What does a new vanity unit cost in Dover?
Guide price in Dover: £400–£1,700 including VAT, depending on the room and what you choose. 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 Dover
As well as Dover itself (CT14, CT16 and CT17), we survey in Folkestone, Deal and Canterbury.
Homes in and around Dover vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Dover bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. If your Dover 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 Kent are 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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Decisions to make first
Waste and overflow
A basin with an overflow takes a slotted waste; one without needs an unslotted waste, often a push-button 'click-clack' type.
Drawers or doors
Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.
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.
