What does a new vanity unit cost in Lewes?
As a guide, budget £400 to £1,700 including VAT for a new vanity unit in Lewes; your written quote will pin it down. Prices in South East England run at about 12% above the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Lewes
In Lewes we cover BN7; we also cover Rottingdean, 5.3 miles away, and Peacehaven.
Lewes gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Landlords in Lewes can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. If your Lewes water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.
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
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
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.
Drawers or doors
Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.
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.
