vanity unit help please

[paji]

Need help and ideas please...

See attached image of vanity section of my bath....

The wall of it was built from wood and then they tiled on top of it. We had water leakage weeks ago and due to water damage (has been fixed now) I have to replace this section of unit....

I am thinking two options:

- Buy a proper complete vanity unit
- Or buy cabinets only and try to fit the current sink etc (not sure if possible)


What would you suggest as I am limited on my budget?​

Also any recommended local/online shop to buy the complete vanity unit or just cabinets?
​

Your sink will be able to be re-used in a vanity unit.
Go to your local plumbing merchants, they usually all stock brochures for bathroom furniture. Most of them do a basic "contract" range of furniture which are reasonably priced. These can be worth fitting if on a budget.
On a plus note, a vanity unit would give you the storage that it looks like you could possibly use.

used stanley knife from the top so that part is fine...

however, working through the inside is bit difficult

do you think WD-40 will help to remove the glue?

I could be wrong (in fact i normally am) it looks like its been sealed/stuck with clear silicone. Get a sharp knife and keep cutting away at it until you've got a bit that's come unstuck, then as it loosens it'll make it easier to cut through the rest. Then eventually it'll loosen enough to pull it off. Obviously isolate and disconnect the tap first unless you want an indoor water feature.
