Replacing vanity with wall the wall tile

9 years ago

We expected there to be tile under the old vanity, instead it was cut just inside the outline of the old vanity. The new vanity did not have the depth to cover the gap. We went ahead and put it in anyways. Now we are wondering if we should back up and buy a new vanity? We looked into that and new vanities that cover this size are twice the money....Somehow cover the gaps? Or back out of the whole thing and demo the entire tile job? I don't know how much money I want to spend on a $140,000 condominium that we don't intend to stay in. This is a fix up for resale.

Gaps on the floor and side where tile was cut

Get the vanity that fits even if it is more money. You'd be saving yourself a tile job. This needs to look nice for the market. That outlet might not be code either. I think they have to be GFCI (ground fault circuit interruper).

An alternative would be finding tiles that match (they appear to be white 6x6 glossy?) and tinkering with grout to match.

Did you save the tile from the counter, as it appears to be the same? If so, I'd try to salvage enough to cover the gaps. Or what about seeing if you can salvage some from under the vanity and cut to fit? Maybe they would break, but perhaps you can pop off a few. If it doesn't work, you aren't out anything. If it doesn't work, then think about your other options.
