A vanity takes steam, splashes and hand cream every day, so it needs a harder finish and a proper cure before normal use. Vanity cabinet painting is normally a one- or two-day job and a fraction of what a replacement vanity costs.
Many Streetsville bathrooms still have the oak vanity that went in during the 1980s or 1990s. So are builder-grade melamine vanities in newer townhouses. Both take cabinet painting well with the right primer. Most people add the vanity to a kitchen job, since the setup is already in place.
Bathroom walls get wall paint. A vanity needs cabinet-grade enamel that cures hard and stands up to water.
We often suggest a two-part urethane for vanities. It hardens faster and resists moisture better than most other finishes. Standing water along the upper door edges does the most harm, so every edge gets full coverage. That is where cheap vanity cabinet painting fails first.
Oak vanities need the same stain-blocking primer as oak kitchen cabinet painting. A melamine vanity takes an adhesion primer first. Builder-stock MDF vanities need a sealer on any bare edges.
We check the vanity base for water damage before we quote. Swollen particleboard under the sink is common, and it cannot be fixed with paint. If the base is damaged, we can replace a panel or suggest a new base. Oak prep is explained further under oak cabinet painting.
Vanities are a good place to try a bolder colour. The piece is small, so a deep shade will not overwhelm the room.
Navy, deep green, charcoal and soft blue are popular vanity colours. They look good with white counters and chrome, brass or brushed nickel hardware. In older village homes, a muted green or grey often suits the age of the house. If the bathroom is small with no window, a lighter shade keeps it bright. We can spray a sample door so you can see the colour in your bathroom light. Vanity cabinet painting lets you change the look of the room without touching the tile.
Vanity cabinet painting booked alone is normally $450 to $1,000, and it costs less when it rides along with a kitchen. Buying and installing a replacement vanity, top and faucet usually costs several times that.
Painting keeps your counter, sink and plumbing in place. It is also faster, with less mess and no plumber. For many bathrooms, the vanity is the only thing that looks dated, so painting it changes the whole room.
Steam slows curing, so we ask you to use the bathroom fan and keep the vanity dry for the first week. Cabinet painting in a bathroom takes a little more patience than in a kitchen.
If you have only one bathroom, we plan the work so you can still use it each evening. Doors leave for the booth while the base gets sprayed where it stands in one short session. New knobs or pulls go on once the finish is hard. We describe knob and pull options in cabinet hardware and soft-close hinges.
Many bathrooms have a linen tower, an upper cabinet or a medicine cabinet beside the vanity. These can be painted at the same time so the whole room matches.
Linen towers are tall and anchored in place, so we spray them right there with plastic sheeting around them. Medicine cabinet doors can go to the booth. With the bathroom already masked, each added piece costs less. If a second bathroom has a matching vanity, painting both in the same visit saves time too. The cabinet painting quote prices every piece by itself, and you choose what stays in. A matching mirror frame can also be painted if it is wood.
We can paint a vanity as part of a kitchen job or as a small job by itself, and pricing it costs you nothing. Call +1 (289) 207-0024, arrange a vanity visit, or look through the Streetsville home page.
Vanities, pantries, laundry rooms, built-ins and islands are primed and sprayed exactly as Streetsville kitchens are.
We take every door and drawer front down, clean off the kitchen grease, prime for the real material underneath and spray a hard enamel finish. Kitchen cabinet painting recolours every cupboard in the room, and the counters, sink and floor never move.

Older village houses often hold cupboards and built-ins covered in decades of oil paint, and those layers need cleaning, testing and a bonding primer before anything new goes on. Heritage home cabinet painting gives that old woodwork a fresh, hard finish while keeping the trim, panels and shape that make the house what it is.

Oak pushes brown tannin stains up through ordinary primer, and its deep grain shows under colour unless it is filled first. Oak cabinet painting handles both with a tannin-blocking primer plus a decision about the grain before any coat goes on.

Refinishing removes a worn clear coat, refreshes or changes the stain, and seals the wood under a new sprayed clear finish. The grain stays visible, so when the timber is the best feature of the room, refinishing wins over cabinet painting.

Fronts are finished in our clean-air booth, and the boxes on your walls are coated at home inside a sealed plastic enclosure. Spraying lays each coat of cabinet painting down thin and level, so the finish reads smooth with no brush or roller marks.

Shiny factory doors will hold colour after degreasing, a fine scuff and a coat of adhesion primer meant for vinyl and plastic faces. Cabinet painting works on thermofoil only while the vinyl skin is still tight, so we check every door before we quote.

New doors and drawer fronts go onto the cabinet boxes you already have, and the boxes and frames are sprayed to match. On price and on how much changes, it falls somewhere between cabinet painting and a whole new kitchen.

Putting a deeper shade on the island or the base cabinets, with pale uppers above, adds depth to a room without any renovation. Two-tone cabinet painting needs two colours, two spray setups and a clear plan for where each colour goes.

Condo and townhouse kitchens are usually small, but building rules about elevators, parking, quiet hours and odour shape how the job runs. Condo kitchen cabinet painting sends the doors out of the unit to be sprayed, so the smell and the overspray never reach the shared halls.

Pantries, laundry cabinets, mudroom lockers, bookcases and fireplace built-ins are primed and sprayed with the enamel we use on kitchen doors. Most of these are fastened to the wall, so we do the cabinet painting where they stand, with taped plastic sealing off the room.
See Pantries and Built-Ins
Unused knob holes get plugged before primer, a jig guides every new pull hole, and tired hinges are replaced with the doors already down. Adding hardware to a cabinet painting job costs less than doing it later and gives the whole kitchen a finished look.

We spray one of your real cabinet doors in the shade on your shortlist and hang it back up for several days. Seeing a real sample under your own windows is the safest route to a cabinet painting colour you will still enjoy years later.
See Colour ConsultationWe visit, count every door, check the material and write the scope down for you. You pay nothing for either one.
Tell us about the cupboards, even roughly, and a visit gets arranged by phone. A name and a phone number are enough to send it. To speak with someone now, phone +1 (289) 207-0024.
