A bathroom vanity gets the same degreasing, primer and sprayed enamel as a kitchen, with extra care for moisture and steam. No cabinet painting job in your home is smaller, and one or two days usually covers it.
Erin Mills homes from the 1970s through the 1990s often still have their original vanities. Oak, stained veneer and white melamine are the most common, and many sit next to a tub or shower that fills the room with steam every day.
Bathroom walls get wet now and then. A vanity gets splashed, wiped and handled every day. Toothpaste, soap, cleaners and hand lotion all sit on the finish.
We use a hard cabinet enamel or a two-part polyurethane on vanities, not wall paint. The primer matches the material, and the finish goes on in thin sprayed coats. This builds a surface able to handle splashes, wiping and constant use.
Oak vanities need a shellac-based primer to stop tannin from bleeding through, the same as oak kitchens. Stained veneer vanities from the 1970s need a careful sanding so the thin veneer is not cut through. Melamine vanities need a bonding primer.
We check the base of the vanity for water damage before quoting. A swollen bottom shelf or toe kick can be repaired or replaced before the cabinet painting starts.
Replacing a vanity drags in a new counter, basin, plumbing work and often floor repairs too. Cabinet painting keeps the vanity and top where they are and changes only the colour and finish.
Pairing a vanity with your kitchen keeps its cost down, since travel and setup are shared. Several vanities in one house can be done together in one visit.
Steam from showers slows the curing of fresh enamel. For several days after cabinet painting, keep the exhaust fan on and showers brief, or shower elsewhere if possible.
Fronts are finished at our booth and the base is coated where it sits. Most vanity work is finished in one or two days, with gentle use for about a week after.
Townhouse bathrooms in Erin Mills are usually compact, and the vanity sits in a tight space between the tub and the wall. That makes it hard to paint by hand without drips and missed spots. We remove the doors and drawers for spraying and mask the vanity box carefully in place.
We cover the tub, toilet, floor and mirror with plastic before any cabinet painting in the room. A fan in the window or the bathroom exhaust moves air out while we work. Powder rooms on the main floor are usually even smaller and follow the same careful steps.
We inspect the vanity, look for leak damage and write up a price without charge. Phone +1 (289) 206-9908, upload a vanity picture, or head to our Erin Mills home page. Whole kitchens are covered under kitchen cabinet painting.
The bathroom vanity, the laundry uppers and the hall shelving in a South Common town get the kitchen's exact coating system.
Kitchen cabinet painting puts fresh colour and a tough sprayed coat on the cabinets you already own, with counters, sink and boxes left in place. Doors come off, get cleaned, sanded and primed for their material, then return with two or three smooth coats.

Townhouse kitchens are compact, usually galley or L-shaped, and the cabinet painting work has to fit around shared walls, visitor parking and condo complex rules. The boxes stay in place, the doors leave for spraying, and the family keeps cooking.

Oak cabinet painting begins with shellac primer, which locks brown tannin inside the wood so it never stains your new colour. After that, deep pores are either packed flat with filler or allowed to show as soft texture.

Cabinet refinishing keeps the wood grain in view by stripping or sanding the old clear coat, adjusting the stain and spraying a fresh protective finish. It is the right choice over paint when the wood itself is worth showing.

Cabinet spray painting lays down thin, level coats of hard enamel that dry without brush marks or roller texture. In our cabinet painting work, doors get sprayed in a filtered booth and the boxes get sprayed at home behind plastic sheeting.

Glossy factory fronts accept new colour after hand scuffing and an adhesion primer built for plastic faces. Peeling thermofoil is different, so we strip or swap those fronts before cabinet painting starts.

Cabinet refacing hangs brand-new fronts on the boxes you keep, and those boxes get coated or skinned to match. It suits kitchens where the boxes are solid but the doors are damaged, dated in shape or too worn for cabinet painting alone.

Two-tone cabinet painting uses a darker colour on the island or lower cabinets and a lighter colour above. An island-only job brings in colour while leaving everything else alone.

Condo kitchens are small, and the cabinet work schedule has to follow building rules for elevators, loading and working hours. The doors leave the unit for spraying, so odour stays low and the kitchen keeps working.

Pantry units, laundry uppers, mudroom lockers and fitted shelving receive kitchen-grade primer and sprayed enamel. Adding them to kitchen cabinet work lowers the cost per cabinet and makes the whole house match.

Fresh pulls, knobs and quiet hinges complete a painted kitchen, and fitting them goes quickest with every front already down. Before cabinet painting, unused pull holes are packed and sanded so no trace survives under the colour.

Choosing a colour is easier with a real sprayed door in your kitchen than with a small paint chip. We spray a sample in the colour you are considering and leave it in your room so you can see it in your own light before the cabinet painting starts.
