What does a new vanity unit cost in Hastings?
Our guide price for a new vanity unit in Hastings is £400–£1,700 including VAT. Labour costs in South East England put local prices at about 12% above the UK guide figure. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Hastings
We cover every part of Hastings, including TN34, TN35, TN37 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Bexhill-on-Sea (4.8 miles) and Hailsham (14.1 miles).
Across a large town like Hastings, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Hastings cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. Wall-hung vanities in Hastings homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.
Supplies across most of East Sussex are hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
Rules that apply in England
In England, the tap and supply pipework come under the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999. A new waste connection to the soil stack can be Part H work, and adding a light to the unit or above it is notifiable under Part P.
