Bathroom Vanity Replacement: Sizes, Materials, and Budget

How to choose a replacement vanity that fits the plumbing, suits the room, and holds up to humidity.

Measure Before You Shop

Check door and drawer swing clearance, especially in tight powder rooms.

Materials That Handle Humidity

Solid wood and plywood hold up better than particle board near water. Quartz and solid surface tops resist stains and are easy to wipe clean.

A properly sealed edge where the top meets the wall prevents slow leaks and swelling.

Budget Ranges

Stock vanities are the budget route, while semi custom and custom units cost more but fit odd spaces. Installation, faucet, and plumbing fixes are separate from the cabinet price.
