Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Common problems we fix in Gibraltar
Most chips are on edges and corners, often when something heavy catches the edge.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Burns from hot pans
- Gouges in the surface
- Scratches and knife marks
- A damaged sink edge

Common questions in Gibraltar
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work in Gibraltar?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Gibraltar and the rest of Buckinghamshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Buckinghamshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Water-swollen laminate
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
