    • Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does a bathroom countertop cost?

    Bathroom countertops typically cost $200-$3,000 installed, depending on material and size. A standard 4-foot vanity top costs $300-$800 in laminate, $500-$1,200 in granite, or $600-$1,500 in quartz.

    What is the best material for bathroom countertops?

    Quartz is considered the best overall for bathrooms due to its durability, stain resistance, and low maintenance. It doesn't need sealing and resists moisture well. Granite is also excellent but requires periodic sealing.

    Is quartz or granite better for bathrooms?

    Quartz is generally better for bathrooms because it's non-porous and never needs sealing, making it more moisture-resistant. Granite is beautiful but requires annual sealing to prevent water damage.

    Can I install bathroom countertops myself?

    Laminate and tile countertops are DIY-friendly. Stone countertops (granite, quartz, marble) require professional installation due to their weight and the specialized cutting equipment needed.

    How long do bathroom countertops last?

    With proper care, stone countertops (granite, quartz, marble) last 50+ years. Solid surface lasts 20-30 years. Laminate typically lasts 10-20 years. Tile can last indefinitely if grout is maintained.

    Do bathroom countertops need to match kitchen?

    No, bathroom and kitchen countertops don't need to match. Many homeowners choose different materials based on each room's needs and budget. Consistency in quality level is more important than matching materials.
