What does a new vanity unit cost in Rochester?
For Rochester, our guide range for a new vanity unit is £400 to £1,700 including VAT. 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 Rochester
As well as Rochester itself (ME1, ME4 and ME5), we survey in Chatham, Strood and Gillingham.
Homes in and around Rochester vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Wall-hung vanities in Rochester homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If your Rochester cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.
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
- 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
- Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
