What does a new vanity unit cost in Blackheath?
For Blackheath, our guide range for a new vanity unit is £450 to £1,900 including VAT. Prices in London run at about 25% 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 Blackheath
We cover every part of Blackheath, including SE3, SE10 and SE13, and nearby Greenwich (1.2 miles) and Catford (1.8 miles).
London homes in Blackheath often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Blackheath water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. If your Blackheath cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.
Water across much of Greater London is 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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- 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
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.
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.
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.
