What does a new vanity unit cost in Bow?
Our guide price for a new vanity unit in Bow is £450–£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 Bow
In Bow we cover E3, E14 and E15; we also cover Stratford, 0.9 miles away, and Canary Wharf.
London homes in Bow often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If your Bow cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. Wall-hung vanities in Bow homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.
Supplies across most of Greater London 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 check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- 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
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
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.
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.
