Bathroom vanity replacement: costs and options
For a bathroom refresh, start with a like-for-like vanity if the existing pipe positions and wall condition suit. Moving the unit or converting to wall hung can bring tile, wall and plumbing work into scope.
What to include in the scope
Price the cabinet, top, basin, mixer, wastes and fitting individually. Check whether the drawer layout clears the trap, and ask how the finished wall and floor will look if the new cabinet covers less area.
Plumbing and drainage work may require a licensed plumber. Check the rules for your state or territory and whether permits are needed.

Build your budget
Adjust the quantities and unit rates. This is a planning tool, not an installer quote.
Use local itemised quotes as the starting rates. Freight, labour availability and minimum call-out charges can change the total by location. Enter GST-inclusive rates where available and list removal, disposal and access separately when excluded.
Ask before you accept a quote.
- Does the quote include disconnection, the new waste and valves, disposal, and repair of exposed tiles or waterproofing?
- Is GST included, and is the price fixed or estimated?
- Are removal, disposal, access and making-good included?
- What changes would trigger extra costs, and who approves them?
- What is the warranty on products and workmanship?
