Working in Stranraer

As well as Stranraer itself (DG9), we survey in Dumfries, Locharbriggs and Annan.

Stranraer gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Stranraer cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. Wall-hung vanities in Stranraer homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.

Water across much of Dumfries and Galloway 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

Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away

Decisions to make first

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units leave the floor clear and are easy to clean under, but need a strong wall. Floor-standing units hold more and suit weak or uneven walls.

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.

More about vanity units

Vanity units in Stranraer: questions

How much does a new vanity unit cost in Stranraer?

A new vanity unit in Stranraer usually costs £350–£1,450 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

How long does a new vanity unit take?

Allow half a day to 1 day on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Stranraer.

Is the home survey in Stranraer 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 DG9 in Stranraer?

Yes. We cover all of Stranraer, including DG9, and nearby Dumfries, Locharbriggs and Annan. 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.
