Bathroom Vanities
A vanity is the one piece of joinery in a bathroom that has to work around everything else in the room. The waste and the tap centres are already set, the tiles run to a course height, and the door or the shower screen usually decides how far it can come out from the wall. We build to the room in front of us rather than to a catalogue width, machine it at our Huskisson workshop, and fit after the tiling so the join is clean. Wall hung or floor standing, single or double, with the basin, the top and the storage worked out together.

A freestanding unit gives you a full height carcass, so the drawer bank runs to the floor instead of losing the bottom of the cabinet to a wall fixing. We build the base as a separate kick that can be scribed to the finished floor, run the end panel long where it meets a wall, and set the toe recess deep enough that you can stand square at the basin without catching it.
The vanity is rarely the only cabinetry a bathroom needs. Shaving cabinets, mirrored storage, a tall linen unit in the corner, a laundry cupboard sharing the same wall. Drawing them together means the finishes match, the handles line up and the room reads as one job rather than four separate purchases. All of it is machined at Huskisson from the same sheet run.
Hanging the vanity off the wall gives the floor back, makes cleaning easier and suits a small bathroom or an apartment. It also puts the load into the wall, so the fixing has to be right and the wall has to be able to take it. Being builder owned, we check that at the measure rather than on install day, and we seal the underside and the back edge properly, because on a wall hung unit those are the surfaces that see the moisture.
Ashbrook is owned and run by a qualified builder with 15+ years on site, so we plan the vanity with the room instead of ordering it against the room. We want the waste and tap centres, the tile course heights and the mirror or shaving cabinet settled while it is all still a drawing. On a Wollongong job that matters more than it would locally, because we are not going to be passing the door the following week to adjust something.
The wider Shoalhaven version of this work is on our bathroom vanities page, and our Wollongong joinery and cabinetry page covers kitchens, wardrobes and the rest of the house.
The vanity is set out around the plumbing and the tiling, not just the wall length.
