Bathroom Vanity Units?

We're in the process of refurbishing our downstairs toilet, and we've got a 12" Corian bowl for the sink. This is a bowl that sits on a worktop, and I cannot for the life of me, find a vanity unit to suit.

Something like this:

It needs to have a worktop on it so I can mount the bowl, rather than having a sink built in.

    The general way you put bowls like the one in the second picture is to buy a cabinet of your choice and buy a worktop of your choice. Many don't come with the worktop because that way you have a greater choice of options between the two. For example these http://www.roperrhodes.co.uk/products/bathroom-furniture/cloakrooms-en-suites/ are all shown with full cover basins but there is absolutely no reason why you can't put a worktop on and then mount the basin on top. The strata worktops from the same company are nice - they are solid so if you cut them you can just polish them up again on the cut edges.


    We use these guys http://www.totalbathrooms.co.uk/ - well worth giving them a ring for advice as their prices are usually as good as you'll get elsewhere.

    Victoria plumb do some vanity units with a top the same colour as the carcass. You simply discard the top if you want to fit an inset basin.

    Thanks both. Im not sure why I didn't think about just buying a vanity unit and throwing the top away...

    Don't throw away the top - sell it - or at least Freecycle it.

    The tops are normally 15mm mdf coated in the same colour melamine as the rest of the unit. Value :£0.00 .
