General FAQ

How does the vanity builder work?

The vanity builder works by simply selecting the variations provided. Please select at least 1 option for each variable and the image will update accordingly to the design you selected. If you would like to redo the selection, please select ‘clear’ above the add to cart button and you may reselect. Please note this function does not work for clearance and limited items. If an item has a cross through it, this indicates the item is out of stock. Please contact us for an update on stock.

Where are your vanities made?

Most products on our website are manufactured by us or our joint venture partners in southern China. The remainder are sourced from other manufacturers via strategic alliances, after stringent quality testing to ensure a consistent high standard. Vanity By Design is 100% New Zealand-owned with strict quality control measures and supervision.

Our Smartstone tops are fabricated here in New Zealand.

Can you customize the vanities into different colours, sizes or shapes?

All our vanities are already specially designed to set sizes and shapes – we cannot modify design or size changes.

However, Vanity by Design is able to customise your cabinetry to any Dulux colour. Additional processing time and costs apply.

How to find out stock availability?

Our website will have ‘sold out’ or ‘coming soon’ on items not currently stocked. For lead times please contact us directly to check stock availability & restock time frame.

Warranty

What is covered under Vanity By Design warranty?

Many of the products available on this website are manufactured by Vanity By Design. However, in order to offer a comprehensive range of products, some goods are manufactured by other companies via strategic alliances. In such cases we offer the same warranties and guarantees of quality as on goods produced by Vanity by Design, so you can be confident that regardless of who manufactures the goods, Vanity by Design will honour any warranties that apply.

Vanity By Design offers a 5 year warranty on cabinets & tapware plus 12 month warranty on tops, basins & mirrors. A warranty claim must be notified to us in writing attached with photographic evidence within the applicable warranty period.

If you have purchased a 2pac paint cabinet and have come across an issue with your paint work, Vanity by Design will first provide a pot of touch up paint. If the touch up paint cannot resolve the issue, Vanity by Design will then look into replacing the cabinetry.

If you have collected your original order from a depot and now require a warranty replacement, your replacement order must also be delivered to a depot for pickup.

For further information about our warranties, please refer to our Product Supply Terms.

What happens if my goods are damaged in transit?
