What replacing a bathroom vanity costs

Replacing a vanity means buying a cabinet and top, then paying for the work. HomeAdvisor prices removal of the old vanity separately, and describes the sink step as attaching the sink to the countertop, installing the faucet, connecting the plumbing lines and testing¹.

HomeAdvisor's 2026 guide gives $300 to $2,200 for bathroom vanity installation, with most homeowners spending about $1,500, and says the price moves with the vanity type, materials, size and any plumbing work¹. That range mixes product and work. The guide does not publish one labor-only number for swapping a ready-made vanity, so the labor table below lists the separate lines it does give.

Width. The size in a listing is usually the top. Simple Project's 30-inch freestanding cabinet measures 29 1/2 inches under a 30-inch top, and its 36-inch ADA cabinet 35 1/10 inches under a 36-inch top⁵⁶. Measure the wall space, and the door, trim or toilet the new vanity has to clear.

Depth and the space in front. The Simple Project tops here are 18 to 18 3/10 inches deep³⁵, IKEA's sets 21 to 21 3/4 inches¹⁴¹⁵ and Menards' Essex line 19 inches¹⁷. HomeAdvisor notes that building codes often call for at least 21 inches of free space in front of the sink and four inches from a bathtub¹; your local code is the one that applies.

Where the pipes come out. Note whether the drain leaves through the wall or the floor, and where the shut-off valves sit. Simple Project's 30-inch freestanding vanity has pre-drilled openings for a wall or floor drain, and its corner vanity an open back for either⁵⁸.

Faucet holes. Match the faucet to the top: Simple Project's tops have one hole or three holes on 4-inch centers depending on the model, and Menards' Essex top is pre-drilled for a 4-inch on-center faucet³⁵¹⁷.

Wall-mounted vanities. Simple Project's assembly sheet for its 24-inch floating vanity shows the cabinet held by two wall screws with anchors and gives no guidance on studs or load¹³. Ask whoever hangs it how it will be fixed to your wall.

Delivery. Shipping is free on all products, usually by FedEx Ground. Orders generally leave in 1 to 2 business days and arrive in 2 to 7 business days; the vanity pages say they ship in two separate packages. Delivery is to US addresses only, excluding remote areas such as Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Alaska, and PO, APO and FPO boxes³⁹. Report damage to support within 7 days of delivery, with photos⁹.

Returns. Request a return within 30 days of delivery; the item must be unused, undamaged and in its original packaging, and Simple Project has to approve it. Used items and items with installation marks are not eligible, and if you return for personal reasons you pay the return shipping and any restocking fee¹⁰. Check the fit before you install.

Warranty. One-year limited on materials and workmanship for bathroom vanities. It excludes damage from improper installation, and labor or other costs of removal or installation¹¹. The same page tells buyers to check with local building or plumbing contractors before installation so the work meets local regulations¹¹.

Installation. Not included. Simple Project points buyers to Taskrabbit; its page says Taskers are independent contractors and that prices typically start at $50 with a one-hour minimum, varying by Tasker¹².
