London Cabinet Painting sprays kitchens, vanities, islands, pantries and built-ins across London, St. Thomas, Strathroy, Komoka, Ilderton, Dorchester, Thorndale, Lucan, Mount Brydges and Arva. Full insurance covers every job we do. Because cabinet painting is our only trade, the talk at the visit is about your oak, your thermofoil or your maple, not about paint in general.
The kitchens set the work. A golden oak kitchen in Oakridge needs a shellac primer and a decision about grain fill. A thermofoil kitchen in Summerside needs a bonding primer and an honest look at the doors beside the range. A cherry kitchen in Masonville may not need cabinet painting at all. Telling those apart before writing the quote is most of the job.
When a cabinet painting job peels off the cutlery drawer inside a year, the cause was almost always there on day one: grease trapped beneath the primer, sanding skipped, a primer wrong for the material, wall paint on a door, or thick coats put to work before curing. Not one of those is visible when the doors are rehung. Every one of them is visible by the second winter.
So each door gets a label, comes off, and meets a solvent degreaser before any sandpaper touches it. Primer follows the material: shellac for oak and cherry, an adhesion primer for laminate, melamine and thermofoil, and a plain bonding coat for maple or previously painted MDF. In the booth the doors receive thin sprayed coats, each one scuffed lightly before the next, and they sit on racks until hard enough to travel. Back in the kitchen, the boxes go through the identical steps inside a plastic enclosure. A two-door vanity and a forty-door kitchen follow the identical routine.
One number beside the words "paint the kitchen" is not a quote anyone can compare. What we write out instead is the door and drawer tally, the material we found, which primer that calls for, which topcoat system, how many coats, how many days on site and how many days the doors spend away, and then the price, with grain fill, a second colour, hardware drilling and interiors each on a separate line. Bring us a competing cabinet painting quote and we will match its scope item for item so you can read the pair side by side. The services page describes each kind of work in full.
If cherry or walnut cabinets deserve refinishing instead of paint, we say so and steer you to refinishing rather than a painting quote. When a thermofoil door is already peeling and paint cannot save it, we say it needs stripping or a new door, as described under refacing and door replacement. When a sink base has swollen, we say the kitchen needs replacing, not painting. And when the golden oak on the oak cabinet painting page looks better with its grain showing than with a day of filler on the bill, we say that too. A cabinet painting company willing to paint whatever is put in front of it is not the one to let into your kitchen.
Touch-dry takes an hour for a sprayed enamel, and full hardness takes a month. The care sheet that comes with every job says what that means in practice: soft cloths, no abrasive pads, no kitchen degreaser, no heavy pot lids left on a door, and gentle closing until the finish has cured. A two-part polyurethane shortens that to a couple of days. The care sheet arrives together with a written workmanship warranty, and the walkthrough explains both.
The visit is on us, and the quote comes in writing. Call +1 (226) 271-3465 or reach us through the contact page, and if you want the whole story of cabinet painting in a London kitchen before we arrive, the home page tells it.
Any of these thirteen services can be booked across London, St. Thomas, Strathroy and Middlesex County.
Kitchen cabinet painting keeps the kitchen you have: doors, drawer fronts and boxes are each prepped to suit their material, then sprayed with a hard enamel in a fresh colour, for far less than replacing anything.

A spray gun lays hard enamel onto cabinet doors in thin, even passes that a brush cannot match, leaving a factory-smooth surface with no ridges, stroke marks or drips where grease can gather or chips can start.

Refinishing suits cabinets built from wood too good to hide. Stripping or sanding removes the tired old finish, a new stain goes on if a different colour is wanted, and a hard clear coat locks the grain in.

Golden oak from the 1980s becomes a current painted kitchen through oak cabinet painting: tannins get sealed under a shellac primer, the open grain gets filled or stays on show, and a hard sprayed enamel goes over top.
See Oak Cabinets
Slick factory surfaces such as thermofoil, melamine and laminate shed ordinary paint, so this kind of cabinet painting starts with an adhesion primer that grips them, followed by a sprayed enamel topcoat that holds for years.

Refacing hangs brand-new doors and drawer fronts on cabinet boxes still worth keeping, or replaces a lone damaged door, after which every piece is sprayed at once so the whole kitchen reads as one matched set.
See Refacing and New Doors
A two-tone kitchen sets a light painted perimeter against an island done in stained wood, charcoal, green or navy, and the island can be done as part of the whole kitchen or sprayed by itself as its own small job.

Condo kitchen cabinet painting suits a galley with somewhere between ten and fifteen doors, respects the building's rules on hours, elevators and parking, and sends the doors away to the booth so the suite remains livable while the work is done.
See Condo Kitchens
Painting a bathroom vanity takes a day or two: its doors, drawer fronts and box get the full kitchen prep and a sprayed enamel that tolerates steam, at a fraction of a kitchen's size and price.

Rental property cabinet painting gives landlords a durable, sprayed, wipe-clean kitchen finish between tenants, priced per unit and scheduled around move-out dates, with hardware and hinge fixes done at the same visit.
See Rental Properties
Tall pantries, laundry and mudroom cabinets, wall units, bookcases and fireplace mantels are built into the house, so instead of going to a booth they get sprayed in position behind sealed plastic, using the same hard enamel a kitchen gets.
See Pantries and Built-Ins
Hardware and hinge work rides along with a painted kitchen: abandoned handle holes get filled and sanded smooth, a drilling template places the new ones, soft-close hinges replace the tired originals, and the metal finish is picked to suit the colour.
See Hardware and Hinges
Colour and sheen get settled before any cabinet painting begins, on full-size sample doors sprayed in the actual product and left standing in the actual kitchen, with the colour matched from whichever paint deck the owner prefers.
