What Changes the Cost of Vanity & Cabinet Painting
- Bathroom humidity. A vanity lives in a far wetter room than kitchen cabinetry and needs a coating that suits it.
- Existing finish. Thermofoil and laminate vanities are much less reliable to paint than timber or MDF.
- Piece count. Doors, drawer fronts and the cabinet frame are each handled individually.
- Preparation. Degreasing, deglossing and priming are the bulk of the work.
- Spray or brush. Spraying gives the smoothest finish and needs masking or off-site work.
Vanity & Cabinet Painting Questions
Is painting a vanity different from painting kitchen cabinets?
The room is the difference. A bathroom vanity faces steam and standing water at the base, so the coating has to tolerate humidity and the base edges need particular attention. The preparation is otherwise similar.
Can a laminate vanity be painted?
It is possible but far less reliable than timber or MDF. Adhesion on laminate and thermofoil is the weak point, and edges are where failure starts. We will tell you honestly whether your unit is a good candidate.
How long is the bathroom out of use?
Less than you would expect if doors and drawer fronts are sprayed off-site and the frame is finished in place. The coating still needs time to harden before heavy use, and we will give you the real dates.
Should I paint or replace the vanity?
If the box is sound, the size works and the layout is fine, painting is excellent value. If the base is swollen from water, the storage does not work, or the plumbing needs attention anyway, replacing is the better spend.
Will the colour hold up over time?
With a proper coating and preparation, yes. The most common cause of early failure is water sitting at the base and around the sink cutout, so those areas get particular attention during finishing.
