A shaving cabinet isn't just bathroom storage — it anchors the entire look of your bathroom. Get the size, depth, or finish wrong, and no amount of nice tiles will save it. Get it right, and the whole room clicks into place.
Come into the showroom and see your options in context, not on a website, not in a flat-pack box, but installed in a real bathroom setting so you can judge proportion, finish, and light interaction with your own eyes.
Why Choosing a Shaving Cabinet Is Harder Than It Looks
You'd think it's a simple decision. Box on the wall. Holds your stuff. Done. But if you've spent any time in renovation forums or Facebook groups, you already know the reality.
The wrong depth makes the door swing into someone brushing their teeth. The wrong width throws off the symmetry above the vanity. The wrong backing — plywood in a high-humidity coastal bathroom — warps inside three years.
In Mandurah's climate specifically, the combination of summer heat, high humidity, and salt-laden air from the estuary and coastline creates conditions that standard off-the-shelf cabinets aren't always built for.
A cabinet that performs fine in an inland Mandurah bathroom can blister, delaminate, or fog over within a couple of seasons here.
The question isn't just "which one looks good".
It's "which one will still look good in ten years".
What We Stock and Why We Stock It
Mandurah Tile & Bathrooms carries a curated range of shaving cabinets selected specifically for performance in coastal and high-humidity environments — what we call The Coastal Spec.
Every product in the showroom has been assessed not just on aesthetics, but on how it behaves in a West Australian bathroom over time.
Surface-Mounted Shaving Cabinets
Surface-mounted cabinets are the most straightforward to install — they sit proud of the wall with no cutting into the stud cavity.
They're the right call when your wall has insulation, plumbing, or electrical runs that make recessing impractical.
Our range includes slimline profiles that don't dominate smaller bathrooms, and wider double-door formats suited to master ensuites or family bathrooms where storage is the priority.
Illuminated Mirror Cabinets
Illuminated shaving cabinets — also called LED mirror cabinets — combine task lighting, mirror, and storage in a single unit.
For ensuite bathrooms or powder rooms without a ceiling-mounted vanity light directly above, they solve a real functional problem, not just an aesthetic one. Mandurah Tile & Bathrooms stocks illuminated models with warm white, cool white, and colour-adjustable LED options.
Many feature integrated demister pads — a practical necessity in our humid summers.
Shaving Cabinet Comparison: Which Type Is Right for Your Bathroom?

Note on pricing: These ranges reflect typical retail pricing in the WA market as of 2024–2025. Installation costs are separate and vary depending on wall type, electrical requirements (for illuminated models), and whether recessing is required.
How to Choose the Right Size: A Practical Guide
Getting the sizing right before you purchase is non-negotiable. A cabinet that looks fine in a showroom photo can look wrong — too small, too dominating, or visually unbalanced — once it's on your wall.
Width
A single-basin vanity suits a cabinet between 450 mm and 600 mm wide. A double-basin vanity can handle 900 mm to 1,200 mm.
If in doubt, err toward slightly narrower — a proportionally tight cabinet looks more deliberate than one that overhangs.
Height
Standard shaving cabinet heights run from 600 mm to 900 mm. Consider who uses the bathroom — a cabinet hung for one person's eye level may not work for another.
Adjustable shelf configurations help accommodate different users.
Projection Depth
Surface-mounted cabinets typically project 100–150 mm from the wall.
In a narrow bathroom, check the door's swing path against towel rails, toilets, or adjacent walls before ordering.
Why Mandurah Tile & Bathrooms
Not a website. Not a warehouse.
There's no shortage of places to buy a shaving cabinet online — you can have one on a flatbed truck from an eastern-states warehouse within 48 hours. We know that, and we don't pretend otherwise. Here's what that transaction doesn't give you:
- Someone who's seen what happens to cheap cabinets in Mandurah bathrooms after three summers.
- Someone who can hold two door samples against your tile selection under the same lighting you'll have at home.
- Someone who'll tell you honestly that the cabinet you've fallen for is the wrong depth for your wall cavity — before you've paid for it and your tiler has booked in.
Mandurah Tile & Bathrooms is the only showroom in the Peel region combining 25 years of coastal renovation knowledge with a hands-on guided selection experience. Our staff don't work from a catalogue — they work from experience: what holds up, what doesn't, and what looks right in a finished room.
We also stock a full range of bathroom accessories to coordinate with your cabinet — so you're not matching finishes from three suppliers and hoping for the best:
