One vanity usually needs a day, two at most, and barely interrupts household routines. Its doors are sprayed off site and its box is coated in place, so this short cabinet painting job returns the bathroom to you fast.
Bathrooms fill with steam every day, so vanity cabinet painting uses products picked to handle water. Many Don Mills and Parkwoods houses have only one full bathroom on the upper level, which makes a short, planned job important.
Wall paint on a vanity breaks down within a year. That paint never cures hard, splashes sit on the upper edges, and the coat blisters and flakes, usually low on the door nearest the tub.
A vanity gets the same cabinet painting system as a kitchen. It gets a primer suited to its material, followed by thin sprayed coats of enamel or two-part polyurethane. We coat every lower edge and underside, since that is where damp gets in.
Plenty of Parkwoods and Banbury-Don Mills bathrooms still hold a golden oak vanity from the same era as the oak kitchens. It needs a shellac primer to block tannin and a choice about the grain, both covered under oak cabinet painting.
Condos and recent builds tend to have melamine or thermofoil vanities. Cabinet painting on those begins with a bonding primer. If a thermofoil door is already peeling at a lower corner, paint will not rescue it.
Some original Don Mills bathrooms still have a built-in plywood vanity that has been painted more than once. There, the work is mostly sanding down old layers before the new colour goes on. Those layers can hide dents and drips, so the cabinet painting quote allows time to level them first.
Booked alone, vanity cabinet painting generally comes in at several hundred dollars. It costs less when added to a kitchen job, because the kitchen already covers setup, masking and travel.
Buying a new vanity, plus a top, a faucet and plumbing work, costs several times as much. When the carcass is straight and the doors are solid, repainting is sound value rather than a compromise. Laundry cupboards often join a vanity booking, as described under laundry, pantry and built-in work.
Kitchen cabinets get handled all day but seldom get wet. Bathroom doors face daily splashing, towelling and steam, which tests a young coating hard.
A water-based enamel vanity should be treated gently for about seven days, and it takes around four weeks to harden fully. A humid Toronto summer can stretch both. Run the exhaust fan and keep showers brief during those first days. Hardware goes on last, because handles tightened onto soft cabinet painting will press marks into the finish.
Both work. We price one vanity as a short cabinet painting job by itself, or fold it into a kitchen booking to avoid another trip. Phone +1 (647) 370-5216, send a picture and measurements, or see our complete service list.
Wall units, vanities, laundry rooms, mudroom lockers and pantries in Don Mills bungalows get a kitchen-grade primer and spray.
Doors and drawer faces come down, get cleaned of grease, scuffed, primed for their substrate and sprayed with durable enamel, then go back up. Kitchen cabinet painting changes the colour of the entire room without touching the counters, the flooring or the floor plan.

Flat slab doors, clean lines and simple pulls make mid-century kitchens some of the best candidates for cabinet painting anywhere in Toronto. The job is about keeping the style of the house while giving the cabinets a hard, fresh finish.

Tannin inside oak stains water-based primer, and the deep pores telegraph through colour unless someone fills them. Oak cabinet painting starts with a stain-blocking primer and a decision about the grain.

Good wood can be kept in view by sanding or stripping the old finish, adjusting the stain and sealing it under a sprayed clear coat. Refinishing makes sense whenever the timber itself is more valuable than any paint colour could add.

Sprayed enamel lands as a fine fog that settles into a single even layer with no bristle tracks. Cabinet painting applied like this resembles a new factory door rather than a home repaint.
See Spray Painting
Glossy factory doors call for a specialty bonding coat, since standard primer has nothing to hold on to. Paint works well on sound melamine and laminate, and on thermofoil only while its vinyl skin is still tight.

Fresh doors can go onto your existing carcasses, and the frames are then painted or veneered so everything agrees. A single damaged door can also be replaced and sprayed with the rest of the kitchen during cabinet painting so it blends in.

People most often ask for pale upper cabinets above deeper lowers in sage, charcoal or navy, with the island carrying the darker shade. Painting just the island counts as a complete booking too.

Most condo galleys hold ten to fifteen doors and drawer fronts, so the work goes fast. Cabinet work in a tower runs smoothly once the elevator, parking and odour plan are agreed with the building.

Laundry uppers, pantry doors, entry lockers, shelving units and fitted wall cabinets are finished with the kitchen's exact primer and sprayed enamel. Because they are attached to the house, the work is done on site inside plastic sheeting.

Unused handle holes get plugged and hidden beneath the finish, while a jig places each new hole so pulls sit perfectly level. Loose hinges get swapped at the same time, since cabinet painting already has every door down.

Cream, greige, soft white, sage, charcoal and navy are the current favourites, yet a tiny store swatch proves almost nothing. We spray one of your doors in the actual cabinet painting colour and set it back in your room.
