Handyman or licensed pro?

Swapping a vanity on existing water and drain lines is common handyman work in many states. Moving the drain or supply lines is plumbing work. Rules vary by state; see handyman license requirements by state.

How to quote it

  1. Confirm the new vanity's drain position matches the old one.
  2. Include new supply lines, shutoffs if needed, and a P-trap.
  3. Quote flooring repair as an option if the new vanity has a smaller footprint.
