Let’s begin with natural stone. Many people love the look of granite or marble, since it is timeless, classic, and sophisticated. There are many different colors available in this material, and it does stand up very well to immense amounts of heat. However, any sort of natural stone will scrape, cut, and chip if it is hit too hard. Additionally, you will have to reseal this type of material regularly in order to avoid stains. Also, be aware that the design you choose may differ drastically from the design that you get. Since natural stone is highly unpredictable, the grains may not be what you are looking for. This type of material is usually around $40 to $100 per square foot.
Next, let’s talk about quartz for a moment. Quartz is made up of stone chips, resins, and pigments that attempt to imitate marble and granite. As with those natural stones, this material will not resist chips, cuts, and cracks too well, though it does resist stains a bit better. Quartz will cost anywhere from $45 to $90 per square foot. Many people today are opting for ceramic tiles due to the fact that natural stone and quartz tend to chip, though tiles will also crack under pressure. The good thing about tile is that it comes in numerous styles and designs, so if you are careful with it this material shouldn’t be a problem ($10 to $30). Other popular bathroom countertops include stainless steel and laminate.

Stainless steel is immensely popular since it holds up well to heat, damage, and pressure. Then again, stainless can dent if you are not careful. Also, steel tends to show lots of fingerprints, so you may have to dust this off quite frequently ($70). Laminate (Formica and Wilsonart) is one idea that you may want to consider if you have kids. Since this material is hard to damage, it is usually a favorite with families ($10 to $30).
Now that you have some idea as to which bathroom countertops will suit your needs best, you can decide upon the one that will work in your home.
