When should a lamp be repaired?
Stop using a lamp and have it checked if you notice any of these signs. Cords, switches and lamp holders wear out with years of use, and a worn part can overheat.
- The cord is frayed, cracked, kinked or feels warm.
- The plug is loose, cracked or has scorch marks.
- The switch crackles, sticks or only works in one position.
- The light flickers or cuts out when you move the lamp or touch the cord.
- The lamp holder is loose, cracked or discoloured.
- You feel a tingle when you touch the lamp.
Is it worth repairing a lamp?
Often, yes. A good lamp base can outlast several cords and switches, and a $50 repair usually costs less than replacing it with a lamp of the same quality. It's also the only way to keep a lamp with sentimental value, such as a family piece or a vintage find.
If the base itself is broken, or a new lamp makes more sense, we have more than 400 table, floor and desk lamps in our range, plus replacement lamp shades and globes.
Can old and antique lamps be rewired?
Usually. Many older lamps, including leadlight lamps, brass and timber floor lamps and ceramic table lamps, can be rewired with a new cord, plug, switch and lamp holder while keeping their original look. Bring the lamp in, or send a photo with the form, and we'll tell you what it needs.

Lamp repair questions
How much does a lamp repair cost?
Standard lamp repairs at Lighting Bonanza are $50 per lamp, for repairs such as a new switch, cord, plug or lamp holder. If your lamp needs an unusual part, we'll tell you the cost before we go ahead.
How much does it cost to rewire a lamp?
Rewiring a table or floor lamp is a standard repair at $50 per lamp.
Can you fix a touch lamp?
Usually, yes. When a touch lamp stops working, flickers or gets stuck on one brightness, the touch control often needs replacing. Bring it in, or send a photo with the booking form, and we'll check it.
Are old lamps safe to use?
An old lamp can be safe once it has been checked and, if needed, rewired. Cords and lamp holders wear out over time, so if the cord is stiff, cracked or frayed, or the lamp flickers, stop using it and have it repaired.
Do I need to book a lamp repair?
Booking with the form lets us know what's coming and lets you send photos, but you can also bring the lamp into the showroom during opening hours. Call 02 6021 8814 if you have any questions.
Where can I buy lamp parts?
We keep light globes and replacement lamp shades in the showroom. For switches, cords and lamp holders, it's usually simplest and safest to have us fit the part as a $50 repair.
