Why choose a custom vanity
Bathrooms are where standard sizes cause the most frustration. A prefab vanity may leave a gap beside the toilet, block a door, or offer one big cabinet under the sink with nowhere to keep small things. A custom vanity is built to the space, so it can run wall to wall, add a drawer bank, include a makeup station, or sit at a comfortable height.
Custom vanities also suit bathrooms with unusual layouts, older homes where walls are not square, and primary bathrooms where two people share the counter. Custom Cabinets Lakeland connects homeowners with independent local cabinetmakers and installers who measure, build and install the vanity. Call 863-372-9151 any time.
Planning your vanity
- Width. Single vanities are commonly 24 to 48 inches wide, and double vanities often 60 inches or more. Measure wall to wall and note doors, toilets and shower glass.
- Height. Many homeowners prefer a taller "comfort height" counter. Decide before the cabinet is built.
- Storage. Drawers beside the sink, a tower cabinet for linens, pull-outs for hair tools, and outlets inside drawers are all possible.
- Plumbing. Keeping the sink where the drain already is keeps cost down. Moving or adding a sink means plumbing work and often a permit.
- Floating or floor-standing. Wall-hung vanities open up the floor and look modern, but need solid wall blocking.
- Moisture. Bathrooms are humid. Ask about plywood boxes, sealed edges and finishes rated for bathrooms.
Tops, sinks and fixtures
The countertop often costs as much as the cabinet. Quartz, granite, marble, solid surface and cultured marble all appear on custom vanities, and undermount sinks need a stone or solid-surface top. Choose the sink and faucet before the top is cut, because the holes are drilled to fit.
How much does a custom vanity cost?
National figures from Angi give a sense of the range. Your price depends on size, materials, the top and any plumbing changes.
| Item | Typical national range |
|---|---|
| Vanity installation, including the vanity | $400 – $2,200 (average about $1,500) |
| Fully custom vanity projects | Up to about $4,000 |
| Custom cabinetry and countertop | $400 – $3,000, plus $200 – $1,000 to install |
| Removing the old vanity | $115 – $500 |
| Plumbing work | $400 – $2,200 |
| New faucet | $70 – $900 |

Countertop material is one of the largest cost drivers. Angi lists countertop materials from about $5 to $200 per square foot. Flooring patches, backsplash tile and wall repairs after removing an old vanity also add cost.
Permits and bathroom work
Cabinet work by itself is usually not the part that needs a permit. The City of Lakeland's Building Inspection FAQ lists replacing cabinets as work that does not need a permit, while remodels, alterations, plumbing and electrical work do. Hillsborough County's homeowner permit page likewise describes cabinet work and shelving as typically cosmetic. If your project moves a sink, adds outlets or lighting, or opens a wall, expect a permit and have your contractor confirm with the office that covers your address. Hillsborough County notes that a bathroom remodel involving plumbing would likely need a permit.
What to ask before you hire
- What is the cabinet box made of, and how is it sealed against moisture?
- Does the price include the top, sinks, faucet and backsplash?
- Who disconnects and reconnects the plumbing, and is that person licensed?
- What happens if the floor or wall is damaged under the old vanity?
- What warranty covers the cabinet and finish?
How a bathroom vanities project works
- Share your project by phone or the estimate form: your address, the room and what you want.
- A local cabinetmaker follows up to talk through the space, budget and timing.
- Measure and design. Final measurements are taken on site and a layout is drawn.
- Written estimate covering materials, finish, hardware, installation, schedule and warranty.
- Fabrication and installation once you approve the design and finish samples.
Nothing is booked when you call or send the form, and the decision to proceed is yours.

Bathroom Vanities questions
Can a custom vanity fit an odd-sized space?
Yes. That is the main reason to go custom. The cabinetmaker builds to your measurements, so the vanity can fill an alcove wall to wall or fit around a door swing.
Should I replace the vanity and countertop together?
Usually. Old tops rarely fit a new cabinet exactly, and replacing both lets you choose the sink, faucet and storage together.
Do I need a plumber to install a vanity?
Reconnecting an existing sink is often part of installation. Moving drains or supply lines is plumbing work that should be done by a licensed plumber and may need a permit.
How long does a custom vanity take?
Building it usually takes a few weeks after the design is approved, and the countertop is templated after the cabinet is installed. Ask for the full schedule, including the top.
