The most durable material for your bathroom vanity top will typically be a form of natural stone. 

Marble has been a popular, timeless choice for a reason—it’s easy to keep clean and withstands constant splashing from water, toothpaste, and mouthwash. Cultured marble reflects these qualities without the risk of sticker shock.

Granite and quartz are other popular options, in part because their durability is in a class of their own, along with offering numerous color options. Should you be interested in a granite or quartz bathroom vanity top, we can special order these products for your next project.

When you buy a high-quality bathroom vanity top made of durable materials and maintain it properly, it can last for decades, if not longer. Some of the best granite countertops can last over 100 years in the right conditions, while even materials like concrete, quartz, acrylic, or cultured marble can last over 50 years.

No matter which type of material you choose for your bathroom vanity top, the key to ensuring it lasts for decades is to clean it regularly, protect it from heat, and provide necessary treatments according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Suppose you’ve already picked out a new bathroom vanity top, but you need to have the old one removed. Most city sanitation departments won’t accept these with regular trash pickup. That’s why it pays to work with an installer who can dispose of the old vanity top.

Disposal prices can depend on how hard it is to remove your old vanity top. However, as a rule of thumb, larger and heavier countertops will cost more to remove.

In addition to the median $2,300 for installing new vanity tops, expect to pay anywhere from $100–400 for disposal, if not more for replacing granite or marble slabs.

As a range, you can expect to pay between $400–4,300 for installation on a bathroom vanity top alone, with the median coming to $2,300. However, as with other fixtures in the bathroom, there is a range of price points for these.

Notable pricing factors include:

• Material type: The materials we offer for bathroom vanity tops include cultured marble and quartz. Both of these materials offer beauty and durability without sacrificing affordability. However, price points will still vary.
• Sink style: There are multiple types of sink styles that can match the exact style you want for your bathroom, including traditional drop-in and undermount sinks, integrated sinks, vessel sinks, double-bowl sinks, and more.
• Size: Bathroom vanity top sizes are typically priced out per square foot. Therefore, larger vanity tops will inherently cost more than their smaller counterparts.
• Customization: Need your bathroom vanity top to have a custom color? These factors will contribute to a higher price point.
• Installation: Hiring a professional to install your bathroom vanity is fairly standard practice and can cost $600 or less on average.

Figuring out how to choose the right bathroom vanity top for you comes down to knowing about the different types of materials that are available. These are some of the most common materials you’ll find, both in our showroom and beyond.

Quartz vs. Cultured Marble Vanity Tops

A very popular choice for bathroom vanity tops, quartz is a man-made material comprised of resins, pigments, and crushed quartz crystals—hence the name. It’s designed to resemble natural stone and resist damage from scratches or stains, all while maintaining durability.

Unlike natural marble, which is quarried from mines, cultured marble is a man-made material that blends crushed natural marble with resins and dyes for a realistic finish. Therefore, while it has a lot of the same care requirements as its natural counterpart, cultured marble is much more affordable.
