Bathroom Vanity Tops in Dearborn, MI

Bathroom vanity tops are a small job with tight tolerances. A typical vanity top is only a few square feet, but it sits between two walls, carries an undermount or vessel sink, and has to line up with a faucet, a mirror and sometimes a side splash. In Dearborn's older homes, many bathrooms are small and have walls that are out of plumb, so a top cut to an assumed size can leave visible gaps. We measure the actual opening and template to it.

Material choices for a bathroom

• Quartz: non-porous, resists toothpaste, makeup and hair dye stains; a strong default for family bathrooms
• Granite: durable and heat resistant, good near curling irons and hair tools; needs periodic sealing
• Marble: classic look, but etches from acidic products and some cleaners; best in powder rooms or low-use baths
• Cultured marble and solid surface: can include an integral sink with no seam; easy to repair small scratches

HomeGuide lists a quartz vanity top at about $250 to $1,000 installed and a marble top at about $200 to $750 for a standard 20 by 36 inch size. HomeAdvisor's 2026 figures put vanity top material per square foot from about $10 for laminate to $50 to $200 for quartz.

Remnants for small tops

Because vanity tops are small, they can often be cut from remnants: leftover pieces from larger kitchen slabs. Remnants can cut the material cost noticeably. The trade-off is selection: you choose from what is available at the time. If you are doing a kitchen and a bath together, the vanity can sometimes come from the same slab as the kitchen.

Sinks, faucets and backsplashes

We need to know the sink model before fabrication. Undermount sinks need a polished cutout sized to the bowl; vessel sinks need a drain hole and a faucet that is tall enough or wall mounted. Faucet holes are drilled for single-hole, 4-inch centerset or 8-inch widespread faucets, so choose the faucet before the template. A 4-inch splash and side splashes are cut from the same material and set against the walls.

Double vanities and older bathrooms

Adding a second sink to a vanity means a second drain and supply, which is new plumbing. In Dearborn, the city's plumbing permit fee schedule lists sinks as permitted fixtures at $15 each on top of the base permit. Replacing a top on an existing vanity with the same sink layout is a simpler job. If the vanity cabinet itself is being replaced, it is set and leveled before we template the top.

Care

Wipe quartz and solid surface with mild soap and water. On granite and marble, avoid acidic cleaners and harsh bathroom sprays, which can etch marble and wear down the sealer. Wipe up hair dye and nail polish remover quickly on any surface.
