One vanity usually needs a single day, now and then two, which makes it our smallest booking. The vanity's fronts ride to our booth and its base is finished where it sits, so the bathroom is usable again soon after the cabinet painting wraps up.
Bathrooms are hard on paint because of daily steam, so vanities get the same careful steps as a kitchen. In Churchill Meadows, many houses have a main bathroom and an ensuite, and the vanities often came in the same espresso or dark maple finish as the kitchen.
Vanity cabinet painting needs a true cabinet enamel. Wall paint on a vanity fails within a year. It never gets hard enough, water sits on the top edges, and the paint swells and lifts, usually on the lower edge of the door closest to the tub.
Vanity cabinet painting uses the full kitchen system. We choose a bonding or shellac primer for the material, then spray thin layers of enamel or catalyzed polyurethane, scuffing lightly before each new layer. A small job still gets the full process.
Vanity edges need extra care. Splashes run down the door and soak in along the lower edge and the underside, so those hidden faces get the same full coats as the front.
Once the kitchen goes white or greige, a dark vanity upstairs stands out. Most owners here add the main bathroom and the ensuite to the kitchen booking so the whole house matches.
Espresso vanities need the same bonding primer and extra primer build as espresso kitchens. The espresso cabinet painting page explains why. A thermofoil vanity door with a curled corner needs stripping or replacing first, the same as a kitchen door.
By itself, cabinet painting one vanity tends to run in the low hundreds of dollars. Added to a kitchen job, it costs less, since setup and travel are already covered.
Replacing it means a new cabinet, a new top, new taps and a plumber, which adds up to several times the price. When the base is square and the doors are sound, painting a vanity is a smart choice, not a shortcut. Many households add two vanities and a laundry cabinet together, and pantry, laundry and built-in cabinet painting covers those extra rooms.
A kitchen door is handled often, but a vanity door is splashed and steamed every morning. That is hard on a new finish.
Waterborne enamel wants gentle use for its first seven days and close to a month to harden fully, and humid summer weather stretches both. Run the fan and keep showers quick for the first few days. We put the hardware on last, because a handle tightened onto a soft finish leaves a mark.
A powder room vanity sees almost no steam, so cabinet painting there is simple and quick. An ensuite vanity with a double sink and a busy morning routine takes more wear, so we lean toward the harder topcoat. Basement bathrooms can be damp year-round, and we check the base for any sign of a leak before the cabinet painting starts.
Either way works. A single vanity is quoted as its own small cabinet painting job, and adding it to a kitchen booking saves a second visit. Call +1 (289) 206-9978, send a photo and the size, or read the service overview.
Vanities, pantries, laundry rooms, mudroom lockers and basement bars are primed and sprayed with the kitchen's enamel.
We unscrew every door and drawer front; each one is degreased and sanded, takes a primer chosen for its material, and receives a tough sprayed enamel before it is rehung. Kitchen cabinet painting gives the room a new colour while the counters, sink and floors stay exactly where they are.

Dark espresso maple and brown thermofoil can be painted white, greige or any light colour when the factory finish is scuffed and sealed under a bonding primer first. Espresso cabinet painting takes one more primer step than a light kitchen, and that step is what keeps the brown from showing through.

Oak needs a stain-blocking primer so its tannin does not rise through the new colour, and a choice about whether to fill the open grain. When oak cabinet painting follows those two steps, the finish stays clean and even for years.

Refinishing leaves the grain on show: we sand or strip the old coat, stain the wood to a new tone and spray a fresh clear finish over it. It is the right choice when the wood is worth showing, and paint is the right choice when it is not.

Sprayed coats land as a fine mist that flows level before it dries, so the finished door has no brush lines at all. Cabinet painting done with a sprayer looks like a factory finish instead of a weekend project.

Slick factory surfaces need a bonding primer made to grip them, because ordinary primer slides off. Sound melamine, laminate and thermofoil all accept cabinet painting, although a vinyl face that is already peeling is beyond what paint can rescue.

New doors and drawer fronts hang on the boxes you already own, and the frames and end panels are coated to match. When only a few doors have failed, those pieces are replaced and finished along with the rest in the same cabinet painting job.

White or warm white on the upper cabinets with navy, sage or charcoal below is the look most people ask about, often with the island in the darker colour. Island cabinet painting on its own is also a full job we quote separately.

Stacked townhouses and condo towns usually have compact kitchens with ten to twenty doors, so the work moves quickly. Condo cabinet painting goes smoothly when parking, access and the board's rules are sorted out before the first day.

Pantry cabinets, laundry uppers, mudroom lockers, basement bars and built-in desks all get the same primer and sprayed enamel as the kitchen. Since most of them are anchored in place, we carry out this cabinet painting on site inside a sealed plastic enclosure.
See Pantries and Built-Ins
Unused pull holes are plugged and filled flush, and fresh holes are bored with a jig so the pulls sit level along each run. Tired hinges can be changed to soft-close models while the doors are down for cabinet painting.

Warm white tops the request list, followed by soft cream, greige, sage, navy and charcoal, yet a tiny chip from the paint store gives little idea how each will read in your house. We spray one of your doors in the actual shade and leave it in the kitchen, so the cabinet painting choice happens in your own light.
See Colour ConsultationWe come over, count each door and drawer, confirm the material and spell out the work. The visit and quote are both free.
Colour, door style, rough age: note whatever you can, and expect a call to pick a day. Just a name and number will send it. You can also call us at +1 (289) 206-9978.
