Landlord and trade work in Playing Place
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
About our worktop repair in Playing Place
We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Typical jobs include damage from fitting or building work and dents and gouges, across solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Playing Place questions
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Playing Place.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How much does worktop repair cost in Playing Place?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Repair or replace in Playing Place?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
When to call us in Playing Place
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips caused during installation
- Knife marks
- Chips near the sink
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
What we do, step by step
