Granite is widely considered one of the best choices among countertop materials. If you're considering granite bathroom countertops, you'll want to browse all options for pricing, quality and maintenance.

Granite is incredibly durable and it has a high-quality, natural surface that's easy to clean. Because of its advantages over other materials, granite is generally the most expensive option for bathroom countertops. However, there is a range of granite types to explore, along with various price levels. Additionally, granite is available in an almost infinite variety of styles and colors, from matte to glossy, solid to speckled—so you'll have plenty of options to match the style of your bathroom.

For basic granite countertops, you can expect to spend $50 to $60 per linear foot for materials and installation. This type of granite will not be of the highest quality—it may be less durable than higher-quality granite, and susceptible to scratching or chipping, for example—but it will still have a beautiful appearance at a budget price.

For a better-quality granite, you can expect to pay $60 to $70 per linear foot. This granite type will be slightly more durable, and more resistant to scratching and chipping.

Finally, on the high end of the scale, you can expect to pay up to $200 per linear foot (sometimes more) for granite countertops that are just about guaranteed to last a lifetime.
