Girdle Toll: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

All of North Ayrshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Girdle Toll

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Dents and gouges
  • A chipped edge
  • A chipped quartz edge

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
