What does a new vanity unit cost in Peckham?
Our guide price for a new vanity unit in Peckham is £450–£1,900 including VAT. We adjust the national guide for London, where prices are typically about 25% above the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Peckham
As well as Peckham itself (SE5, SE14 and SE15), we survey in Brixton, Greenwich and Catford.
In Peckham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Peckham bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. If your Peckham water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.
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
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Decisions to make first
Drawers or doors
Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.
Wall-hung or floor-standing
Wall-hung units leave the floor clear and are easy to clean under, but need a strong wall. Floor-standing units hold more and suit weak or uneven walls.
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.
