Can You Replace Just the Bathroom Vanity Top?
Can you replace just the bathroom vanity top? Yes, you can replace just the bathroom vanity top when the vanity cabinet underneath is solid, level and free of water damage. The old top comes off, we template the cabinet and cut a new stone top with the sink and faucet openings, and your plumber reconnects the faucet and drain. It is one of the fastest ways to update a bathroom.
