Sink repair in Halfway, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re frequently asked to fix a crack near the taps and fine cracks across the glaze, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
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.

FAQs for Halfway
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
