What does a new vanity unit cost in Old Trafford?
For Old Trafford, our guide range for a new vanity unit is £350 to £1,400 including VAT. Prices in North West England run at about 6% below 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 Old Trafford
As well as Old Trafford itself (M16, M17 and M32), we survey in Stretford, Salford and Eccles.
Old Trafford gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Landlords in Old Trafford can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. If your Old Trafford water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.
Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
