Residential Case Study
Bathroom Cabinet Painting & Refinishing
Turn your bathroom into a space you love without breaking the bank. By maintaining the quality of your existing cabinetry and updating the finish, homeowners can achieve a completely refreshed look without the cost of a full renovation. When paired with new hardware, painted bathroom cabinets can create a clean, updated style that transforms the entire room.
In this recent Winter 2026 project, CertaPro Painters® of Boca Raton, FL completed cabinet refinishing work across two separate homes, transforming multiple bathrooms with durable, modern finishes tailored to each homeowner’s vision.
Project Overview
- Location: Boca Raton, FL
- Project Type: Bathroom Cabinet Painting & Refinishing
- Surfaces Painted: Bathroom vanity cabinets and drawers
- Season Completed: Winter 2026
- Estimated Timeline: Typically 4 to 6 days (depends on the number of vanity cabinets, drawers, and the amount of prep required)
The Challenge: Both homes featured original stained bathroom cabinetry that had experienced years of wear and tear from daily use. The existing surfaces showed visible scratches, discoloration, and finish deterioration. Because the cabinets had previously been stained and sealed, extensive preparation was needed to ensure proper adhesion and a long-lasting finish.
One of the key challenges involved evaluating each surface to determine whether the primer was properly adhering to the cabinetry. In some cases, this required using a different primer to achieve the best possible bond and finish performance.
The Project Scope: This cabinet painting project included multiple bathroom vanities across two different homes. One home included four bathrooms, each receiving updated cabinet finishes. The other home included a primary bathroom vanity refinishing project with a bold, dramatic color selection.
Color Selections
Home One
- One bathroom vanity was painted Sherwin-Williams Extra White SW7006
- Another bathroom vanity was updated in a gray finish
- The primary bathroom vanity was painted Sherwin-Williams Analytical Gray SW7051
Home Two
- The primary bathroom vanity was painted Sherwin-Williams Inkwell SW6992
These two homes highlight how cabinet refinishing can support very different design goals, from bright and classic white cabinetry to rich, bold black finishes.
Process: To achieve a smooth, durable finish, our team followed a detailed cabinet refinishing process designed to protect the surrounding space and prepare the cabinetry correctly from the start.
- Covered all adjacent surfaces, including walls, ceilings, and surrounding bathroom areas
- Removed all cabinet doors and drawers and carefully labeled each piece for accurate reinstallation
- Cleaned all cabinet surfaces thoroughly using denatured alcohol or a degreaser
- Sanded the cabinetry to remove the existing polyurethane clear finish
- Completed an additional fine layer of stain removal as needed
- Applied primer coats designed for adhesion and durability
- Applied finish coats for a smooth, updated appearance
Special Equipment & Techniques: This project required the use of a High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) spray system during both the preparation and paint application process. This technique helps create a more even, consistent finish on cabinetry and supports the smooth appearance homeowners expect from professionally refinished bathroom vanities.
The Results: These bathroom cabinet painting projects gave both homes an updated, customized appearance without the need for full cabinet replacement. By preserving the existing cabinetry and refinishing the surfaces, each homeowner was able to improve the look of their bathrooms in a cost-effective way.
From clean white finishes to sophisticated gray tones and bold black cabinetry, these projects demonstrate how cabinet painting can breathe new life into worn bathroom vanities while complementing a wide range of design styles.
