Working in Wishaw

We work right across Wishaw — ML2 — and in neighbouring Larkhall and Motherwell.

Homes in and around Wishaw vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Wall-hung vanities in Wishaw homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. We quote vanity unit work in Wishaw after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.

Most of Lanarkshire is supplied with soft water. 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

Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
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
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin

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.

Drawers or doors

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

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.

Vanity units in Wishaw: questions

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

A new vanity unit in Wishaw 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.

Is the home survey in Wishaw 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 ML2 in Wishaw?

Yes. We cover all of Wishaw, including ML2, and nearby Larkhall, Motherwell and Hamilton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Wishaw?

Is a wall-hung or floor-standing vanity unit better?

Neither suits every room. Wall-hung units show more floor, make a small bathroom feel larger and are easy to clean under, but need a wall that can carry them. Floor-standing units hold more and suit uneven or weak walls.
