Replacing a bathroom countertop in Arizona can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars for a small vanity made from an available remnant to several thousand dollars for a large double vanity made from premium quartzite or marble.
The final price depends on the size of the vanity, countertop material, number of sinks, edge profile, removal of the existing surface, backsplash pieces, and whether the current cabinet can be reused.
Based on current 2026 pricing, granite bathroom countertops generally cost $45 to $100 per square foot installed. Quartz ranges from $55 to $120 per square foot, quartzite from $70 to $145, and marble from $75 to $150.
These ranges include the countertop material, fabrication, and standard installation. Removal, plumbing, sinks, upgraded edges, and other project details may affect the final estimate.
Mirage Marble & Granite fabricates and installs custom bathroom countertops throughout Phoenix, Peoria, Glendale, Scottsdale, Surprise, Goodyear, Anthem, and the West Valley.
Bathroom Countertop Cost by Material
The material you choose is one of the biggest factors affecting the price of a bathroom countertop.
| Countertop Material | 2026 Installed Price Range |
|---|---|
| Granite | $45 to $100 per square foot |
| Quartz | $55 to $120 per square foot |
| Quartzite | $70 to $145 per square foot |
| Marble | $75 to $150 per square foot |
These prices can vary based on the specific color, pattern, brand, slab availability, and fabrication requirements. Premium quartz can cost as much as some natural stone, while an available granite or quartz remnant may make a smaller project more affordable.

Granite Bathroom Countertops
Granite is often one of the most affordable natural stone choices for a bathroom vanity. It offers strong durability, natural color variation, and a wide selection of patterns.
Granite normally needs periodic sealing, but it can provide long-lasting performance when properly maintained. Smaller bathrooms may also be able to use an available granite remnant instead of purchasing material from a full slab.
Quartz Bathroom Countertops
Quartz is a popular bathroom material because it does not normally require sealing and offers strong resistance to common spills.
It is available in solid colors, lightly patterned designs, and premium styles that resemble marble or quartzite. Because quartz is manufactured, it generally offers more consistent color and patterning than natural stone.
Quartzite Bathroom Countertops
Quartzite is a natural stone known for its strength and distinctive movement. Many quartzite slabs have white, gray, cream, or beige backgrounds with veins that resemble marble.
Quartzite usually costs more than standard granite or quartz. It may also require more careful slab layout planning when the material has strong directional veining.
Marble Bathroom Countertops
Marble provides a classic, high-end appearance. Bathrooms can be a practical place to use marble because vanity tops are not exposed to the same cooking oils, hot pans, and heavy use as kitchen countertops.
Marble still requires proper sealing and careful cleaning. Acidic cosmetics, cleaners, and personal care products should be wiped up promptly to help prevent etching or staining.
How Vanity Size Affects the Cost
Bathroom vanities usually require much less countertop material than kitchens. However, the countertop depth, finished edges, number of sinks, and backsplash pieces all affect the total.
A standard bathroom countertop is often about 22 inches deep. Based on that depth:
- A 36-inch vanity requires approximately 5.5 square feet of countertop material.
- A 48-inch vanity requires approximately 7.3 square feet.
- A 60-inch vanity requires approximately 9.2 square feet.
- A 72-inch vanity requires approximately 11 square feet.
Using the confirmed material ranges, the base cost for a 36-inch countertop may range from approximately $250 for entry-level granite to about $825 for premium marble. A 72-inch vanity may have a base countertop cost between approximately $495 and $1,650.
These examples cover material, fabrication, and standard installation. They do not include removal, plumbing, sinks, backsplashes, cabinet repairs, or upgraded features.
Unlike some fabricators, Mirage Marble & Granite does not have a minimum project charge for a standalone bathroom vanity.
Remnants Can Significantly Reduce Material Costs
A countertop remnant is a usable piece left from a larger slab project. Because bathroom vanities require relatively little material, remnants are often a good fit.
Mirage Marble & Granite keeps many granite, quartz, quartzite, marble, and other stone remnants at its Peoria fabrication yard.
Remnants may work well for:
- Powder room vanities
- Guest bathroom countertops
- Single-sink vanity tops
- Small double vanities
- Matching backsplashes and side splashes
Using a remnant can significantly reduce material costs, especially when the alternative is purchasing an entire slab for a small project.
Availability changes regularly. The remnant must also be large enough for the countertop dimensions, sink opening, finished edges, backsplash pieces, and required fabrication allowances.
When a specific color or pattern is required, the homeowner may need to select and reserve a full slab. The Mirage Marble & Granite guide on choosing a granite or quartz slab in Phoenix explains how to compare remnants, full slabs, colors, veining, and layout.
Removal of the Existing Bathroom Countertop
Removing and disposing of an existing countertop generally costs between $3 and $8 per square foot.
The exact cost depends on the material, installation method, access to the bathroom, and the condition of the vanity cabinet.
Removing laminate or a basic vanity top may be relatively simple. Tile, cultured marble, granite, and other heavy surfaces may require more time and care.
The removal process may also uncover problems such as:
- Water damage
- An uneven vanity cabinet
- Loose cabinet sections
- Damaged drywall
- Improper previous installation
- A mirror resting directly on the countertop
Mirage Marble & Granite does not have a separate minimum demolition or haul-away charge for smaller bathrooms.
Sinks, Faucet Holes, and Plumbing
The number and style of sinks can affect fabrication and installation costs.
A double vanity requires two sink openings instead of one. Undermount sinks also require finished and polished cutout edges because the edge remains visible after installation.
Common sink options include:
- Undermount sinks
- Drop-in sinks
- Vessel sinks
- Integrated sink designs
- Single- and double-sink layouts
Faucet holes are included as part of the sink cutout work. Mirage Marble & Granite can also provide bathroom sinks and faucets, or customers may provide their own fixtures.
Plumbing disconnection and reconnection should be discussed before installation. Mirage Marble & Granite can provide a plumber referral when plumbing work is needed.
Moving drains, supply lines, or sink locations will generally cost more than reconnecting fixtures in their existing positions.
Backsplashes, Side Splashes, and Edge Profiles
A four-inch stone backsplash is a common addition to bathroom vanity countertops. Side splashes may also be installed where the countertop meets a wall.
These pieces can help protect painted drywall from water, cosmetics, soap, and routine cleaning.
Mirage Marble & Granite can fabricate matching four-inch backsplashes and side splashes when requested. Pricing depends on the material, length, height, and fabrication required.
The countertop edge also affects the finished appearance and cost. A standard eased edge is generally more affordable than a decorative or more labor-intensive profile.
Possible edge options include:
- Straight or eased edge
- Beveled edge
- Half bullnose
- Full bullnose
- Ogee edge
The best edge depends on the bathroom style, material thickness, budget, and amount of daily use.
Can You Keep the Existing Vanity Cabinet?
In some cases, a new stone countertop can be installed on the existing vanity cabinet.
Before installation, the cabinet must be secure, level, properly supported, and in good condition. A damaged or uneven cabinet can affect countertop alignment and may increase the risk of future problems.
The existing vanity may need to be repaired, reinforced, leveled, or replaced when it has:
- Water damage
- Loose joints
- A sagging cabinet box
- An uneven top surface
- Insufficient support
- A layout that does not work with the new sink
Mirage Marble & Granite can replace the countertop alone or help with a larger bathroom vanity project that includes new cabinetry.
How to Save Money on Bathroom Countertop Replacement
There are several ways to control the cost without giving up professional fabrication and installation:
- Look at available remnants before purchasing a full slab.
- Keep the existing vanity cabinet when it is level and structurally sound.
- Keep the sink and plumbing in the same location.
- Choose a standard edge profile.
- Avoid unnecessary layout changes.
- Combine multiple bathroom vanity tops into one project.
- Select an in-stock material rather than a rare or special-order stone.
- Request a detailed written estimate before approving the work.
Combining several vanity tops into one project can improve efficiency because measurement, material handling, fabrication, and installation can be coordinated together.
What Should the Estimate Include?
A bathroom countertop estimate should clearly explain which parts of the project are included.
Review the estimate for:
- Countertop material
- Measurement
- Fabrication
- Standard installation
- Sink cutouts
- Faucet holes
- Edge profile
- Existing countertop removal
- Disposal
- Backsplashes and side splashes
- Sinks and faucets
- Plumbing responsibilities
- Cabinet repairs or replacement
Two estimates may have different prices because they do not include the same work. Comparing the full scope is more useful than comparing only the per-square-foot rate.
