What does a new vanity unit cost in Basildon?
Guide price in Basildon: £350–£1,600 including VAT, depending on the room and what you choose. Prices in East of England run at about 6% 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 Basildon
We work right across Basildon — SS13, SS14, SS15 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Pitsea and Stanford-le-Hope.
Basildon has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. We quote vanity unit work in Basildon after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. If your Basildon cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.
Supplies across most of Essex are very 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
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- 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
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Decisions to make first
One basin or two
Two basins help a busy household if the wall is long enough. In a smaller room, one basin with a longer top often works better.
Waste and overflow
A basin with an overflow takes a slotted waste; one without needs an unslotted waste, often a push-button 'click-clack' type.
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.
