Lamp Repair in Rochester, NY

Lamp Repair and Rewiring at All Three Weiders Stores

We rewire, repair, and restore lamps at all three Weiders stores. Table lamps, floor lamps, desk lamps, touch lamps, chandeliers, and antiques.

A lamp that flickers, buzzes, or won't switch on usually has a frayed cord, a worn socket, or a bad plug. All three are fire risks, and all three are fixable. Bring the lamp to any location and our technicians will diagnose it, quote the work, and get it running safely.

We keep wire, sockets, plugs, harps, and hard-to-find bulbs on the shelf, because we're an electrical and hardware store too. Most repairs don't wait on a mail-order part.

Lamp Repairs We Handle

• Lamp rewiring and cord replacement
• Socket and switch replacement
• Plug replacement
• Soldering and loose electrical connections
• Bent or broken harps and finials
• Chandelier rewiring and cleaning
• Three-way, touch, halogen, and custom lamps
• Lamp conversions
• Hard-to-find and specialty bulbs

If a lamp "just stopped working," the cause is rarely visible from the outside. A break inside the cord looks the same as a dead socket. Bring the whole lamp in rather than guessing at parts.

Table Lamp and Floor Lamp Rewiring

Most table and floor lamps that come across our counter need a new cord, a new socket, or both. On a floor lamp the cord runs the full height of the pole, so a rewire means feeding new wire through the whole column, not just swapping the plug. We rewire, replace the socket and plug, and test the lamp before it goes home.

Lamp Switch and Socket Replacement

A switch that spins without clicking, a three-way lamp that skips a setting, or a pull chain that broke off are all switch or socket problems. We replace the socket shell and switch, and match the finish where we can.

Touch Lamp Repair

A touch lamp that stopped responding, flickers, or turns itself on and off usually has a failed touch control or a loose connection, not a bad bulb. Bring the whole lamp in and we'll diagnose it and quote the repair before we start.

Antique and Vintage Lamp Restoration

Old lamps come with brittle cloth-covered cord, obsolete sockets, and hardware nobody has manufactured in decades. We rewire them with modern materials and match period-correct parts where we can find them. Rochester has a lot of old houses, so we see a lot of old lamps.

If you have an older or heirloom lamp, bring it in and we'll tell you whether it can be restored and what it will take.

Chandelier Rewiring and Cleaning

A chandelier usually needs more than a socket swap. Wiring runs through every arm, and dust and tarnish build up on the crystals over the years. We rewire and clean.

Lamp Conversions

We can turn a bottle, jug, vase, crock, or most other sturdy objects into a working lamp. Bring the piece in and we'll tell you whether it will work and what's involved.

Lamp Pickup and Delivery

Too big or too heavy for the car? We pick up and deliver large lamps and chandeliers for a fee. Call your nearest store for the current rate, service area, and schedule.

What It Costs and How Long It Takes

Rewiring or a new socket usually costs far less than a new lamp of comparable quality, which is why repair is the better call on well-built and vintage pieces.

We look at the lamp, quote the work, and call you before ordering a part or going past the estimate. Most repairs are ready in about a week.
