Melamine & Laminate Cabinet Painting in Toronto & the GTA

Melamine and laminate preparation

Adhesion begins before the finish is applied

Melamine and laminate are smooth factory-made surfaces, so ordinary wall-paint preparation is not enough. The surface must be thoroughly cleaned, assessed, mechanically prepared where appropriate and paired with a compatible bonding system. The accepted quote confirms the process selected for the materials found in your kitchen.

Suitable cabinet condition

The surface layer and cabinet structure both need to be sound

A new finish cannot repair an unstable substrate. P2D checks for peeling laminate, lifting edges, water swelling, damaged seams and loose surface layers before recommending the service. Localized repairs may be possible when included in the scope; widespread failure may require new fronts or replacement components.

• ✓Firm edges and surface layers without widespread lifting
• ✓Structurally sound doors, drawer fronts and cabinet boxes
• ✓No unresolved leaks, swelling or severe heat damage

Painting, refacing or replacement

Choose the option that matches the condition and design goal

Paint suitable melamine or laminate when the existing profile and layout work. Choose refacing when the boxes are sound but the fronts are failing or you want a different door style. Replace damaged boxes when moisture, structure or layout problems cannot be solved through surface preparation.
