FAQs for Gilberries
Do you work in Gilberries?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Gilberries and the rest of Shropshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Gilberries
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble

Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gilberries as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What we are called out for in Gilberries
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chipped corners
- Scorch marks from pans
- Chips near the sink
- Dents and gouges
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep joints and edges dry
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
