TopStone Granite cuts and installs custom vanity tops for primary baths, hall baths and powder rooms across Baltimore. Each top is made from granite, quartz or marble to fit your vanity cabinet, your sink and the actual shape of your walls.
Many of our bathroom jobs are replacements: a cracked cultured marble top, a dated laminate counter or a prefab top that never quite fit. We swap the top and leave the cabinet in place when it is sound.
Our team brings 15+ years and 650+ completed jobs to bathrooms of every size. TopStone is licensed and insured under MHIC #145977 and works throughout Baltimore and about an hour's drive around it.
A vanity top is a small piece of stone with a lot of precision packed into it. The sink, faucet holes, backsplash and wall edges all have to land within a fraction of an inch, in a room where every inch is visible. It is one part of our wider countertop installation work, scaled down to a single cabinet.
We fabricate and install:
Your sink and faucet decide how the top is cut, so choose them before we measure. Here is how each common option changes the template, and our sink and appliance cutouts page explains how openings are cut and polished.
Undermount bowls are the most popular vanity choice because there is no rim to trap grime. The bowl is bonded and clipped to the underside of the stone, then sealed with silicone at the joint.
We cut the opening from the sink's own template and polish the exposed edge. Rectangular bowls need tight, square corners; oval bowls need a smooth, even reveal all the way around.
A vessel bowl sits on top of the counter, so the stone needs only a drain hole and faucet holes. That makes the cutout simpler.
Because the bowl adds height, vessel sinks usually pair with a lower vanity or a wall-mount or tall faucet. Measure the rim height before you commit so the sink is comfortable to use.
A single-hole faucet needs one hole, while a widespread set usually needs three holes on 8-inch centers. We drill to your faucet's spec, so we need the model at template.
A wall-mount faucet needs its supply lines moved into the wall. Moving plumbing usually requires a permit, from Baltimore City DHCD in the city or the county permit office elsewhere, and work by a licensed plumber.
Bathrooms are easier on stone than kitchens in some ways and harder in others. There is no cutting or hot pans, but there is constant water, toothpaste, cosmetics and cleaning sprays.
A polished finish shows water spots more on dark stone, and a honed finish feels softer and hides wear. Either way, natural stone in a bathroom benefits from regular sealing and polishing.
Most single vanities need a piece of stone under about 5 feet long, which is often small enough to cut from a remnant. Remnants are the leftover sections of slabs from larger jobs.
The advantage is price, since you are not paying for a full slab you will not use. The trade-off is choice: you pick from what is in stock rather than from every color in a catalog. Ask about remnant pricing when you request your quote.
Vanity tops are small, so a few details move the price more than square footage does. The biggest factors are whether the top comes from a remnant or a full slab, single or double sink cutouts, the number of faucet holes, the edge profile, and any backsplash or sidesplash pieces.
Removing a one-piece cultured marble top and carrying stone to an upstairs bath also play a part. Our countertop cost guide explains how these add up.
A vanity job follows the same basic path as a kitchen, compressed into a smaller scale. Our process page covers each step in full.
Install day for a vanity is usually a few hours. We confirm the template-to-install timeline at your estimate, and most of the wait is fabrication.
Older Baltimore homes rarely have square bathroom walls. Plaster walls bow, corners drift past 90 degrees, and a vanity tucked between two walls can be narrower at the back than the front.
We scribe the template to the walls as they really are, so the top fits tight without a thick bead of caulk covering the gap. In a wall-to-wall alcove, every millimeter counts, because the stone cannot flex into place.
Access is the other challenge. Second-floor and attic bathrooms in rowhomes and older colonials often mean carrying a top up a narrow, turning stair, so we check the path from the door to the bathroom before fabrication.
Yes, as long as the cabinet is level, firmly attached to the wall and not water damaged. We check for a soft or swollen cabinet floor under the sink and loose joints before quoting. A sound cabinet can carry a new stone top for years.
Both 2cm and 3cm stone work on vanities. 2cm is common in bathrooms and is often finished with a built-up or laminated edge to look thicker, while 3cm gives a heavier look with no build-up. The right choice depends on your vanity's height and the style you want.
Yes, if you accept some care. Marble etches from acidic products and stains if left unsealed, so wipe up toiletries promptly and reseal regularly. A honed finish hides daily wear better than a high polish.
The install itself usually takes a few hours, and the bathroom sink is back in use once the plumbing is reconnected and the sealant has set. Fabrication time depends on material availability, and we confirm the full timeline at your estimate.
