What does a new vanity unit cost in Pitsea?
For Pitsea, our guide range for a new vanity unit is £350 to £1,600 including VAT. 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 Pitsea
We cover every part of Pitsea, including SS13, SS14 and SS16, and nearby Basildon (2.2 miles) and South Benfleet (2.3 miles).
Homes in and around Pitsea vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Pitsea cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Pitsea bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.
Most of Essex has very hard water. 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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
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.
