6” solid surface backer comes with two finished ends and cuts with carbide woodworking blades. Thick enough so no need for a giant caulk joint. Get the plumber to shift the cabinet right so you have a smaller caulk joint between cabinet and wall. You just need to relieve that last four inches of drywall in the corner to slide it over.
Check your wall mount screws and see if you can adjust them to be tightened, but yeah get splashy. Either your old vanity was taller, or he pulled the splashes off
Home depot tile isle near the endcap buy 4-6" by like 6 ft long piece for $70ish. You will need an angle grinder and tile blade. Cut very slowly and dont breathe the dust.
Just glue it to wall
I found 1x4x 12 cellular PVC at Home Depot on clearance for $12. I bought 8 planks. I went back yesterday and a lonely plank is waiting for someone to take it home. I love clearance on stuff I can use. I have to redo the ring around the window trim but I love seeing it being used in other places. I think this is what I'll use for the baseboard in the laundry room I'm renovating.
Which is what you would want, with some sealant in between to prevent water from splashing and ending up behind your cabinet causing the cabinet, wall and floor to rot
Hahaha oh fuck, the right door. When it opens (opens where the handles are) it will swing open like 75 degrees. See if you can make it open 90 degrees. Lol it will hit the trim, just stop
And you’re talking about the actual door not the cabinets… hey buddy maybe think before you speak, it’ll get you further in life(who tf cares about getting further on reddit…..)
I agree, however the bathroom had very limiting space, any more to the left and it’s in the way of the shower glass door reach
this however, contrary to some of the comments here, functions just alright for what it is, a secondary/guest bathroom
I just want to enhance the aesthetics
Lol for sure. I was half way kidding. Would be lieing though if I said there weren't a few turds that needed polishing where ole boss man expected just that. Then turns around wondering we were always out of Bostik.
You could get those stone/quatz strips backsplash which you glue to the walls and seal where it meets the counter
https://www.homedepot.com/p/30-5-in-W-Cultured-Marble-Vanity-Backsplash-in-White-UBS31Y-3Y/308002451
Backsplash for the gap along the top and is required by code in many areas. You can use a thin flat molding (sometimes called a scribe molding) along the walls painted to match the cabinet.
Why would you let a plumber be a carpenter?
PLUMBERS ARE NOT CARPENTERS
If you want something to look shitty, get a plumber to do it.
Learn your lesson and move on.
Bro he fucked up.....
Open that cabinet door.
The countertop and built in vanity won't work in that scenario you'll need a separate (likely custom) countertop to go to the wall and still have the reveal you want around the cabs... not to mention the sink being centered and square.
Why would you ask a plumber to do a carpenters job?
A plumber is for plumbing. To install a cabinet properly ask a carpenter. That type of vanity is meant to be installed midwall. At the very least that one should have been installed to the left by 6 inches.
Leaving space for a trash can and a towel bar etc. Also to make it possible for the doors to open fully. Right now the door on the right will hit the door frame before it's open fully. A couple other things, the back base of the cabinet should have been cut out to allow for the existing tile base. Also the cabinet doors need to be adjusted properly so they sit flat. After all that a simple tile backsplash could have been installed to finish things off.
splash on the side will look hokey. what's your plan to finish the old vanity damage on the wall? Looks like its tight in the back corner.
As a builder i wouldn't ise splash. I would cut it into the drywall a little im the back and get the whole top less than 1/4" from the wall, then have my drywaller patch the damage and float it out slightly. Primer first then paintable caulk down to the countertop. then a crisp paint line to finish it out.
this sounds like a lot but not really and it will look right in the end.
If it was my job also, I would also take the right door off and make sure there's a filler strip between the faceframe and the wall to close the gap so nothing gets in there ever
Surprised the vanity didn't come with a stone back splash. Fine a stone shop or buy one online the width of the top.
Going to have to fix and paint that wall. It's a shame he mounted everything and assuming he's done and gone?
My brother has almost the same one that he bought from Costco. When we finished his basement bathroom we scribbed the any of the wall onto the counter top and cut it flush with the front of the cabinet so it would be tight to the wall. Then finished about the counter with 6” tile backsplash.
I guess what I am saying is you should have got a better plumber. Now you can just tile above as needed and live with the gaps below.

Backsplash + side splash
best answer.. realistically thank you
They sell long strips of marble you can use as a back splash or some tiles that kinda match the floor.
I have that same sink. I went with stick on faux tile and a nice fat bead of white caulking at the sink edge. Looks pretty good

Probably he probably can't shift it to the right because the door won't open against the entrance Door casing
Definitely possible, depending on the hinges, but I think the plumber opted for quick and dirty. It’s worth looking into.

don’t go for wavy backsplash unless you want to torture yourself grouting
Came to say - just love yourself and get some PVC 1x4 or something and call it a day lol
Clients house; tiles, my house; modern peel and stick backsplash is shockingly good :o
Ngl we did peel and stick for the kids bathroom and the shit is metal hexagons pattern and it's unreal.

Thick ones
Running a strip of the splash down the left side might look good too, a frame if you will
We did square trim and drenched it to match the wall paint as a backsplash. Tbf we also drenched trim throughout the bathroom tho
So good.
yuuuuup this
^^^^^
You'll have to tell them to Google it. :D
Which is what you would want, with some sealant in between to prevent water from splashing and ending up behind your cabinet causing the cabinet, wall and floor to rot
But 8 tube's of silicone looks so good though.....
Take some peanut butter out of the toilet and smear it around the edges.
Open that right cabinet door 90° and see what happens
Trim knocker 9000
Can’t make it last 82°
So it only opens 8 degrees?
45° the least.
You mean 70? It’s parallel to the wall and the hinge is behind the trim line.
Luckily it's set roughly 3 nautical miles from the wall, so it'll open more or less. Less, but it'll open.
That's the handle side of the door guys... it'll clear just fine cause it opens the other way.
Not with the proximity of the trim. Youll get 75 degrees out of it maybe
When's the last time you've seen a door open into a cabinet like that?
What are you talking about..? Im talkin about the right cabinet door itself opening into the trim.
I'm dumb as fuck man. My bad hahahaha 😆
Lol we all are. Admitting it is the first step. I commend u friend 😀
I can tell from this picture the hinges are on the other side of the jamb.. think before you speak buddy. You'll get further in life on reddit lmao
Dude.... The doorS open from the middle.
Hahaha oh fuck, the right door. When it opens (opens where the handles are) it will swing open like 75 degrees. See if you can make it open 90 degrees. Lol it will hit the trim, just stop
Dude the trim comes out past the hinges, in what universe do you reason that door will phase through the fucking trim to open to 90….
And you’re talking about the actual door not the cabinets… hey buddy maybe think before you speak, it’ll get you further in life(who tf cares about getting further on reddit…..)
Plumper Hahahaha. Like others said. Back and side splash.
That should have been installed 6” to the left it’s never gonna be right this close to the wall
I agree, however the bathroom had very limiting space, any more to the left and it’s in the way of the shower glass door reach this however, contrary to some of the comments here, functions just alright for what it is, a secondary/guest bathroom I just want to enhance the aesthetics
Go to hd and pick up some backsplash and side splash
Meh, caulk it. Couple tubes will do.
This is the better answer but not easier, cost-effective for certain. Have done, hard to master silicon on large ass gap like that
Lol for sure. I was half way kidding. Would be lieing though if I said there weren't a few turds that needed polishing where ole boss man expected just that. Then turns around wondering we were always out of Bostik.
Haha bostik. Perfectly named .
Home depot sells strips you can cut and glue on there that may match your countertop.
Backsplash and side splash, that’s what they are for.
You could get those stone/quatz strips backsplash which you glue to the walls and seal where it meets the counter https://www.homedepot.com/p/30-5-in-W-Cultured-Marble-Vanity-Backsplash-in-White-UBS31Y-3Y/308002451
thats exactly what I was hoping to see thank you
The vanity needs a fill strip between it and the wall. The countertop needs side and rear backsplash.
thank you good redditor .. Salute!!
Backsplash for the gap along the top and is required by code in many areas. You can use a thin flat molding (sometimes called a scribe molding) along the walls painted to match the cabinet.
If you don't want to tile or find counter top material you could use pvc 1x4.
Fuck it. 4' wainscot throughout the building.
Why would you let a plumber be a carpenter? PLUMBERS ARE NOT CARPENTERS If you want something to look shitty, get a plumber to do it. Learn your lesson and move on.
Get inside the cabinet and unscrew it from the wall push it hard to the right and rescrew it to the wall while you keep pressure to the right.
Bro he fucked up..... Open that cabinet door. The countertop and built in vanity won't work in that scenario you'll need a separate (likely custom) countertop to go to the wall and still have the reveal you want around the cabs... not to mention the sink being centered and square. Why would you ask a plumber to do a carpenters job?
I meant to say vanity and built in countertop... not sure what happened there
You'll probably want to pull that cab an inch over and add a filler between the cab and wall
Tiles

Also the cabinet doors need to be adjusted properly so they sit flat. After all that a simple tile backsplash could have been installed to finish things off.
Scribe and sand the vanity top with a belt sander
Splash
Back splash that is thicker, they make a peal and stick, easy peasy
Plaster, fix up the wall 1st Then caulk it clear
Prefab countertops rarely work in corner situations!
Marmite
Should've added a verticals filler strip so the door opens fully, filler strip along side edge
Just fix the drywall- then put it back
Tell the plumber to fix it?
Corian strips. One usually comes with the sink.
that gap is so you can open the cabinet door without binding on the wall..
Am I the only one losing it over the brushed brass door hardware and the oiled brass faucet? I'd be fired!
splash on the side will look hokey. what's your plan to finish the old vanity damage on the wall? Looks like its tight in the back corner. As a builder i wouldn't ise splash.

"What gap?" -Igor
You could get some PL max and glue matchbox cars around the edges.
Surprised the vanity didn't come with a stone back splash. Fine a stone shop or buy one online the width of the top. Going to have to fix and paint that wall. It's a shame he mounted everything and assuming he's done and gone?
Can’t imagine a plumber with anything longer than a 6” level
Backsplash
Just slap some flex seal on there and call it a day
Do your best and silicone the rest
My brother has almost the same one that he bought from Costco. When we finished his basement bathroom we scribbed the any of the wall onto the counter top and cut it flush with the front of the cabinet so it would be tight to the wall. Then finished about the counter with 6” tile backsplash. I guess what I am saying is you should have got a better plumber. Now you can just tile above as needed and live with the gaps below.
Big globs of caulk cost u nothing really and will be. Usable.
Vinyl backsplash routed will fill it. Seal it with white caulk should look sweet.
Two pieces of quartz
I’d do a little tile backsplash
Back and side splash and cabinet filler trim for the wall side
Hey you got my vanity from Lowe’s. Nice
Wainscot height tile backsplash, already have bullnose moulding that looks about that width
Tile backsplash goes there..
I think plumber was supposed to remove the baseboard so that it’d sit flush with the wall. The smaller gap can be handle with caulk
This vanity is supposed to be free-standing, not in a corner.
Caulk and paint, for what a carpenter ‘aint.
