Working in Larne

We cover every part of Larne, including BT40, and nearby Carrickfergus (9.3 miles) and Newtownabbey (13.6 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Larne: free survey, written quote, one team. We quote vanity unit work in Larne after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. Landlords in Larne can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.

Most of County Antrim is supplied with soft water. 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

Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps

Decisions to make first

Basin type

An inset or semi-recessed basin, a one-piece moulded top, or a countertop basin on a worktop. Countertop basins need a tall tap or a wall-mounted one.

Width

Compact units around 400 mm wide suit cloakrooms; family bathrooms often take 600 to 800 mm for one basin and 1200 mm or more for two.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 cover the tap and supplies. A basin swap does not need building control approval.

More about vanity units

Vanity units in Larne: questions

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

A new vanity unit in Larne usually costs £300–£1,300 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the water hard in Larne?

Does a new vanity unit in Larne need building control approval?

Building control in Larne is run by the local district council. Where approval is needed, for example for new drainage, we tell you at the survey and handle it as part of the job.

How long does a new vanity unit take?

Allow half a day to 1 day on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Larne.

What height should a vanity unit be?

Most basins are set with the rim around 800 to 900 mm above the floor. A wall-hung unit lets you choose the height, which helps taller households; a floor-standing unit is fixed by its cabinet height.
