Your vanity top comes off the same slab floor you walk in Austin, templated and installed by the same crew. No middlemen, no showroom runaround.
A bathroom vanity top takes more abuse than a lot of kitchen counters do. Soap, toothpaste, acetone, hair dye, hot tools, standing water. In a Leander home, where the master bath often runs straight off the primary bedroom with no door to buffer the humidity, the surface you choose matters.
ATX Granite King handles vanity tops the same way we handle a full kitchen: you pick the actual slab, we measure, we cut, we set it. One crew does the whole job. We are based in Austin and we run the 183A corridor up through Leander every week.
The stone comes from a direct importer slab floor in Austin with 299 lots on the floor. You walk the aisles, you see the exact piece that will end up in your bathroom, and we give you a straight quote before any saw touches stone. Call us at (512) 297-7493 for that number.
The same people who template your vanity also fabricate the slab and install the finished top. When the person measuring is the person cutting and setting, the fit comes out right. There is no handoff between a sales team and a subcontractor.
Bathroom vanities are small jobs. Most of the time we can pull your top from a remnant already on the yard, which keeps the job straightforward. We tell you upfront whether your size and stone choice work with a remnant or need a full slab.
The cutout for your sink and setting the sink itself are part of the fabrication price. You supply the sink or we can point you to suppliers we work with regularly. The cut is made to match your exact bowl template, not a generic opening.
Granite is a natural igneous stone. It is hard, takes heat well, and stands up to daily bathroom use. The tradeoff is that granite is porous enough to want sealing. A good sealer applied once a year usually does the job, but if the sealer wears off and water sits, the stone can darken. In a kids' bathroom where toothpaste and mouthwash spill and sit, granite needs that yearly maintenance to hold its look.
Engineered quartz is non porous and does not need sealing at all. That is the honest advantage. The resin binder means water, soap, and most bathroom chemicals will not soak in. The downside is heat. A curling iron or flat iron set down hot can scorch the resin and leave a mark that will not buff out. Quartz also does not belong in direct sun, so a vanity near an east facing window in a Leander primary bath might see enough morning light to cause fading over time.
Marble is calcium based, and that is the whole story. Anything acidic etches it. Lemon juice, vinegar based cleaners, even some liquid hand soaps leave dull marks that sealing cannot prevent. Sealing slows staining from oil or water but does nothing against acid etching. Marble in a powder room that sees light use can stay beautiful for years. Marble in a busy family bathroom will show every etch and scratch. Quartzite is metamorphosed sandstone and is generally very hard, though some slabs sold as quartzite are actually a dolomitic marble and will etch. We help you test the slab before you commit.
First you come to the slab floor in Austin. You walk the aisles and pick the stone you want. We do not send you to a website to pick from thumbnails. The slab you point at is the slab we cut. For a bathroom vanity, you are often looking at a remnant, which means the piece is already on the yard and we can show it to you in full.
Once you pick the stone, we come to your house in Leander and template the vanity. That means we take exact measurements of the cabinet, the walls, and any uneven spots. In new construction up the 183A corridor, walls are rarely perfectly square, and cabinet boxes can be out of level by a fraction. The template captures all of that so the stone fits tight to the wall and overhangs the cabinet face evenly.
Back at the shop we cut the slab, polish the edges, cut the sink opening, and cut any backsplash and side splash pieces. Then the same crew returns and sets the top. We shim where the cabinets are low, we scribe to the wall where it bows, and we set the sink. The job is done when the top is level, the seams are tight, and the sink drains.
A double bowl vanity top is one piece of stone with two sink cutouts, or two pieces seamed in the middle when the vanity is too long for a single slab. In a Leander new build, a sixty inch double vanity is common, and that often fits on one slab. A seventy two inch or longer run usually needs a seam. We place seams where they make visual sense, usually centered between the bowls, and we color match the epoxy to the stone.
The seam is not invisible. Honest truth: you will see a thin line if you look for it. A good seam is smooth to the touch and does not catch a fingernail, but the joint is there. On a busy patterned granite or quartzite, the seam hides better. On a solid white quartz, it shows more. We tell you where the seam will land before we cut.
Long vanities also mean the backsplash will have seams. We cut the splash pieces to match the grain or pattern direction. If the wall behind the vanity is not flat, which happens often in production framing, we scribe the backsplash to follow the wall so there is no gap to caulk heavily later. The caulk bead should be thin, just a seal, not a filler.
Not every Leander bathroom needs a showpiece slab. We work with a slab selection and fabrication partner for rental grade and flip grade stone. That means a landlord or an investor updating a property in Williamson County can get a solid stone top without paying for a premium slab. The stone is still granite or quartz, still templated and installed by a professional crew, but the slab cost stays down because the material is a standard color with steady availability.
This matters in Leander, where a lot of the housing stock is newer construction bought as investment property. A rental house off 183A with three bathrooms does not need three exotic quartzite vanities. It needs durable surfaces that tenants cannot easily destroy and that look clean for the next lease listing. We help you pick from the rental grade options on the floor and give you a straight quote that fits the project.
The installation quality does not change. The same crew templates, fabricates, and sets the top whether it is a premium slab or a rental grade piece. The edge profile, the sink cutout, the fit to the wall are all done the same way. The difference is in the stone selection and the price, which you get when you call.
Start by measuring your vanity cabinet. Width and depth, and note whether the cabinet sits against a wall on one side, both sides, or freestanding. If you have the sink already, have the model number or the cutout template handy. If you do not have a sink, we can talk through what fits your cabinet size and stone choice.
Then call us at (512) 297-7493 or email info@atxgraniteking.com. We are reachable seven days a week. Tell us you are in Leander, tell us the rough size, and we will tell you whether your job is likely a remnant job or a full slab job. We set a time for you to come to the Austin slab floor and walk the stone in person.
When you come to the floor, you are looking at 299 lots of granite, quartzite, quartz, marble, dolomite, soapstone, porcelain, and semi precious slabs. You pick the one you want. We write the quote. The quote includes the slab, the fabrication, the sink cutout, the sink set, and the backsplash and side splashes. The timeline comes in writing with the quote. No deposit conversation happens until you have the number in hand and you have seen your stone.
$38 per square foot, cut, measure, and install included. Jobs over 1,000 square feet: $30 per square foot.
Sink cutout and sink set are included in the fabrication work. Non standard work is still quoted before work begins. Send the rough square footage and the rooms involved, or call (512) 297-7493 for a straight quote.
We can try if the stone is still available, but stone lots change constantly. The slab floor carries 299 lots, and a specific color from a job two years ago may not be on the floor now. Even the same named color from the same quarry varies from lot to lot. Bring a photo and the stone name, and we will see what is on the floor that reads close. Sometimes a remnant from your original kitchen job is still on the yard, and that is the best match possible.
It depends on the stone. Granite generally needs sealing once a year in a bathroom. Quartzite usually needs sealing too, though less often if it is a true hard quartzite. Engineered quartz does not need sealing at all because it is non porous. Marble gets sealed to slow oil and water stains, but sealing does not stop acid etching from soap or cleaner. We tell you what your specific slab needs and we can apply the first round of sealer at install.
We cut standard eased edge, quarter round, half bullnose, and beveled edges. Eased edge is the most common for bathrooms: a square edge with the sharp corner knocked off just enough to not chip. A full bullnose is a rounded top and bottom, which works well on a vanity where kids might bump into the edge. More complex profiles like ogee are possible but add fabrication time. We show you samples when you come to the slab floor.
Slabs are generally two centimeters or three centimeters thick. A three centimeter slab can sit as a single layer with the full thickness showing on the edge. A two centimeter slab usually gets a laminated edge, meaning we glue a strip along the front to build up the thickness so it looks like a thicker top. The lamination seam is on the underside and is not visible from above. We will tell you which thickness your chosen slab comes in and how the edge will be built.
Porcelain is extremely hard and non porous, which is the upside. The downside is that it is brittle in thin sections. The front edge of a vanity top, where it overhangs the cabinet, can chip if hit hard with something like a heavy glass soap dispenser. The chips are small and sharp, and they show the body color underneath the printed pattern. Porcelain also requires specific blades and adhesives, which not every shop works with. We do, but we make sure you understand that the edge is the vulnerable part before you choose it.
Tell us the rooms, the rough square footage and what you have in mind for bathroom vanity tops in leander. You get a number for the whole job, in writing, before anyone cuts anything.
