Dagenham Dock: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you come to Dagenham Dock?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Dagenham Dock. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

When to call us in Dagenham Dock
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Dagenham Dock
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
