### Modern Bathroom Storage Done Right
Floating vanities look amazing - **clean lines, modern, makes small bathrooms feel bigger.** But they only work if they're rock-solid. Nobody wants a £300 vanity crashing off the wall.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Floating vanities need SOLID wall fixings. This isn't a job for toggle bolts in plasterboard - you need studs or solid wall. Check your wall type before buying.

### Why Secure Fitting Matters
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong | |--------------|---------------| | Mounted to solid wall/studs - bombproof | Just plasterboard - disaster waiting | | Perfectly level - doors close properly | Wonky - water pools, doors catch | | Plumbing aligned and leak-free | Leaks, stress on pipes | | Looks professional and modern | Obviously struggling to stay up |

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Plasterboard walls:** If you've got stud walls, I need to find and mount into the studs. If they're not where the vanity needs to go, you might need to add blocking inside the wall or choose a different vanity style. Solid walls are much easier. **Plumbing alignment matters.** Floating vanities need pipes in specific positions. If your existing plumbing doesn't line up, pipes might need extending or moving - separate plumbing work.
Frequently Asked Questions about Floating vanity unit fitting in Ottery St Mary
How do you make floating vanities strong enough?
Heavy-duty wall fixings into solid wall or studs. Floating vanities look delicate but they're carrying sink weight plus storage, so fixings are critical. I use bracket systems rated for the weight and make absolutely sure they're into something solid.
Can you fit floating vanities to plasterboard walls?
Only if there are studs behind that I can screw into. Plasterboard alone won't hold a floating vanity safely - too much weight. If your bathroom is stud wall, I'll locate the studs and mount into those. Solid walls are easier and stronger.
Do you connect the plumbing too?
Basic connections yes - attach waste pipe, connect hot and cold feeds if they're already in the right place. If pipes need moving or new plumbing work, that's a separate plumbing job (I can quote separately or you might need a plumber).
Do I need to buy the vanity unit first?
Yes - buy the unit you want (IKEA, B&Q, wherever), then I'll fit it level and secure. Measure your space carefully - floating units need exact positioning to look right and work with existing plumbing.
How long before I can use it?
Once fitted and plumbing connected, it's usable immediately. I test for leaks before finishing. No waiting time unless there's been major plumbing work that needs settling.
