Working in Ayr

In Ayr we cover KA7, KA8 and KA9; we also cover Irvine, 10.9 miles away, and Kilmarnock.

Homes in and around Ayr vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We quote vanity unit work in Ayr after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. Landlords in Ayr can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.

Water across much of Ayrshire is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system

Decisions to make first

Drawers or doors

Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.

One basin or two

Two basins help a busy household if the wall is long enough. In a smaller room, one basin with a longer top often works better.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, a replacement vanity unit does not need a building warrant. The Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover the new tap and supplies.

Is the home survey in Ayr really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover KA7 in Ayr?

Yes. We cover all of Ayr, including KA7, KA8 and KA9, and nearby Irvine, Kilmarnock and Kilwinning. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What height should a vanity unit be?

Most basins are set with the rim around 800 to 900 mm above the floor. A wall-hung unit lets you choose the height, which helps taller households; a floor-standing unit is fixed by its cabinet height.
