What does a new vanity unit cost in Brentwood?
In Brentwood, a new vanity unit typically costs £350–£1,600 including VAT, based on East of England prices. 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 Brentwood
We work right across Brentwood — CM13, CM14 and CM15 — and in neighbouring Billericay and Hornchurch.
Homes in and around Brentwood vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Landlords in Brentwood can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. We quote vanity unit work in Brentwood after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.
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
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
