Stone Bathroom Vanity Tops (and Saving With Remnants)
Published •5 min read
Bathroom vanities need far less stone than kitchens, which makes premium materials more affordable. Fixr puts granite bathroom countertops at roughly $250 to $2,500 for material, and remnants, leftover pieces from larger jobs, can bring the cost down further. Quartz is a particularly practical choice for bathrooms because it's non-porous and doesn't need sealing.
Choosing a Stone for the Bathroom
| Material | Strengths | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Quartz | Non-porous; no sealing; consistent color | Keep hot styling tools off the surface |
| Granite | Durable; huge color range | Sealing depends on the stone |
| Quartzite | Very hard; natural veining | Porous types need sealing |
| Marble | Classic look | Etches from acidic products; needs regular sealing |
What Vanity Tops Cost
- Granite bathroom countertops: about $250 to $2,500 for material, according to Fixr, depending on size and stone.
- Quartzite bathroom countertops: about $480 to $2,640 installed for an average bathroom, according to HomeAdvisor.
- Ready-made granite vanity tops: Fixr notes some come with the sink attached and pre-drilled for faucets; they're thinner, cost less and are easier to install.
- Custom tops: larger vanities, double sinks or special shapes are templated and cut to measure like a kitchen countertop.
Saving With Remnants
Remnants are leftover pieces from larger countertop jobs. Fixr lists closeout and remnant granite at about $30 to $40 per square foot and notes they're a good option when you don't need a full slab, such as for a bathroom vanity, sometimes even for exotic stones. Selection depends on what's available, so be flexible on color and measure before you shop.
