Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Halfway questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What we are called out for in Halfway
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
