Lamp Repair Service in Rochester
A lamp that flickers, buzzes, or won't turn on at all is often more than a nuisance. Frayed wiring, a loose socket, or a failing plug can turn a favorite table lamp into a real fire hazard. Weiders' lamp repair technicians diagnose these problems and bring lamps back into safe, reliable working order, from small table lamps and reading lamps to tall floor lamps, chandeliers, and everything in between. Whether the fix is a quick socket swap or a full rewire on a lamp that's been in the family for decades, we treat every job with the same care.
We also stock, or can source, hard-to-find replacement bulbs for older and specialty fixtures, so you don't have to hunt around Rochester for a bulb that no longer sits on most shelves. And because this area has no shortage of older homes filled with older lamps, we've built up real expertise restoring antique fixtures so they can keep doing what they were made to do: light a room, safely, for another few decades.

Not every lamp problem is obvious from the outside. A lamp that "just stopped working" could be a bad socket, a break inside the cord, or a wiring issue at the plug. That's exactly why we recommend bringing in the whole lamp rather than guessing at parts on your own.
Antique and Specialty Lamp Restoration
Antique lamps deserve a technician who understands old wiring standards, brittle cloth-covered cord, and hardware that hasn't been manufactured in years. We specialize in restoring these pieces, matching period-appropriate parts where we can and rewiring with modern, safe materials where it matters most, so a lamp passed down through your family can keep earning its spot on the side table.
Chandeliers get the same attention. Between the wiring, the sockets, and the years of dust and tarnish that build up on the arms and crystals, a chandelier often needs more than a quick fix, so we clean as well as rewire, and it shows in the finished result.
Why Bring Your Lamp to a Local Shop
A lamp repair shop that also happens to be a full hardware and electrical department has an advantage: if your lamp needs a specific gauge of wire, a particular socket, or a replacement plug, those parts are usually already on our shelves. You're not waiting on a specialty mail-order part before we can even start the job.
If you're in Brighton, Honeoye Falls, Fairport, or anywhere else in the Rochester area and you've got a lamp that's stopped working, bring it by any Weiders location. As your neighborhood hardware store, our trusted lamp technicians can take a look, explain what's wrong in plain terms, and get it back to you working the way it should.
Why Weiders
In-House Rewiring & Socket Repair
Repairs are done by our own lamp technician, not shipped off to a third-party repair shop and forgotten about.
Antique & Heirloom Restoration
We specialize in bringing older, sentimental lamps back to safe working order so you can keep using them for generations.
Usually Cheaper Than Replacing
Rewiring and socket repair typically cost far less than buying a comparable-quality new lamp — especially for well-built or vintage pieces.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair antique or heirloom lamps?
Yes — antique lamp restoration is one of our specialties, so you can keep using a family piece safely instead of retiring it.
What if my lamp needs a part you don't have on hand?
We'll call you with a quote before ordering anything or doing further work, so there are no surprises when you pick it up.
Can you pick up my lamp if it's too big to bring in?
Yes — pickup and delivery is available for large or heavy lamps and chandeliers that won't fit in your car.
Is it worth repairing an old lamp instead of buying a new one?
Often, yes — frayed wiring and worn sockets (the most common causes of lamp failure) are usually inexpensive to fix, and repair is a good way to keep a well-made or sentimental lamp instead of replacing it.
