Bathroom vanity painting is one of the most cost-effective updates a Boston homeowner can make. A dated oak or painted vanity can look brand new with a professional spray finish — for a few hundred dollars versus $1,000+ for a new vanity.
Bathroom vs. Kitchen Cabinets
Bathroom vanities face more moisture exposure than kitchen cabinets. Steam from showers, splashing from the sink, high humidity — the paint and primer choices need to account for this. We use moisture-resistant cabinet enamel on all bathroom work, typically Benjamin Moore Cabinet Coat or a comparable product with strong moisture resistance.
What Makes a Good Vanity Painting Candidate
Solid wood or plywood vanities paint best. MDF and particleboard can swell with moisture and aren't ideal for painting in wet environments. We assess at the estimate visit and advise honestly — sometimes a new vanity is the better call if the existing one has water damage or structural issues.
Color Options
Vanity painting is popular for updating builder-grade oak vanities to modern colors — white, off-white, navy, sage green. These color updates cost $400-$800 for a standard single-sink vanity and transform the whole bathroom. Benjamin Moore's color advice tools can help you visualize new colors before committing.
