One or two days covers a vanity from doors off to hardware back on, which makes it the smallest cabinet painting job on the list and the simplest one to add to a kitchen booking.
Most houses here hold three of them. A four-bedroom home in Jefferson or Bayview Hill typically has an ensuite vanity, a main bathroom vanity and a powder room, all installed in the same year and the same material as the kitchen.
Bathrooms Punish Cabinet Painting Harder Than Kitchens Do
Steam is the difference. Twice a day the room swings from dry air to saturated air, water pools at the counter edge and runs down a door front, and the cabinet under the sink sits beside a trap that has probably leaked at some point.
Cabinet painting in that room therefore leans on harder coatings. A 2K polyurethane and a waterborne alkyd enamel each cure to films that shed water rather than soften under it, and each is sprayed thin with a sand between coats so the film stays tight at the edges where moisture attacks first.
Swollen Particleboard Will Not Take Cabinet Painting
A vanity base that has swelled under a slow leak is past the point of cabinet painting. The particleboard has absorbed water, lifted at the seams and lost its grip on the screws, and paint over it simply seals in the damage.
That gets flagged at the visit rather than discovered halfway through, and the choices get laid out. A single swollen door or gable can be replaced and sprayed in with the rest. A base that has come apart is a replacement, and that is honest advice even when it costs the job. Sound bases with surface damage only get filled, sanded and sprayed as usual.
Thermofoil Vanities Are Everywhere In The 2000s Houses
White thermofoil vanities went into thousands of homes in Oak Ridges, Westbrook and the Elgin Mills subdivisions during the 2000s, usually paired with a wood kitchen. Given a bonding primer they accept cabinet painting while the vinyl stays attached, and the page on slick factory doors covers what happens when it does not.
Oak vanities from the 1990s need the shellac primer treatment against tannin, exactly as the kitchen does. Grain fill is optional on a vanity and most people skip it, since a bathroom door is seen from much closer than a kitchen door but far less often.
Vanity Cabinet Painting Costs Less Alongside A Kitchen
A vanity painted during a kitchen cabinet painting job adds a few hundred dollars, because the containment, the sprayer and the coating are already on site. The same vanity done as a standalone visit costs more per door, since the setup is the same whether there are four doors or forty.
Ontario cabinet painting ranges put a single vanity somewhere between $400 and $900 for a standard two-door base, with larger double vanities and drawer banks above that. Those are market figures. Each bathroom is priced on its own line in the written quote, so any of them can be dropped.

Bathroom Vanity Painting Questions
How long does a vanity take?
One or two days covers doors off to hardware back on. Doors go to the booth while the base is degreased, primed and sprayed in place. Booking the vanity during a kitchen job is simplest, because containment, sprayer and coating are already on site, which is why the price drops.
Will the finish stand up to steam?
A 2K polyurethane or a waterborne alkyd enamel cures to a film that sheds water instead of softening under it. Each is sprayed thin with a sand between coats, so the film stays tight at the edges where moisture attacks first. Written care notes cover the first month.
What if the vanity base has swollen?
Paint cannot rebuild particleboard that has swelled under a slow leak, so it gets flagged at the visit. A single swollen door or gable can be replaced and sprayed in with the rest. A base that has come apart needs replacing. Sound bases with surface damage are filled, sanded and sprayed.
