Customer Reviews
Customer service from Simon was excellent, he advised me on the steps I needed to take to match an oak balustrade that I’m making to my clients antique dresser.
I purchased a beeswax polish which was delivered promptly in great packaging.
Once I’ve finished the project I’ll be sure to post pictures of the transformation.
A great company to deal with.
I have used various antique polishes on my oak and mahogany furniture but Gilboys was a revelation. After only one application my cherished pieces took on a revitalised glow. Even on relatively modern polished furniture it gives a super smooth finish and feel.
A bonus is the discount allowed on repeat orders where the return of the empty jar is pre-paid.
Look no further, this is the very best.
I have never attempted furniture restoration in the past but your videos gave me the confidence to have a go. I have two antique tables, one dining room table and one coffee table and i followed the video for every stage. I loved the results and the wax is an absolute joy to apply and use. My tables have been bought back to life and they have a beautiful honeyed (no pun intended) glow and also smell lovely. The service was excellent and the personal touches on and in the packaging our totally charming. I surprised myself and thoroughly enjoyed the process from start to finish and look forward to restoring more items.
Thank you to all at Gilboy’s
Smartly presented, packaged neatly. Joy using the wax - furniture feeling full of life and glowing colour! Very grateful I came across your YouTube channel. I was getting fed up searching for something that doesn't make antiques feel gloomy.
Thank you
I ordered the Antique Gold polishing kit and the entire experience has been faultless. The ordering process was simple but the kit itself is a delight! Beautifully presented and really would make a wonderful gift. I have had no reason to put this to the test but I have no doubt that the customer service would be faultless too. Very happy customer - 5 stars from me!
Great service, quick delivery with lovely personal touches. Loved the seeds! Haven't had time to actually use the polish yet, but I will send some pictures of our inherited oak secretaire and old oak chest once we have finished them. I also found the different instructional videos on the website extremely helpful. Many thanks!
Very good products and excellent customer care.
Refurbishing my furniture and the antique gold wax polish is great and is bringing all old pieces back to life.
Product arrived as requested and is very well presented.
After watching a youtube video i decided to go with Gilboys for my african ( zambian) carved hardwood table. It was just what was needed - it brought it back to life and as i remember it back in the 70’s growing up in Zambia. I hope i can maintain it and pass it on to my daughter some day. Thanks to Gilboys ! George
Was completely resurfacing an old oak dining table. Followed Gilboy’s YouTube video and it went like a dream. Had a little snag with the final polish (my fault) but rang Simon Gilboy and he was so helpful in putting things right. Am thrilled with result.
Restoring/reupholstering an antique chaise longue next, and this polish will be just perfect.
Thank you Simon!
