Types of bathroom vanities we install

Cabinet

Cabinet vanity is one of the most common types and it can be seen in most houses, it is much like your kitchen cabinet with pull-out and drawers which might be custom made to fit your storage needs.

free standing

This is a vanity with a simple build and style sit is mostly available in square or rectangular shape that could support two sinks. It is great for a master bath.

pedestal

Pedestal vanity needs very little space and is the simplest type of vanity you will find with no space or countertop for storage. It is just a sink and basin that can fit into any type of space, it is also easy to install.

floating

Floating vanity is directly mounted on your bathroom wall and can also be called wall-mounted vanity. This bathroom vanity gives your bathroom a contemporary look, with the freed-up floor space underneath, you can add a countertop to create some storage space.

vessel

Vessel is a type of bathroom vanity that suits your counter with a bowl that arises from the sink area. Vessels have their separate tap. You should know that the vessel vanity can be a little complicated but its intricate patterns and designs are made of metals and porcelain but this adds a lot of beauty to your bathroom.

undermount sink

Under-mounted sink is a built-in basin that is usually mounted below the countertop of your vanity, it has a very sleek style with a smooth appearance creating some space underneath the sink. It is quite tougher to install compared to the rest but it has a very good aesthetic appeal.

Choosing a Bathroom Vanity: Quick Checklist

– Measure twice. Check the room size, door swing, and that the vanity unit doors/drawers open without hitting anything.
– Plan the surrounds. Where will the mirror, wall cabinet, towel rails and lights sit? Make sure everything lines up and has power where needed.
– Know your plumbing. In existing bathrooms, the position of the waste and water points can dictate your options. Not sure? Ask our team—we’ll advise what’s practical and compliant.
– Function first. Do you need more bench space? Drawers vs cupboards? Floor-standing or wall-hung for easier cleaning and a lighter look?

Instructions for Step-by-Step Bathroom Vanity Installation

Here are some DIY steps for you if you want to fix your bathroom vanity yourself. Bathroom vanities can be difficult to fit. Often, fitting a bathroom vanity involves complicated, time-consuming, and expensive alterations to your existing bathroom. It’s much simpler, more affordable, and more attractive to have a brand-new bathroom vanity unit installed. Follow these simple steps to install a bathroom vanity:

Tools used to install a bathroom vanity:
– Tape measure
– Drill with screwdriver bits
– Pencil
– Stud finder
– Level
– Jigsaw
– Coping saw
– Small profile gauge
– Caulk gun

Here is how to install a vanity:

1. Locate the wall studs: Firstly, use a stud finder to locate the wall stud. Mark the middle point. Find the second stud, these studs are always 16 inches apart. Studs are used to hold up drywall on walls and wood on the exterior walls. Most electrical components for the vanity must be attached to the stud on one particular side.
2. Set the bathroom vanity: First, measure the sides of the vanity both the sidewall and back wall, then use a level to mark the position of the measurements of the vanity sides on the wall. Place the vanity in position and ensure that the vanity is in the correct position and if it is not use wood shims to place it in position then drive a 2-inch drywall screw through the vanity. Use a filler strip where necessary.
3. Inspect the side gaps (For sidewall installation): Inspect the side gaps and if there is a gap between the vanity and the wall, use a wood filler strip that fits perfectly into the space to cover up the gap.
4. Cut a filler strip into the size of the gaps between the sidewalls and frame. You can use either a table saw or a jigsaw or a circular saw. Trace the gauge by using a small profile gauge and pencil so that you can repeat the process. Attach the strip to the vanity with a screw.
5. Anchor the side of the vanity to the sidewall
6. Install the vanity top.
7. Connect the plumbing: This is a very important part. It usually comes with a manual guide.
8. Install the backsplash: Backsplash is usually fixed with the vanity but in some, it is separate. To attach it, use silicone caulk to the back of the backsplash.
9. Caulk the joints: Apply caulk to the backsplash to where it touches the wall and where it connects with the countertop.

haNDY TIPS

– Clean and dry surfaces of oil, dirt and grease with turps and then Methylated Spirits. Allow to dry completely before applying silicone.
– Using silicone to fix the vanity top onto the cabinet allows wiggle room. Once it’s completely dry, it won’t move.
– When first applying product, extrude a small amount onto a piece of scrap material to ensure a smooth continuous flow of silicone sealant.
– Use a finger with detergent and water to smooth the silicone.

Bathroom Vanity: What to Consider
(Beyond the Pretty Photos)

Upgrading a vanity isn’t just about the cabinet and a nice tap. A few smart choices now will save leaks, splashes, and headaches later.
1) Tapware (the “faucet” bit)
Pick the tap to suit the basin and bench before you drill a single hole.
Configuration:
Single-hole mixer (one handle, neat and easy to use)
Three-piece / centre-set / widespread (separate hot & cold)
Wall-mounted (great with vessel basins; check reach)
Fit & reach: Make sure the spout reaches into the bowl properly and isn’t so high it turns hand-washing into a water feature.
Cartridges: Modern mixers use ceramic disc cartridges—reliable, smooth, and long-lasting.
Compliance: Choose WaterMark-certified tapware with a solid WELS rating. It’s better for your water bill and meets Australian standards.
Pro tip: Match the tap to the basin’s hole pattern (0/1/3 holes). Retrofitting the wrong tap is where jobs go sideways.

2) Basin & Benchtop
Basin style: Inset/undermount (clean lines), or vessel (sits on top—needs a taller/longer-reach spout).
Overflow: If your basin has an overflow, your waste (drain) must be overflow-compatible.
Bench details: Check thickness and hole sizes (most mixers need ~35mm) and make sure there’s enough depth for the tap hardware.

3) Drain & Trap (the unsung heroes)
Waste type: Pop-up or click-clack stoppers are common. Grid wastes suit powder rooms but can be annoying if you actually want to fill the bowl.
Size: Vanity wastes are typically 32mm or 40mm—match your basin and trap.
Trap: Bottle traps save space in drawers; P-traps are robust and tidy under open vanities. Both must be installed to AS/NZS 3500 with proper fall and seals to prevent odours.

4) Water Supply Lines & Isolation
Use quality, WaterMark-approved flexi hoses and mini-stop valves (isolation taps) so the basin can be serviced without shutting the whole house down.
Pipework can be copper or PEX—both are excellent when installed correctly. Cheap, non-compliant hoses are a flooding risk. If your flexi hoses are older than 5–10 years, consider replacing them while we’re there.

5) Sealing & Waterproofing
Seal the vanity to the wall and top with a neutral-cure, mould-resistant bathroom silicone.
Clean, dry surfaces first; leave a tiny expansion gap; tool it neatly. (We’re fussy—because leaks love lazy silicone.)

6) Storage & Clearances
Check drawer cut-outs around the trap and water lines. A space-saving bottle trap can rescue storage.
Leave room for the GPO (if you’ve got an LED mirror or shaver outlet) and make sure doors/drawers clear skirting and pipes.

7) Budget Smarts (without cutting corners)
Spend on the cartridge and valves—that’s what fails first.
Keep like-for-like hole patterns to avoid patching and re-drilling.
Pick durable finishes (chrome, PVD, or quality powder-coat) that actually last in a steamy bathroom.
