What does a new vanity unit cost in Bicester?
Guide price in Bicester: £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 Bicester
As well as Bicester itself (OX6 and OX26), we survey in Oxford, Cowley and Banbury.
Homes in and around Bicester vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Bicester water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean. We quote vanity unit work in Bicester after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.
Supplies across most of Oxfordshire 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
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
- 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
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Decisions to make first
Wall-hung or floor-standing
Wall-hung units leave the floor clear and are easy to clean under, but need a strong wall. Floor-standing units hold more and suit weak or uneven walls.
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.
