Kitchen and bathroom cabinets refinished in hard-wearing enamel, with every door and drawer removed, cleaned, primed and painted properly.

Painting cabinets is detail work. Kitchen cabinets are handled every day and collect grease, so paint only lasts when the prep is done right. We remove and label every door, drawer and hinge, degrease and sand every surface, prime with a bonding primer and finish with a cabinet-grade enamel. The result is a smooth, durable finish and a kitchen that looks new, without the cost and mess of tearing out cabinets.

  • Bathroom vanities

Cabinet Painting Prices

Cabinet painting is priced by the number of doors and drawers, their condition, whether you are changing colour, and whether the cabinet boxes and island are included. Every job starts with a free on-site visit and a fixed-price written quote, so the price we quote is the price you pay. To get a head start, tell us roughly how many doors and drawers you have in our quote form.

Our Cabinet Painting Process

  1. Free estimate and colour choice. We look at your cabinets, check the material and condition, and help you choose a colour and sheen.
  2. Protect the kitchen. Counters, floors, backsplash and appliances are covered and taped.
  3. Doors, drawers and hardware off. Everything is removed and labelled so it goes back exactly where it came from.
  4. Degrease and clean. Kitchen grease is the main reason cabinet paint fails, so every surface is thoroughly cleaned.
  5. Sand and repair. We scuff-sand for grip and fill dings and scratches.
  6. Bonding primer. A primer made to grip cabinet surfaces goes on before any colour.
  7. Two coats of cabinet enamel. A hard-curing enamel for a smooth, wipeable finish.
  8. Reinstall and walkthrough. Doors, drawers and hardware go back on and are adjusted, then we walk through the result with you.

Paints Made for Cabinets

Regular wall paint stays soft and chips on cabinets. We use hard-curing cabinet and trim enamels from brands like Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, Cloverdale and Behr, in satin or semi-gloss so they wipe clean. We can match any colour from these brands.

How Long Does Cabinet Painting Take?

Most kitchens take several working days, because each coat of primer and enamel needs time to dry before the next. You can usually keep using your kitchen during the project. Enamels keep hardening for a few weeks afterwards, so we will tell you how gently to treat the doors at first.

Cabinet Painting FAQs

Is painting cabinets cheaper than replacing them?

Usually, yes. Painting keeps your existing cabinet boxes, doors and countertops in place, so you avoid demolition and installation costs. Your fixed-price quote will show exactly what it costs.

What kinds of cabinets can be painted?

Solid wood and MDF cabinets paint very well. Laminate can often be painted with the right bonding primer. Peeling thermofoil usually cannot be painted successfully. We check your cabinets at the free estimate and tell you honestly.

Can we use the kitchen during the project?

Yes, for the most part. Doors and drawers are off for a few days, but you can still use your sink, fridge and stove.

Do you paint the inside of the cabinets?

Most clients paint the doors, drawer fronts and cabinet exteriors. We can paint the interiors too and will include it in your quote if you want it.

What happens to my handles and hinges?

We remove, store and reinstall your existing hardware, and adjust the doors so they close properly.

Can you paint bathroom vanities too?

Yes. Vanities, laundry cabinets and built-ins use the same process and can be added to the same quote.
