Working in Kilmarnock

As well as Kilmarnock itself (KA1), we survey in Irvine, Kilwinning and Ayr.

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

Supplies across most of Ayrshire are 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
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps

Decisions to make first

Basin type

An inset or semi-recessed basin, a one-piece moulded top, or a countertop basin on a worktop. Countertop basins need a tall tap or a wall-mounted one.

Waste and overflow

A basin with an overflow takes a slotted waste; one without needs an unslotted waste, often a push-button 'click-clack' type.

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.

More about vanity units

Vanity units in Kilmarnock: questions

What is the price of a new vanity unit in Kilmarnock?

A new vanity unit in Kilmarnock usually costs £350–£1,450 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Do you cover KA1 in Kilmarnock?

Yes. We cover all of Kilmarnock, including KA1, and nearby Irvine, Kilwinning and Ayr. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Kilmarnock?

Will a new vanity unit in Kilmarnock need a building warrant?

Usually not for a straight refit. Building warrants are issued by the local council's building standards service, and forming a new bathroom, changing drainage or structural work can need one. We tell you at the survey and handle the application if one is needed.

Can a wall-hung vanity unit go on a stud wall?

Yes, if there are timber noggins or a fixing frame behind the board at the right height. In a new stud wall these go in before boarding; in an existing one, the board is opened, noggins are added and the wall is made good. Plasterboard fixings alone are not enough for a loaded basin unit.
