MARBLE COUNTERTOPS & VANITY TOPS IN DUBAI
Measure the openings before you choose the edge.
For kitchen worktops, bathroom vanity tops, reception counters and custom slab surfaces that need accurate templating, cut-outs, edge profiling and coordinated installation. We build the fabrication scope around the actual cabinet geometry, appliance and basin openings, slab pattern and finished edge detail so the piece is made for the site rather than forced to fit it.
IS CUSTOM FABRICATION THE RIGHT SERVICE?
A countertop or vanity top is a fabricated component. The work starts with geometry, openings, edge details and slab selection. If an existing top is sound and only dull, stained or lightly scratched, cleaning or refinishing may be more appropriate than replacement.
COUNTERTOP FABRICATION IS USUALLY THE RIGHT ROUTE WHEN
REPAIR OR FINISHING SHOULD BE ASSESSED FIRST WHEN
WHAT COUNTERTOP FABRICATION HAS TO SOLVE
The slab is only one part of the result. Fabrication must resolve cabinet geometry, walls that are not perfectly square, appliance openings, edge strength, seams and how the slab pattern lands on the finished piece.
Real rooms are rarely perfectly rectangular, so relying on nominal cabinet dimensions can leave large gaps or force unsafe site trimming.
Target: template the actual geometry before final cutting.Openings must account for bowl size, reveal, tap position, cabinet rails and the remaining stone around the cut-out.
Target: preserve functional clearances and adequate material around the opening.Cooking appliances bring manufacturer dimensions, heat zones and cabinet constraints that cannot be guessed from a showroom image.
Target: cut from confirmed appliance information and site conditions.The same slab can look refined or bulky depending on edge profile, thickness build-up, mitre quality and corner treatment.
Target: choose an edge build-up that suits both stone strength and design intent.Strong marble veins or dramatic quartzite movement can land awkwardly across seams, sinks or waterfall ends if pieces are nested only for material yield.
Target: balance pattern continuity with practical slab utilization.Long runs, access limitations and slab dimensions sometimes require joints, but their location affects both strength and appearance.
Target: place seams where they are structurally sensible and visually controlled.WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE FABRICATION
Countertop errors become expensive after the slab is cut. The process is therefore front-loaded: dimensions, openings, edge details and support conditions are resolved before fabrication begins.
We confirm whether the surface is a kitchen top, vanity, counter or other application, then review slab thickness, cabinet support, overhangs and any areas requiring reinforcement or special detailing.
Walls, cabinet lines, corners, projections and finished lengths are measured from site. Where final cabinets are not ready, fabrication dimensions should not be treated as confirmed.
Sink, basin, hob, tap and accessory cut-outs are coordinated along with edge profile, upstands, mitres, joints and any waterfall or return details before cutting.
Pieces are fabricated to the approved dimensions, with cut-outs and visible edges processed according to the selected detail and material limitations.
The fabricated pieces are positioned on prepared supports, seams and interfaces are completed within scope, and the finished top is checked for fit, edge continuity and visible damage.
COUNTERTOP & VANITY RATES
A straight fabrication-only run is different from a full kitchen replacement with slab supply, cut-outs, mitred edges and installation. These starting rates separate the common scope elements so planning is more realistic.
| Service scope | From | Unit | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Countertop Fabrication | AED 111 | /lm | Fabrication-only planning rate for suitable standard slab work |
| Basic Worktop Replacement | AED 1,950 | /job | Basic replacement planning scope; final price depends on material, dimensions and removal |
| Quartz / Granite Countertop | AED 5,700 | /job | Typical kitchen planning scope where material and fabrication requirements are broader |
| Porcelain / Sintered Countertop | AED 7,200 | /job | Full-slab planning rate for specialist large-format countertop applications |
| Vanity Top Fabrication | AED 420 | /top | Standard vanity top fabrication for confirmed dimensions |
| Sink Cut-Out | AED 72 | /cut-out | Standard sink or basin cut-out where the slab and geometry are suitable |
| Hob Cut-Out | AED 72 | /cut-out | Standard hob opening based on confirmed appliance dimensions |
| Edge Profiling | AED 24 | /lm | Standard visible edge profile on suitable stone |

Final fabrication should follow approved site dimensions and appliance/sanitary specifications.
EDGE & DETAIL OPTIONS
Visible thickness, edge profile, upstands and end conditions determine how the fabricated slab integrates with the joinery and the rest of the interior.
WHERE CUSTOM SLAB TOPS ARE USED
The geometry changes with the application, but the same core rules apply: template the actual support, coordinate openings, protect weak zones and plan visible edges before cutting.
SLAB MATERIAL SUITABILITY
Different slabs respond differently around cut-outs, narrow strips, overhangs, heat exposure and edge profiling. Fabrication details should be selected with the actual material—not copied blindly from another project.
REPLACE, REPAIR OR REFINISH?
The right route depends on whether the problem is geometry, structural damage or surface appearance.

COUNTERTOP FABRICATION FAQ
The best time to solve a countertop problem is before fabrication, when dimensions and details can still be changed without wasting material.
Our fabrication-only planning rate starts from AED 111 per linear metre for suitable standard work. Vanity tops start from AED 420 per top, standard sink or hob cut-outs from AED 72 each and edge profiling from AED 24 per linear metre. Full kitchen or replacement jobs vary significantly with slab material, quantity, edge design, cut-outs, removal and installation.
The starting fabrication rate should not be read as automatic material supply. A project can be quoted as fabrication-only or as a broader supply-and-install scope depending on the selected slab and site requirement. The written quotation should state clearly what material, fabrication and installation items are included.
Final templating should happen after the supporting cabinets or structure are installed, level and in their final position. Measuring too early creates risk around wall angles, finished lengths, appliance clearances and sink positions.
Yes, where the material, thickness and geometry allow it. Cut-outs need confirmed dimensions and sufficient remaining stone around corners and narrow strips. Appliance and sanitary specifications should be available before final fabrication.
Yes, but it should be selected with realistic expectations. Natural marble can etch and stain more readily than some harder or engineered worktop materials, so the finish, sealing strategy, use pattern and maintenance expectations matter.
Sometimes. It depends on seam locations, matching material availability, edge profile, cabinet support and whether the replacement piece can be integrated without creating an awkward visible joint. A site/photo review is needed before promising a partial replacement.
Send overall lengths and depths, photos of the cabinets or existing top, required material if known, sink/basin and hob details, desired edge profile, location and whether removal of an existing top is required. Final fabrication dimensions still need site confirmation.
PLANNING A COUNTERTOP OR VANITY TOP?
Share the location, approximate lengths/depths, material preference, sink or hob information and a photo of the support/cabinet area. We can identify the missing details before final templating.
