In general, most people would not think to ask their plumber what kind of vanity they should choose for their bathroom – but it might be worthwhile to place a quick phone call to a trusted plumber that you know. Call John the plumber Hamilton to determine if any additional plumbing work will be required. Vanities are notoriously a not one-size-fits-all items – and very often the plumbing will need to be shifted, re routed, split or sealed off completely.
Homeowners may choose to go to a larger vanity with two sinks when they only had small single before, or the other end of the spectrum; a vanity to a smaller pedestal sink. What do both of these have in common? Your plumbing is going to need to be rerouted, often through the wall or through the floor and this can be a very large job. Most general contractors will require a qualified plumber in Hamilton to take care of this work and ensure avoid any headaches in the future.
From a design and visual perspective, a vanity needs to be in a spot which is not going to be a hindrance to you in the bathroom.
Think about who and where you will be standing at the vanity, where the door swings, location proximity to the other fixtures in the bathroom etc. If you are moving the vanity to an entirely different wall, you will be running additional drain pipes and water lines, which can cost a lot of money, not just in plumbing work, but in repair work to the floor and or walls. Always ensure that the vanity you opt for fits the size and shape of your bathroom, as well as the budget for your mini renovation!
Some vanities come with the ability to run electricity to them, and a qualified electrician will be required to wire this in. For these ones, a plumber is a necessity, to ensure that all the plumbing is to code, as Hamilton has very strict requirements.
Most vanities come with a side splash and backsplash to prevent any damage to the walls. We do recommend installing some kind of backsplash there if your vanity does not have one, especially for children’s and guest bathrooms.
Hamilton has many stores that you can purchase a great vanity from, for a variety of tastes and budgets. A qualified and licensed plumber is imperative to ensure that your vanity gets installed correctly and that all the plumbing is done right, the first time.
