What does a new vanity unit cost in Eastwood?

For Eastwood, our guide range for a new vanity unit is £350 to £1,450 including VAT. 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 Eastwood

We work right across Eastwood — DE7, DE75 and NG16 — and in neighbouring Ilkeston and Heanor.

Eastwood gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Landlords in Eastwood can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. If your Eastwood 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 Nottinghamshire are 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

Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls

Decisions to make first

Basin type

An inset or semi-recessed basin, a one-piece moulded top, or a countertop basin on a worktop. Countertop basins need a tall tap or a wall-mounted one.

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.

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.

Who handles building control for a new vanity unit in Eastwood?

Building control for Eastwood is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Do vanity units come with a basin and tap?

Most vanity units are sold with a basin or a one-piece basin and top, while the tap and waste are usually bought separately. Check whether the basin has a tap hole and an overflow, because that decides which tap and waste you need.
