What does a new vanity unit cost in Fleet?
As a guide, budget £400 to £1,700 including VAT for a new vanity unit in Fleet; your written quote will pin it down. Prices in South East England run at about 12% 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 Fleet
We cover every part of Fleet, including GU13, GU51 and GU52, and nearby Farnborough (3.4 miles) and Aldershot (3.9 miles).
In Fleet, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Wall-hung vanities in Fleet homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. Landlords in Fleet can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day.
Most of Hampshire has 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
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
- 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
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.
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.
