What does a new vanity unit cost in Chiswick?
For Chiswick, 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 Chiswick
As well as Chiswick itself (W3, W4 and W6), we survey in Acton, Shepherds Bush and Fulham.
In Chiswick, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. We quote vanity unit work in Chiswick after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. If your Chiswick water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.
Most of Greater London 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 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
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
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.
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.
