda even out the color. rinse and repeat till desired effect has been achieved.

You expect a diyer to cut a clean seam on a peice of carpet stapled the stairs. And hot glue not staple the repair piece. You just neet a 2 by 5 foot piece of carpet max to replace the tred and have it not look like shit if youre going to pick up carpet to replace it anyways dont be retarded and patch the tred just replace it. Run your utility blade along the seam between the tred and riser put a few staples in just above the seam to make sure it stays put rub the head of your carpet stapler back and forth to work it down to the backing so you cant see dimples from the staples. Pull of old carpet. With pliers and pound down old staples. Now replce carpet intead of doing a repair that would take forever and look bad even if a pro did it
