Default Vanity Unit - Bathroom

Basically we have a bathroom basin that looks as such

In our bathroom - behind the long bit holding it up we have soem pipes and
the wall needs re-tiling

Another problem is that we have is that water splashed out and goes onto the
floor (our basin is near a wall but not quite touching - the otherside has
the bath near it so water does't overflow on that side much.

Now the guy we had aroudn for a quote to retile suggested a vanity unit. The
idea being that the wood would cover up the area that needs tiling (it would
fit flush into the corner/wall) and also if the sink is sort of inside the
unit then the water will not come out.

Great I thought

Only problem is I don't wnat to (Can;t afford) a fortune on an expensive
unit and i wnat to keep hold of the basin as I have just spent soem cash
putting new taps on it (and it looks nice/new)

So I wonder, is it hard to get a custom made unit? Or are there any decent
units that can take 'any' basins?

I imagine the actual rectangular box shape building of the unit won;t be
hard but getting a way of putting in the basin will be - how owudl you go
about doing that?

Also if we have the vanity unit, it removes the bit holding the basin up so
we can use for storage which is also a plus point!

Whats the best way aorund this?

Hope that makes sense!
