Stone surfaces are not just for kitchen benches. Custom stonework for bathroom vanities and laundry benches can add durability, style and long-term value to your home. Many homeowners in Newcastle and the Hunter region now invest in stone vanities or laundry benches for their resilience against moisture, stains and everyday wear — especially compared with timber or laminate.

Benefits of Stone in Wet Areas


  • Durability and water resistance: Properly sealed stone stands up to splashes, moisture and daily use typical in bathrooms and laundries.
  • Low maintenance: Engineered stone or sealed natural stone requires minimal upkeep — a wipe with mild cleaner is often enough.
  • Custom design freedom: You can design the vanity or bench to match your space — shape, size, sink cutouts, drain placement — all handled by in-house fabricators. HVGM does measure, cut and install to suit each home.
  • Cohesive aesthetics: Matching your kitchen bench, splashback, or shower walls gives a premium, coordinated look. Stone vanities help elevate the overall design.


What to Check Before Ordering


  • Choose a stone type suited to moisture exposure (e.g. quartz, porcelain, sealed granite rather than softer marbles).
  • Confirm correct sealing and sealing frequency — this helps avoid staining.
  • Let professionals handle templating and installation — proper sealing, edging and cutouts affect longevity and appearance. HVGM handles full fabrication and installation in-house, no subcontractors involved.
  • Think about edges and finishes: polished, honed or brushed finishes each give different looks; edge detail affects maintenance and style.


Stone vanities and laundry benches bring long-lasting value. They suit families, frequent entertainers, or anyone wanting low maintenance without compromising style.
