How much does it cost to have a bathroom vanity painted by a professional in New Brunswick?

Professional bathroom vanity painting in New Brunswick typically costs $400-800, depending on the size of the vanity, the number of doors and drawers, the current finish, and whether the cabinet boxes and frames are included. This is one of the most affordable professional painting upgrades available for an NB home.

A standard single-sink bathroom vanity with 2-3 doors and 1-2 drawers falls in the $400-550 range. A larger double-sink vanity with 4-6 doors and multiple drawers runs $550-800. The price reflects labour time for proper prep, priming, spray or brush application, and reassembly.

What the professional process includes: A good painter will remove all doors and drawers, clean and degrease every surface, lightly sand to scuff the existing finish, apply a bonding primer, and then apply two coats of a specialty cabinet paint — typically Benjamin Moore Advance or Sherwin-Williams ProClassic at $60-90/gallon.

For older NB homes — especially bathrooms in Moncton, Fredericton, and Saint John built in the 1970s-1990s with dark oak or laminate vanities — painting is an incredibly cost-effective update. A $500 professional paint job on a dated oak vanity, combined with new hardware ($50-150), can make a bathroom look completely renovated for under $700 total.

Colour choice matters in bathrooms. Whites and soft greys are the most popular choices. A satin or semi-gloss finish is standard for bathroom vanities because it’s easier to wipe down and resists the daily moisture that NB bathrooms generate.

Before spending $400-800 on a vanity repaint, make sure your bathroom has adequate ventilation — a properly vented bathroom will make the paint job last 8-12 years rather than 3-4.
