Working in Hawick

In Hawick we cover TD9; we also cover Galashiels, 13.3 miles away, and Kelso.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Hawick: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Hawick cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. We quote vanity unit work in Hawick after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.

Supplies across most of the Scottish Borders 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

Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away

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.

More about vanity units

Vanity units in Hawick: questions

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

A new vanity unit in Hawick 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 TD9 in Hawick?

Yes. We cover all of Hawick, including TD9, and nearby Galashiels, Kelso and Peebles. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Hawick?

Will a new vanity unit in Hawick 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.
