Can a bathroom vanity top be painted?

Great Answer

Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

On One Hand: Custom Bathroom Decor

Painting a bathroom vanity top is possible, and can give your bathroom a custom look. It is also a cheaper alternative to replacing your vanity, and can give even better results. Also, there are special paints available that are durable and water-resistant enough to stand up to common bathroom use for many years.

On the Other: A Long Process

The process of painting a bathroom vanity top is not easy, and can take a few weekends. Though this may work well for some, unless you have a spare bathroom to use, it can be difficult actually getting the vanity painted. Before you can paint the vanity, you need to lay down a floor covering, remove the hardware, faucet and knobs from your vanity, clean and sand the vanity thoroughly and prime it.

Bottom Line

While it can take a week or so to finish painting a bathroom vanity top, the custom finished look is worth it for most people. The time needed to paint the vanity may be also worth spending when compared to the cost of replacing the vanity.
