Light Switch Repair & Replacement
Two-Way Switch Installation in Singapore
Two-way switch replacement or installation starts from $80 at SG QuickFix. A two-way switch lets one light be controlled from two places, such as both ends of a corridor or the top and bottom of a staircase. A light that works from only one of its two switches usually has a failed switch or a wiring fault between them, which is found and fixed in 30 to 60 minutes.

Task guide
When this may be needed
- A corridor or staircase light works from only one switch.
- The two switches must be in a particular position for the light to work.
- One of the pair is loose, cracked or sparks.
- You want a second switch by the bedroom door and the bed.
- A renovation moved a doorway and the switch is in the wrong place.
What the team does
The technician tests both switches and the strappers, the two wires that link them. A failed switch is replaced, and the connections are remade so the common and strapper terminals are correct. Where a new two-way arrangement is needed, a second switch is added with the strapper wires run in surface trunking. The light is tested from both switches in every combination.
Included in this price

Limits & price factors
