What does a new vanity unit cost in Borehamwood?
Our guide price for a new vanity unit in Borehamwood is £350–£1,600 including VAT. Prices in East of England run at about 6% 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 Borehamwood
We cover every part of Borehamwood, including WD6, and nearby Barnet (3.3 miles) and Bushey (3.6 miles).
In Borehamwood, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Borehamwood cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor. Wall-hung vanities in Borehamwood homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.
Water across much of Hertfordshire 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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
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.
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.
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.
