In an update to the London Stock Exchange, the group added that its underlying operating profits hit a record of £22m, a rise from £12.8m.
In the UK, the group's brands also include Merlyn, Vado, Croydex, Abode and Norcros Adhesives. Its South Africa brands are Tile Africa, Johnson Tiles South Africa, TAL and House of Plumbing.
Chief executive Nick Kelsall said: "The strength of our leading customer proposition and our focussed operating model has resulted in an excellent performance during the first half, with the group benefitting from increased activity in the UK and South African RMI markets and also winning market share.
"Notwithstanding the ongoing uncertainty created by supply chain challenges, increased energy costs, inflationary cost pressure and a normalisation of consumer spending patterns, the board remains confident our proven business model and customer proposition will lead to further progress, in line with its expectations, for the year to 31 March 2022."
