What goes wrong with bathroom vanities if you wait
Swollen cabinet boxes and doors
Particle board vanities soak up water from small leaks and splashes, then swell, peel and fall apart.
Leaks under the sink
Loose drain fittings and old supply lines drip into the cabinet, damaging the base and the floor beneath.
Slow or smelly drains
Hair and soap build up in pop-up drains and traps, causing slow draining and odours.
Not enough storage
Old pedestal sinks and small vanities leave no space for everyday items.
Common jobs we take on
- Vanity removal and replacement
- Bathroom faucet installation
- Sink drain and P-trap replacement
- Vanity top and backsplash sealing
How Lower Mainland weather affects bathroom vanities
In the Lower Mainland's damp climate, bathroom cabinets live in steamy rooms for much of the year. Vanities made with moisture resistant materials and properly sealed tops last much longer.
Many Tri-Cities homes still have original builder vanities from decades ago. Replacing them is a great value upgrade before listing or as part of a simple bathroom refresh.
Warning signs to watch for
- Swollen, peeling or warped cabinet doors and base
- Water stains or a musty smell inside the cabinet
- A wobbly sink or loose countertop
- A slow or gurgling drain
- Not enough storage space
Maintenance tips
- Wipe up water around the sink and backsplash
- Check under the sink for drips every few months
- Clean pop-up drains to keep hair from building up
- Keep the caulk line at the backsplash sealed
- Run the bathroom fan to keep humidity down
How G2 Home Services handles bathroom vanities
We remove the old vanity, check the wall and floor for damage, then install the new vanity level and secured to the wall. The top is sealed, the faucet and drain are installed, and supply lines are replaced with braided stainless lines. We test for leaks, caulk the backsplash and haul away the old unit.
Every job is backed by our written promise: a locked-in price before we start, we redo anything you are not happy with, and a one-year workmanship guarantee.

Bathroom Vanity & Faucet Installation: frequently asked questions
Can you install a vanity I bought from a store?
Yes. We install store bought and custom vanities, including double sink units.

Usually, with small adjustments to the trap and supply lines. If the drain or water lines need to move inside the wall, we let you know if a licensed plumber is required.
How long does vanity installation take?
Most vanity replacements are done in a few hours to a day.
