Professional vanity installation

A bathroom vanity combines the basin, tapware, storage and bench in one unit, and installing it properly means connecting the basin, tap, waste and water supply, sealing it, and testing it leak-free, so it works well and does not leak into the cabinet or onto the floor. We install and replace bathroom vanities of all types, connecting the plumbing, sealing the unit and basin, and testing everything, so you get a vanity that functions properly and stays watertight. Whether it is a new vanity, a replacement, or part of a bathroom renovation, we install it correctly across Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, with an upfront fixed price and workmanship we stand behind.

Vanities we install

We install all types of bathroom vanities:

Freestanding (floor-standing) vanities, the most common
Wall-hung vanities, mounted off the floor for a modern look and easier cleaning
Single and double basin vanities
Vanities with above-counter, drop-in or undermount basins
Compact and corner vanities for small bathrooms

Each type installs and connects a little differently, and wall-hung vanities in particular need secure mounting and may need the plumbing connections relocated. We have the expertise to install them all, connect the plumbing correctly, and seal and test everything, so your new vanity looks right and works properly.

Connecting the basin and tap

Installing a vanity includes connecting the basin and the tap, which we handle as part of the job. We fit the basin to the vanity (or connect an above-counter basin), install and connect the tap or mixer to the water supply, and seal everything. This is the ideal time to fit a modern mixer tap if you are upgrading. We can install tapware you have chosen or supply a suitable one. Connecting the basin and tap correctly, with sound, sealed connections, is essential so there are no leaks at the tap base or the connections below. We leave the basin and tap installed, connected and tested, as part of a complete vanity installation.

The waste and water connections

A crucial part of installing a vanity is connecting the waste and water supply correctly. The basin waste connects to the P-trap and the drain, and the hot and cold water supplies connect to the tap, all of which must be sealed and secure, or the vanity will leak into the cabinet. We connect and seal the waste, trap and water supply, and where the new vanity’s basin or connections sit differently from the old plumbing, we adapt or relocate the connections to suit. We test everything by running water, checking the tap, waste, trap and all connections for leaks. Getting these connections right is what keeps the inside of your vanity dry and free of the leaks that rot cabinetry.

Replacing an old vanity

Replacing an old, worn, water-damaged or dated vanity is a common job that transforms a bathroom. We remove the old vanity, disconnect the plumbing, and install the new one, reconnecting the basin, tap, waste and water supply, and adapting the connections where the new vanity differs in size or layout from the old. We seal the new vanity and basin and test everything leak-free. If the tap is also old, replacing it at the same time makes sense. Whether your old vanity is water-damaged, cracked, or you simply want to update the look of your bathroom, we can fit a new one and have it connected, sealed and working properly.

Wall-hung vanities

Wall-hung (floating) vanities, mounted off the floor, are popular for their modern look and for making the floor easier to clean and a small bathroom feel more spacious. They need secure mounting into the wall structure to safely bear the weight of the vanity, basin and contents, and the plumbing connections, waste and water, usually need to be positioned to come through the wall rather than the floor, which may mean relocating them. We install wall-hung vanities securely, with the plumbing connections correctly positioned and sealed, and tested leak-free. If you want the clean, modern look of a wall-hung vanity, we can install it properly, fixed securely and plumbed correctly, so it is both stylish and sound.

Vanities in a renovation

Installing a vanity is a central part of a bathroom renovation, and we coordinate it with the other work. In a renovation, the vanity, basin, tap and the plumbing connections may all be new or relocated, and the plumbing needs to be roughed in to the right position for the new layout and vanity. We can plumb the new vanity location, install the vanity, basin and tap, and connect everything, working in with the waterproofing, tiling and cabinetry. Getting the plumbing positioned correctly during the renovation ensures the vanity sits and connects properly. If you are renovating your bathroom, we handle the vanity and its plumbing, so your new bathroom is complete, leak-free and properly connected.

Upgrading the tapware

Installing a new vanity is the perfect time to upgrade the tapware to a modern mixer tap, which gives convenient one-hand control of temperature and flow and a clean, contemporary look that suits a new vanity. We can fit a basin mixer as part of the vanity installation, connecting it to the water supply and testing it leak-free, and we can match it to the other tapware and finishes in your bathroom. Whether you want a standard tap, a tall vessel mixer for an above-counter basin, or a wall-mounted mixer, we install the tapware that suits your new vanity and basin, so the whole unit looks and works its best.

Avoiding leaks and water damage

The main reason to have a vanity installed by a plumber is to avoid the leaks and water damage a poor installation causes. The inside of a vanity cabinet houses the waste, trap and water connections, and if any of these leak, the water rots the cabinet base and floor and breeds mould, often unnoticed until there is damage. Correct, sealed connections, a properly sealed basin and vanity, and thorough leak testing prevent this. We install vanities with sound, sealed connections and test everything, so the inside of your vanity stays dry. Getting the installation right is cheap insurance against the water damage a leaking vanity can cause to your cabinetry and bathroom floor.

Sealing the vanity

As well as the plumbing connections, sealing the vanity itself matters, the join between the vanity or its top and the wall, and around the basin, should be sealed so water from the basin and benchtop cannot get behind or underneath and into the cabinet or wall. We seal the vanity to the wall and the basin to the top as part of the installation, so splashes and spills cannot track into places they will cause damage. This, combined with sound plumbing connections, keeps your vanity watertight. Proper sealing is a small but important part of a vanity installation that is often skimped in a DIY job, and it is part of why a professionally installed vanity lasts.

How much does it cost?

The cost of installing a vanity depends on the type of vanity, whether it is a replacement using existing plumbing or a new installation needing the connections run or relocated (as wall-hung vanities often do), and whether a new tap is included. A straightforward replacement is affordable; a wall-hung vanity or one in a new position, needing the plumbing relocated, costs more. We assess the job and give you an upfront fixed price before we start, including tapware if we are supplying it. We will explain what is involved, so there are no surprises, and leave you with a properly installed, sealed, leak-free vanity.
