Vanity installation labor cost
If you’ve already bought your vanity, here’s what installation alone typically costs, including removing the old vanity and reconnecting the existing plumbing:
| Installation | Contractor or plumber | Handyman or store service |
|---|---|---|
| Single vanity | $350 – $750 | $300 – $600 |
| Double vanity | $450 – $950 | $350 – $750 |
| Floating single vanity | $500 – $1,050 | Varies |
| Custom double vanity | $600 – $1,350 | Usually not offered |
Labor covers shutting off the water, disconnecting and removing the old vanity, setting and leveling the new cabinet, attaching the top, installing the faucet and drain, reconnecting the supply lines, and caulking. Expect to pay more for:
- New shutoff valves or drain adjustments: about $150 to $400.
- Moving the drain or supply lines: about $500 to $1,500, plus wall repair.
- A floating vanity: about $150 to $300 more for blocking inside the wall.
- A new light or outlet: about $200 to $600 from an electrician.
- A tile backsplash: about $200 to $600.
- Wall repair and paint where the old vanity stood: about $100 to $400.
Store installation vs. handyman vs. plumber
- Big-box store installation: Home Depot and Lowe’s offer installation in many areas through local installers. It’s convenient when you buy the vanity there, but compare the quote with local options.
- Handyman: Often the most affordable choice for a like-for-like swap where the plumbing doesn’t change.
- Plumber: The right call if the shutoffs are old, the drain needs to move, or your area requires a permit for plumbing work.
- General contractor: Makes sense when the vanity is part of a bigger remodel. See our bathroom remodel cost calculator.
Installing a vanity yourself
Replacing a vanity with the same plumbing layout is one of the more approachable bathroom DIY projects. Doing it yourself brings a 36-inch stock vanity with a prefab top down to about $500 to $1,100 in materials, and a ready-to-assemble 30-inch vanity can cost even less.
- Measure the space, the height of the drain, and the location of the supply lines before you buy.
- Shut off the water, disconnect the supply lines and drain, and remove the old vanity and top.
- Check the shutoff valves. Replace them if they’re stiff, corroded, or leaking.
- Set the new cabinet, level it with shims, and screw it to the wall studs.
- Install the faucet and drain on the top before setting it, then attach the top to the cabinet.
- Reconnect the drain and supply lines, check for leaks, and caulk the top to the wall.
Call a pro if the drain needs to move, the wall behind the old vanity has water damage, or you’re installing a heavy stone top or floating vanity.
Ways to save on a new vanity
- Match your existing plumbing. Choose a vanity that fits the current drain and supply locations.
- Buy a vanity with the top included. Combo units with a prefab top and sink usually cost less than buying a cabinet and stone top separately.
- Consider a remnant stone top for a single vanity.
- Keep your faucet if it’s in good shape, or buy a standard model.
- Bundle the job with other plumbing work, like a toilet replacement, to save on trip charges.
- Get two or three quotes that list removal, disposal, and any plumbing changes.

You’ll need to shut off the water, disconnect and reconnect the drain and supply lines, level and secure the cabinet, and caulk the top. Doing it yourself saves about $350 to $750 in labor. Hire a plumber if the drain or supply lines need to move.

Do I need a plumber to replace a vanity?
