Bath repair in Penceilogi, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a cracked acrylic bath, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What we’re called out for in Penceilogi
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Carmarthenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for Penceilogi
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
