What does a new vanity unit cost in Oadby?
In Oadby, a new vanity unit typically costs £350–£1,450 including VAT, based on East Midlands prices. Prices in East Midlands run at about 4% 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 Oadby
As well as Oadby itself (LE2), we survey in Wigston Magna, Leicester and Mountsorrel.
Oadby gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Wall-hung vanities in Oadby homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Oadby bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.
Water across much of Leicestershire is 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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
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.
