How much does a custom bathroom vanity cost in Australia?

Basic single vanity: $1,500–$2,500. Custom with stone top: $2,500–$5,000. Double vanity with full storage: $4,000–$8,000+.

What is the best wood for bathroom vanity cabinets in a humid climate?

Tasmanian oak, Blackbutt, and Spotted Gum all perform well when properly sealed. We use HMR MDF for carcasses and seal all timber surfaces with marine-grade polyurethane.

Can a cabinet maker build a bathroom vanity with a stone top?

Yes — we partner with Caesarstone, Smartstone, Essastone, and Quantum Quartz fabricators to template, cut, and install stone tops as part of the vanity package.

What is the difference between a wall-hung and freestanding vanity?

Wall-hung (floating): cantilevered from the wall, creates an open visual base, suits contemporary bathrooms. Freestanding: rests on the floor, often with a kick plate, traditional or Hamptons styles.

How long does a custom bathroom vanity take to build?

3–6 weeks from deposit. We coordinate with your plumber and tiler so the install slots into the renovation sequence.

What finish is most durable for a bathroom cabinet?

2pac polyurethane and Laminex HMR panels are the most durable; both resist humidity, washing, and impact. Avoid vinyl wrap in wet rooms — it can lift over time.

Do bathroom vanities come with basins included?

Basins are usually supplied by the plumber or homeowner (Caroma, Reece, Roca, Catalano). We design the vanity to fit the chosen basin and cut the benchtop to suit.

What size should a bathroom vanity be for a standard bathroom?

Standard single vanity: 750 mm or 900 mm wide. Double vanity: 1,500 mm or 1,800 mm. Depth: 460–550 mm. Height: 850–900 mm to top of bench.

Custom Bathroom Vanity Joinery — Handcrafted Vanities & Bathroom Cabinets

The bathroom vanity is the most demanding piece of joinery in any home. It lives in a permanently humid environment, it is used multiple times a day, and it is one of the first things buyers notice during an inspection. Getting it right — with the right materials, the right finish, and the right dimensions — makes a genuine difference to both daily life and property value.

At SteepWood we build custom bathroom vanity joinery for homes across Australia. Every vanity is made to measure: your width, your height, your configuration, your finish. Whether you want a floating Hamptons-style double vanity in white 2pac with brushed-brass tapware and a Smartstone top, or a warm timber vanity in Tasmanian oak with an undermount basin and integrated storage, we have the joinery skills and material knowledge to deliver it.

Our vanities are built to last in wet environments. We use moisture-resistant HMR MDF or solid hardwood as the base material — never standard particleboard — and seal all surfaces before fitting. Door finishes include polyurethane, 2pac, and premium Laminex HMR panels, all of which resist the repeated humidity cycles that degrade lower-quality vanities within a few years. Hinges and drawer systems are Blum throughout, with soft-close as standard.

Custom bathroom vanity pricing in Australia starts at around $1,500 for a basic single vanity, through to $3,000–$5,000 for a larger custom design with a stone top. Comparable to or less than many off-the-shelf premium vanities, but made exactly to your space and style.

We coordinate directly with your plumber and tiler to ensure the joinery sequence works with the broader bathroom renovation timeline. Typical lead time from deposit to installation: three to six weeks.
