What does a new vanity unit cost in Speke?
In Speke, a new vanity unit typically costs £350–£1,400 including VAT, based on North West England prices. Prices in North West England run at about 6% 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 Speke
As well as Speke itself (L24, L25 and L26), we survey in Halewood, Hunts Cross and Garston.
Speke gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Wall-hung vanities in Speke homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If your Speke cloakroom still has a pedestal basin, a compact vanity unit adds storage without taking more floor.
Supplies across most of Merseyside are soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. 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
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
- 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
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.
