Custom Bathroom Vanities in Toronto, Built Around Your Plumbing
A bathroom vanity has to fit around your plumbing, leave room to move and survive daily splashes. Price a vanity built for your bathroom before booking a free measuring visit.
Your estimate includes the vanity, countertop, installation and removal of the old vanity if you choose it. A licensed plumber you hire disconnects and reconnects the sink, so get their price too.
A 4 ft custom plywood vanity with a quartz top costs about $3,600 to $6,400 CAD installed at October 2026 prices. Wood veneer doors, a stone top and a linen tower move the price toward the high end.
What You Get From a Vanity Made to Fit
A store-bought vanity comes in set sizes, so you work around it. A vanity made to your measurements works around you.
With a custom vanity, you get:
- A cabinet that fills your wall, with no gap for dust and dropped items
- Drawers built around your pipes, so you keep the storage under the sink
- Doors and drawers that open fully without hitting the toilet, tub or door
- A set place for towels, toiletries and cleaning supplies
You gain the most in an older Toronto home, a compact condo bathroom or a room with off-centre plumbing, where a store-bought size rarely fits.
Can I Replace Just the Vanity?
Often, yes. A vanity-only replacement works when the new vanity fits the same space and your sink sits over the drain and water lines you already have.
Your existing plumbing sets much of the plumbing cost. When the new sink lines up with it, your plumber disconnects and reconnects the sink and faucet. Moving the drain or adding a second sink means opening the wall or floor, which adds plumbing work and repairs.
A floating vanity hangs on the wall, so its drain and water lines come out of that wall. Pipes should not run up an outside wall, where they can freeze in winter. On an outside wall, your plumber may need to move the lines to an inside wall, or a floor-standing vanity can take its plumbing up through the floor. Book your measuring visit after any new pipes are in place, so your vanity is built to fit them.

Removing the old vanity can uncover work the estimate leaves out. A smaller or floating vanity can expose missing tile, unpainted wall or old anchor holes. A slow leak under the old sink can leave soft subfloor, damaged drywall or mould that a licensed contractor you choose repairs before the new vanity goes in.
Your cabinet maker checks how your plumbing, wall and floor suit the new vanity at your free measuring visit.

Pick the Vanity Type That Suits How You Use Your Bathroom
- Floating: Your floor stays open underneath, so a small bathroom feels bigger and is quick to mop. Your cabinet maker checks that your wall can carry it and that its plumbing can run inside the wall.
- Floor-standing: You get the most drawer and cupboard space for towels and supplies.
- Double-sink: Two people get ready at the same time without waiting. Two sinks need a wider vanity, and your cabinet maker confirms both fit with useful drawer space.
- Compact: You add storage to a small bathroom and keep room to walk.

Moisture-Resistant Is Not Waterproof
Most vanity damage starts under the sink, where a slow drip soaks the cabinet floor for months before anyone sees it.
Plywood, sealed edges and a laminate or painted finish make a vanity moisture-resistant, so it handles daily splashes and shower steam. Moisture-resistant is not waterproof. Standing water from a leak can still swell, stain or loosen any wood-based cabinet.
Run the fan when you shower, wipe up splashes, and check under the sink for drips a few times a year. Compare bathroom cabinet materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a custom bathroom vanity cost in Toronto?
A 4 ft custom plywood vanity with a quartz top costs about $3,600 to $6,400 CAD installed at October 2026 prices. Plumbing, electrical work and repairs to the surrounding room are separate. Price your vanity for a price based on your own size and choices.
Is the price on the estimator what I pay?
Not exactly. Your final quote sets your price. Your estimate includes installation and is in Canadian dollars. At your home visit, your cabinet maker measures your bathroom, and your final quote prices the design and materials you choose. See how your quote becomes your final quote.
Will my price go up after I order?
No. Your final quote sets your price and states the date it holds until. It changes only if you sign a written change order first. See what can change your price.
Can you make a vanity to an exact width?
Yes, to the inch. Your cabinet maker builds each vanity to the width measured at your home visit. Your estimate covers widths from 2 ft to 10 ft.
Are floating vanities suitable for small bathrooms?
Yes, if your wall can carry it. A floating vanity makes the floor easier to clean and can make a small room feel larger. Your cabinet maker checks that your wall can carry the cabinet, countertop and contents before confirming the design. When it needs reinforcing, a licensed contractor you choose does that work before installation. Its pipes come out of the wall behind it. On an outside wall, your plumber may need to move them so they don't freeze, at your cost.
What is the best material for a bathroom vanity?
Plywood. It handles a drip better than particle board or MDF. Its edges still need sealing, and no wood vanity is waterproof. Particle board and MDF cost less and suit a well-ventilated room where the vanity stays dry.
How much does a quartz vanity top cost?
A quartz vanity top costs about $150 per linear foot installed, from $60 in laminate up to $275 in marble or quartzite. You can choose yours from the samples at your cabinet maker's showroom. Select it in your estimate, and compare countertop materials.
Is my bathroom vanity installed for me?
Yes. Your cabinet maker builds and installs your vanity, usually in about 1 day, and backs it with a 5-year written warranty. A licensed plumber you choose connects the sink and faucet.
How long will my bathroom be out of use?
About 1 day, plus a day for a stone top. Your cabinet maker removes the old vanity and installs the new one in a day. A stone top usually goes in on a separate day, once the vanity is fastened and measured for it. Your sink stays out of use until your plumber reconnects it, so book them for the day the countertop goes in or the day after.
