A vanity is one day of cabinet painting, occasionally two, and bundling it into a kitchen booking is cheaper than running the thing alone. Whatever oak or thermofoil sits in the kitchen is nearly always in the bathroom as well.
Markham's four-bedroom detached houses in Raymerville, Berczy Village and Victoria Square typically carry three or four vanities between the ensuite, the main bath and the powder room. Doing all of that cabinet painting in one booking is the cheapest way through.
Moisture Is What Makes A Bathroom Different
Steam is the environment a vanity lives in. Daily showers drive humidity past anything a kitchen sees, and the doors below the sink take splash from above and damp from underneath. Cabinet painting has to allow for that, or it lifts along the bottom rail inside a couple of years.
The answer is thorough degreasing, the right primer for the substrate, and a topcoat that cures hard, with 2K polyurethane the better pick in a heavily used bathroom. The toe kick and the lower edges get as much cabinet painting attention as the door faces, since water settles there.
No Coating Restores Particleboard That Has Swollen
The cabinet floor under a vanity sink is where slow leaks end up, and particleboard that has swollen there is finished. It crumbles under sanding, and cabinet painting cannot put the fibre back. At the visit that base gets opened and checked before any cabinet painting is quoted.
Where the base has gone but the doors are sound, a new base or a fresh vanity carcase is what we recommend, even though building one is not our trade. Where only a door has swollen, it is replaced and sprayed in with the rest, as the cabinet refacing and door replacement page describes.
Vanities Take Colours A Kitchen Might Not
A bathroom is a small room seen on its own, so it tolerates a bolder decision than an open-plan kitchen does. Navy with chrome handles, forest green with brass, and charcoal in a powder room all work in a space that size. Cabinet painting a vanity is also a low-risk trial of a colour before a whole kitchen commits to it.
Sheen matters more here than elsewhere. Cabinet painting in satin or semi-gloss sheds water and wipes down better than a matte does, and it holds up to the cleaning products bathrooms get. Sample doors are sprayed the same way they are for a kitchen, as set out on the cabinet colour consultation page.
What Vanity Cabinet Painting Costs On Its Own And In A Bundle
A single vanity of two doors and two drawers sits at the low end of the Ontario market, roughly $400 to $900 depending on size, substrate and colour change. Added to a kitchen booking it costs noticeably less, because the setup, masking and shop run are already paid for. Three vanities plus a kitchen still counts as one mobilisation.
Those are market ranges, not a price list. The written quote after the free visit prices each vanity on its own line so it can be kept in or dropped. Timing is short either way. Vanity doors go to the shop beside the kitchen ones, and the room returns to service inside the same window.
Add The Vanities To The Cabinet Painting Quote
Count the vanity doors and drawers alongside the kitchen ones. Ask for a visit or call +1 (289) 201-7026, and each bathroom lands on its own quote line. Our other cabinet painting across Markham, Unionville and Box Grove begins on the Markham Cabinet Painting home page.
Bathroom Vanity Painting Questions
How long does a vanity take?
A vanity is one day of work, occasionally two. Vanity doors go to the shop beside the kitchen ones, and the room returns to service inside the same window as the rest of the booking.
What if the vanity base has swollen?
Particleboard swollen by a slow leak is finished, since it crumbles under sanding and no coating puts the fibre back. The base is checked before anything is quoted. A swollen door alone is replaced and sprayed in with the rest.
Which sheen suits a bathroom?
Satin or semi-gloss sheds water and wipes down better than matte, and both hold up to bathroom cleaning products. A 2K polyurethane topcoat is the better pick in a heavily used bathroom. Sample doors are sprayed first.
