A day or two, start to finish, on the smallest cabinet in the house. Steam and splashing drive the choice of primer and topcoat, and the finish needs its full cure before anyone starts wiping doors each morning.
Vanities are the most common add-on to a kitchen cabinet painting booking in Burlington, because the containment, the gear and the sprayed colour are already on site. An oak vanity in a Longmoor or Dynes bathroom almost always came from the same decade as the kitchen it matches.
A Bathroom Is Harder On A Cabinet Painting Finish Than A Kitchen
Steam condenses on every surface in a small bathroom twice a day, then dries off, then does it again. That cycle is harder on a coating than cooking splatter is, and it is why a bathroom cabinet painting job uses the same enamel systems a kitchen does rather than an ordinary interior paint.
Exhaust fans matter more than product choice. A vanity in a bathroom with a working fan and an open window will hold its finish for years, and a vanity in a sealed room with no extraction will not, whatever goes on it.
Oak, Thermofoil And Melamine All Turn Up On Vanities
An oak vanity built in the 1980s or 1990s needs the same shellac stain blocker an oak kitchen does, and the same choice about grain fill. The oak cabinet painting page covers both steps in detail.
Builder vanities from the 2000s are usually thermofoil over shaped board, and they lift around the sink for exactly the reason kitchen doors lift beside the dishwasher. Cabinet painting a vanity whose skin is peeling is not worth doing, and a replacement front on a sound box is generally cheaper than the repair.
A Vanity Is Quoted As Part Of A Kitchen Or As Its Own Small Job
Tacked onto a kitchen cabinet painting booking, a vanity comes to a few hundred dollars because the setup cost is already covered. As a stand-alone job it carries its own minimum, since the masking, the degreasing, the primer and the two trips for the doors all happen regardless of how few pieces there are.
Two vanities and a laundry cabinet quoted together cost far less than three separate visits. That bundling is the same reason the pantry, laundry and built-in cabinet painting page exists, and we price the whole list at one visit.
Hardware And Hinges Get Sorted While The Doors Are Off
Vanity doors are small enough that a knob in the wrong place is obvious, so redundant holes get plugged and filled ahead of primer, with new ones bored to a jig. Bar pulls on a vanity are easier to use with wet hands than a round knob is.
Soft-close hinges fit most vanity cabinets built after about 1995, and fitting them during a cabinet painting job, with the doors already off, adds almost nothing. Older face-frame vanities sometimes need a different hinge, which we confirm at the visit rather than on the day.

Bathroom Vanity Painting Questions
How long does vanity painting take?
A day, occasionally two. The finish needs its full cure before anyone starts wiping the doors each morning, because steam hits that cabinet every day. We use the same enamel systems a kitchen gets, not ordinary interior paint.
Can a thermofoil vanity be painted?
Only if the skin is still bonded. Builder vanities from the 2000s are often thermofoil and lift around the sink. A peeling one is not worth painting, and a replacement front on a sound box is generally cheaper than the repair.
Is it cheaper with a kitchen?
Yes. Added to a kitchen booking, a vanity comes to a few hundred dollars because setup is already covered. On its own it carries a minimum. Two vanities and a laundry cabinet quoted together cost far less than three separate visits.
