Working in Blantyre

We work right across Blantyre — G71, G72 and ML3 — and in neighbouring Cambuslang and Hamilton.

Blantyre gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Blantyre water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. Wall-hung vanities in Blantyre homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.

Supplies across most of Lanarkshire 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

Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Blantyre: questions

How much should I budget for a new vanity unit in Blantyre?

A new vanity unit in Blantyre usually costs £350–£1,450 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Do you cover G71 in Blantyre?

Yes. We cover all of Blantyre, including G71, G72 and ML3, and nearby Cambuslang, Hamilton and Bellshill. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Blantyre?

Will a new vanity unit in Blantyre 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.

Do vanity units come with a basin and tap?

Most vanity units are sold with a basin or a one-piece basin and top, while the tap and waste are usually bought separately. Check whether the basin has a tap hole and an overflow, because that decides which tap and waste you need.
