What does a new vanity unit cost in Staines?
Our guide price for a new vanity unit in Staines is £400–£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 Staines
We work right across Staines — TW15, TW16, TW17 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Egham and Ashford.
Homes in and around Staines vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Wall-hung vanities in Staines 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 Staines bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.
Water across much of Surrey 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
- A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
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.
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.
