These rows are our estimate. We took the typical national range and adjusted it for local labor costs, which run about 20 percent lower in the cheapest states and about 30 percent higher in the dearest ones. In big cities, moving pipes may need a licensed plumber and a permit.
Keep the plumbing where it is
The cheapest vanity job is a like for like swap: the new sink drains and water lines sit where the old ones did. ThePricer notes that moving the drain or supply lines adds $400 to $2,000, and that in cities such as New York and Los Angeles only a licensed plumber can file for that work.
Bob Vila, citing Angi, notes that the countertop is often the biggest expense on a custom vanity, with materials running from $5 to $135 per square foot. A premade vanity with an attached top is the budget choice.
Wall hung vanities look clean but need solid blocking inside the wall, which adds labor.
