Kloof is full of spacious, well-established homes, and many of their bathrooms still have vanities from an earlier era: older units or past installations that no longer suit modern living. A custom vanity here is not about luxury. It is practical, well-built storage that fits your bathroom properly and survives KwaZulu-Natal humidity.
Your bathroom is one of the few rooms you use every single day, and poor storage shows: bottles cluttering the basin, nowhere for towels, a vanity falling apart from moisture damage. We build custom bathroom vanity cupboards for Kloof homes from moisture-resistant materials, sized to your exact bathroom, and finished to last. See our wider bathroom vanities and storage range for more.

Classic units with maximum under-basin storage, ideal for family bathrooms.
Tallboys & Towers
Floor-to-ceiling storage that uses wasted vertical space for towels, toiletries and linen.
Mirror Cabinets
Custom mirrored cabinets with concealed internal storage and organised shelves.
Vanity Facelifts
Carcass still solid? Replace just the doors, drawer fronts, handles and countertop.
Wall-Hung or Floor-Standing?
This is the question we get asked most on bathroom jobs. The honest breakdown, from 25 years of bathrooms across Durban:
Wall-Hung: Best for Smaller Bathrooms
- No floor contact, so it is easy to mop underneath
- Visually opens up a small bathroom
- Sleek, contemporary look
- Needs solid walls and proper anchoring
- Less under-basin storage than floor-standing
The usual choice for en-suites and smaller bathrooms.
Floor-Standing: Best for Family Bathrooms
- More under-basin storage: drawers, doors and shelves
- More stable and easier to install on any wall type
- Suits modern and traditional styles
- Works well in larger bathrooms
- Floor contact means more cleaning around the base
The better choice for main bathrooms where capacity matters more than the floating look.
We will assess your bathroom honestly during the free consultation and recommend based on your walls, space and how you use the room.
Vanity Styles We Build
The style of your vanity sets the tone for the whole bathroom:
What We Build Into Every Vanity
Waterproof backing and moisture-resistant board throughout, essential in a humid bathroom.
German-engineered on every door and drawer: no slamming and no wear.
High-pressure banding on every exposed edge, where cheap vanities fail first.
Under-cabinet or mirror LED strips for task lighting and atmosphere.
Divided drawers for toiletries, makeup and accessories.
Internal outlets for hairdryers and shavers, keeping the countertop clear.
Choosing the Right Material
Bathrooms are the most demanding environment for cabinetry in your home. Our superwood vs melamine vs melaply guide covers the boards in detail.
Custom Vanity vs Retail Units
Retail vanities look attractive in the showroom. Here is what most homeowners learn after a few years:
| Factor | Retail Vanity | Custom Vanity |
|---|---|---|
| Lifespan | 3-7 years before swelling and warping | 15-25+ years with proper care Best |
| Fit | Standard sizes, with gaps around the basin | Built to your basin and bathroom dimensions |
| Materials | Chipboard that swells in humidity | Moisture-resistant board, sealed edges, waterproof backing |
| Hardware | Cheap hinges that corrode in steam | Corrosion-resistant soft-close hardware |
| Property value | No impact, and may detract if visibly cheap | Adds genuine value to your home |

Bathroom Vanity FAQs: Kloof
How much does a custom bathroom vanity cost in Kloof?
Pricing depends on the size, wall-hung or floor-standing design, materials, finish and extras such as lighting or power points. We offer a free consultation in Kloof, measure up and send an itemised quote with no hidden costs. WhatsApp Sanjeev on 073 388 9591 and we reply within 8 hours.
What materials are best for a bathroom vanity in Kloof?
Bathrooms are the toughest place for cabinetry, so we use moisture-resistant MDF or board with sealed edges and waterproof backing. Vinyl wrap suits a mid-range wood-grain look, and sealed solid wood suits a premium finish. Our superwood vs melamine vs melaply guide compares the boards.
Should I choose a wall-hung or floor-standing vanity?
Wall-hung vanities suit smaller bathrooms and en-suites: they open up the room and are easy to mop under, but need solid walls and offer less storage. Floor-standing vanities give more under-basin storage and suit family bathrooms. We recommend one after seeing your walls and space.
How long does a vanity installation take in Kloof?
From consultation to completed installation, our typical turnaround is about 2 weeks. The vanity is built in our Durban workshop, so installation at your home is quick and tidy.
Do you install bathroom vanities in Kloof and surrounding areas?
Yes. We install in Kloof, Gillitts, Everton and Forest Hills, and across the wider Durban metro. WhatsApp us to confirm we cover your address.
How long will a custom vanity last compared with a retail one?
Retail vanities often swell and deteriorate within 3-7 years in KZN bathroom humidity. A custom vanity built from moisture-resistant board with sealed edges and corrosion-resistant hardware can last 15-25+ years with proper care.
Can you make a vanity to fit my exact basin and bathroom?
Yes. Every vanity is built to your basin and your bathroom's exact dimensions, so there are no awkward gaps or wasted space around the basin.
Can you build bathroom tallboys and storage towers?
Yes. Floor-to-ceiling towers use the vertical space most bathrooms waste, keeping towels, toiletries and linen organised and out of sight. See our bathroom vanities and storage page.
Do you make mirror cabinets?
Yes. We build custom mirrored cabinets with concealed internal shelving, with a full-length or basin mirror on the outside and organised storage on the inside.
Can you update my existing vanity instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. If the carcass is still solid, we can replace just the doors, drawer fronts, handles and countertop for a big transformation at a fraction of the cost.
What styles and colours can I choose?
Anything from modern minimalist handle-less fronts and classic shaker doors to natural timber looks, bold dark colours, bright whites and high-gloss lacquer. We help you match the style to your tiles and fittings.
Can you add LED lighting and power points?
Yes. Under-cabinet or mirror LED strips and internal power points for hairdryers, shavers and electric toothbrushes can be built in, keeping the countertop clear.
What hardware do you use in bathrooms?
German-engineered soft-close hinges and runners, chosen to cope with bathroom steam. Hardware that corrodes is one of the first things to fail in cheap vanities.
What warranty do you give on bathroom vanities?
We offer a 5-year warranty on materials and craftsmanship for bathroom installations. If something goes wrong with the materials or installation in that period, we fix it.
Can you match my vanity to my kitchen and bedrooms?
Yes. We build kitchen cupboards in Kloof and bedroom cupboards in Kloof in matching materials, so the whole home feels designed together.
