Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Oct 12, 2010 5:28 pm I've been watching Get It Sold (US) and one of the places featured used a pre-fabricated granite bench top...and apparently it only cost $80!!! Ok, I know these items tend to be cheaper in the US, but that is SO cheap!! Where do we find this stuff here?? And can it work on a standard vanity unit? The basin is attached to the current unit / bench top by silicone... How the hell did I become a senior member!? I know nothing! Re: Pre-fabricated bench tops 2Oct 12, 2010 5:35 pm Firstly stop watching American shows - they have a much bigger market and their items are much cheaper then over here. Secondly you could check with local stonemasons if they have a suitable cut off piece of granite that would fit your benchtop. The issue then comes that you would need to buy a bowl have them cut out the right size for the bowl and have someone attach said slab / bowl to your existing vanity. If you were handy it wouldn't be too hard an issue but you would need to locate a stonemason who had the right size cut off. Some things are worth waiting for.

I just wasn’t sure if it would be really cheap to get an offcut and then my overall budget would still be under even despite me having to get someone to fit it, etc afterwards.
