What does a new vanity unit cost in Walthamstow?
Our guide price for a new vanity unit in Walthamstow 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 Walthamstow
We work right across Walthamstow — E4, E10, E11 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Leytonstone and Tottenham.
In Walthamstow, 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 Walthamstow bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. Landlords in Walthamstow can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.
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
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Decisions to make first
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.
Basin type
An inset or semi-recessed basin, a one-piece moulded top, or a countertop basin on a worktop. Countertop basins need a tall tap or a wall-mounted one.
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.
