Types of Vanity Installation We Provide in Hobart
Wall-Hung Vanities: Modern Space-Saving Solutions
Wall-hung vanities mount directly to walls, making small Hobart bathrooms feel larger. Easier cleaning underneath, modern aesthetic, and no water pooling around bases. Requires proper wall reinforcement in weatherboard homes.
Freestanding Vanities: Traditional and Contemporary Styles
Freestanding vanities suit heritage homes perfectly, maintaining character while adding modern storage. Popular in Battery Point and South Hobart. Available in traditional timber or contemporary designs with excellent storage capacity.
Floating Timber Vanities: Popular in Hobart Renovations
Floating timber vanities combine wall-hung benefits with warm timber aesthetics. Polyurethane-sealed timber handles moisture well. Popular choice in West Hobart and Sandy Bay renovations for that sophisticated, natural look.
Custom Joinery Installations: Tailored to Your Space
Custom vanities solve awkward spaces common in 1960s-80s Hobart homes. We build units to fit your exact dimensions, working around pipes, windows, or odd corners that standard vanities can’t accommodate.
Choosing the Right Vanity for Your Hobart Bathroom
Size and Space Considerations: Standard vanities range from 600mm to 1200mm wide, but typical Hobart bathrooms in 1960s-80s homes measure just 2.2m x 1.8m. We help you maximise storage without cramping your space.
Moisture-Resistant Materials for Tasmania’s Climate: Polyurethane-sealed timber and engineered stone handle Hobart’s humidity well. We avoid MDF and chipboard in bathrooms – they swell and deteriorate from moisture exposure.
Style Matching: Heritage vs Modern Homes: Heritage homes in Battery Point and South Hobart suit traditional timber vanities or painted units that maintain period character. Modern renovations work with sleek wall-hung designs, floating units, and contemporary finishes.
Storage Solutions for Family Bathrooms: Family bathrooms need drawer space for toiletries, cleaning supplies, and kids’ bath toys. Compact corner units work brilliantly in space-challenged renovations where storage matters.
Installation Considerations for Older Hobart Homes
Working with Weatherboard and Period Construction: We locate studs properly and reinforce mounting areas – this prevents vanities pulling away from walls over time in homes built before modern construction standards.
Plumbing Relocation and Updates: Old galvanised pipes often need replacing during vanity installation. We update plumbing to modern copper or PEX while relocating supply and waste lines to match your new vanity layout.
Addressing Uneven Floors and Walls: Uneven floors are common in heritage properties. We use shims and adjustable feet to level freestanding vanities perfectly, or adjust wall-hung units to compensate for sloping floors.
Maintaining Heritage Character While Modernising: We install period-appropriate vanity styles, work within council heritage guidelines, and preserve existing features while upgrading plumbing and waterproofing behind the scenes.
Our Professional Vanity Installation Process
Initial Assessment and Measurements
We start with a thorough site assessment, including wall type identification – weatherboard, brick, or plaster – because each needs different mounting approaches. We check existing plumbing locations against your new vanity requirements and measure everything twice to avoid surprises on installation day.
Removal and Wall Preparation
Old vanity removal includes disconnecting plumbing and careful extraction to avoid damaging walls or floors. We check for asbestos in pre-1990 Hobart homes and handle it properly if found. Wall preparation includes stud reinforcement in older homes where mounting points need extra support, plus a waterproofing application in areas that'll sit behind the vanity.
Secure Mounting and Plumbing Integration
Precise levelling comes first, even on the uneven floors common in heritage properties – we use shims and adjustments to get everything perfectly level. Licensed plumbers connect water supply lines and waste pipes, install all tapware, and integrate the basin. We mount the vanity securely to wall studs with appropriate hardware for your wall type.
Final Sealing and Quality Checks
Quality silicone sealing goes around all basin edges, benchtop joins, and wall connections to create a waterproof barrier. We test all plumbing connections for leaks, run water through taps and waste to check drainage, fit all hardware, including soft-close drawers, and clean up completely before we leave.
Why Choose Professional Vanity Installation in Hobart
Licensed Plumbing Work Included: All water connections are handled by licensed plumbers who follow current plumbing codes and standards.
Secure Mounting Guaranteed: We use quality mounting hardware suited to your specific wall type – whether weatherboard, brick, or plaster.
Quality Installation Standards: Proper waterproofing prevents mould growth in Tasmania’s humid conditions. We seal all joints with quality silicone, test every connection for leaks, and install hardware so drawers glide smoothly for years.
Local Hobart Expertise: We understand Hobart home construction from 1920s cottages through to 1990s builds. Our team knows local suppliers and has relationships throughout the local trade community for smooth project completion.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vanity Installation
Most vanity installations take us one full day from start to finish. We arrive in the morning, remove your old vanity, prep the walls, install the new unit with all plumbing connections, and clean up before we leave. Complicated jobs in heritage homes or installations requiring extensive plumbing relocation might stretch to two days. We’ll give you an accurate timeline when we assess your specific situation.
Absolutely. We install vanities in weatherboard homes all the time across Hobart. The key is proper wall reinforcement – we install backing between the studs or use plywood sheets to create a solid mounting surface. Wall-hung vanities need extra support in weatherboard construction, but we’ve got the experience to do it right so your vanity stays securely mounted for decades.
No, our team includes licensed plumbers who handle all water supply and waste connections as part of the installation. You get one team, one quote, and one point of contact. We disconnect your old vanity’s plumbing, update pipes if needed, and connect everything to your new vanity with full leak testing before we finish.
We remove it completely and take it away for disposal. You don’t have to worry about hauling it to the tip or finding someone to take it. Removal is included in our service – we disconnect the plumbing, carefully extract the old unit to minimise wall damage, and dispose of everything responsibly.
Wall-hung vanities are brilliant for small Hobart bathrooms. They create the illusion of more space because you can see the floor underneath, and they make cleaning much easier. We’ve installed them in bathrooms as small as 2m x 1.8m with great results. The key is proper wall reinforcement, which we always include in the installation.
If we discover issues like rotted flooring, damaged walls, or plumbing problems during removal, we stop and discuss options with you before proceeding. We’ll explain what we’ve found, what needs fixing, and provide pricing for the additional work. No surprises, no proceeding without your approval. Most issues we can fix on the spot if you want to go ahead.
