looking for 48" bathroom vanity top with two sinks
My current bathroom includes a 48 inch vanity that has two sinks. I'm
looking to replace it with something similar. Home Depot has told me that I can't get a Corian top with two sinks for a vanity under 60 inches, and they have no 48" pre-fab vanity tops with two sinks. I can't fit a bigger vanity and I don't want to give up having two sinks-- it's really a nice feature of the bathroom. Anybody have any ideas? Know where I can find such a top? thanks, |

Thanks. But I don't want to spend almost three thousand dollars.
Why not keep the one I have? The cabinet is forty years old and shows it. The countertop is horribly scratched, and the sinks show some corrosion. |

The guys at Home Depot may have thought that you were interested in one of the Corian pre-manufactured tops, which only come in 61" or 73" widths. Good luck. H |

You and your SO must be on the skinny side, or this must be a kids bath. The big-box places only carry the stuff that lots of people want. As soon as you want something unusual, they say 'special order' or shrug. A local custom kitchen store can make or get you whatever you want. If all you want is formica, it is trivial. If you want solid-surface with molded-on undermount sinks, you are talking more money. The vanity itself, if they don't have it that size, they can fake easily enough with standard doors, if you don't mind the vertical rails on the face frame being a little wide. With 2 sinks in that narrow a space, you are probably SOL on drawers, unless you don't care about how hard the pipes are to get to. Personally, for that width, I'd use one big sink- I hate how small basins splash. And with 2 basins, there is almost no usable counter space, so you are almost as bad off as 2 wall-hung sinks would be. aem sends.... |

We've had occasional clients asking for 48"/twin basin vanities. We get
the same answer consistently . . . . "Too risky! Used to make them, but basin diameter was too small and the section between the basins ends up cracking either while being installed or over time." Even with a basin as small as one for a wet bar, the amount of supporting material is so little that I can see how easy it is to crack the counter. |

We just had some granite countertops installed in our kitchen. When we
visited their shop, they had lots of scrap pieces of granite from other jobs. I'm sure they had some larges pieces left over from our job. The folks at the company said that any time we needed a vanity top, just stop by and pick something out from their scrap. They would only change for the putting on the edge, cut out for the sink and holes for the faucet, no charge for the material. I'd bet other will do the same. In our case that was $250 for a 36" sink base. Go find yourself a couple of small undermount sinks and have someone make you a granite tops. I'd bet you could get that done for well under $600 total.

Suggest you go to www.corian.com and look for the local recommended
installer. We just had a 96" counter installed for about $1350 including a built in sink. So that's $1000 for the counter and $350 for the sink. 48" would be $500 plus $700 for the sinks or $1200. This is in Southern California. Other areas might be cheaper. Dave "Shaun Eli" wrote in message oups.com... My current bathroom includes a 48 inch vanity that has two sinks.
