Bathroom Vanity Tops in Wichita, KS

Bathroom vanity tops are small pieces of stone with very little room for error. The sink has to center on the cabinet and clear the drawers, the faucet holes have to match the faucet's spread, and the top has to sit tight against walls that are often out of square in older Wichita homes. Getting those details right is most of the work, and it is why we template vanities rather than ordering a stock top.

Materials that work in bathrooms

Quartz is a popular choice for vanities: it is non-porous, easy to clean, and holds up to toothpaste, makeup and hair products. Granite works well and often uses a remnant piece, which can lower cost on a small top. Marble looks classic but etches from acidic products and needs sealing. Solid surface can include an integrated sink with no seam, and cultured marble is common on budget and stock vanities. HomeAdvisor lists vanity materials at roughly $50 to $200 per square foot for quartz, $40 to $100 for granite slab, and $40 to $180 for cultured marble.

Sizes and configurations

Single vanities are commonly about two to three feet wide, and double vanities often run five to six feet or more. Some bathrooms have a vanity that runs wall to wall, which means the top needs to be scribed to both side walls. Others have one exposed end that needs a finished edge. We also cut matching side splashes and back splashes, and can extend the top over a toilet tank or into a makeup area.

Sink choices

Undermount sinks are the usual pairing with stone because there is no rim to trap grime. Vessel sinks sit on top and need only a drain hole and the right faucet height. Drop-in sinks work with any top but leave a rim. We need your sink and faucet, or their exact model numbers, before cutting, because cutout sizes vary.

Plumbing

We reconnect the drain and supply lines to the existing rough-in. If you are moving from a single sink to a double, or shifting the sink off center, the drain and supply lines need to move, and that is plumbing work that falls under MABCD permits in Wichita and unincorporated Sedgwick County. We flag it at the estimate so it can be handled by a licensed plumber before the top goes on.

Mid-century bathrooms

Many Wichita homes from the 1950s and 1960s still have their original small bathrooms with narrow vanities or wall-hung sinks. Switching to a vanity cabinet with a stone top can add storage, but check the depth: a standard 21- or 22-inch vanity can crowd a small room, and we can cut a shallower top for a narrower cabinet.
