When prepared and applied correctly using furniture-grade primers and topcoats, a professional refinish is extremely durable and virtually indistinguishable from a factory finish. Doors and drawer fronts are degreased with sugar soap or TSP, sanded through P120 and then P240, primed to the substrate and built up in multiple topcoats with light sanding between each. A bathroom vanity is the hardest test of that sequence — it lives in a humid room and is wiped down with cleaning products — which is why the degreasing and the adhesion primer matter more there than the topcoat does. For East Finchley (N2) properties such as inter-war semis and Victorian terraces, we adapt the same principles to local building fabric and access.

A single vanity unit is usually one to two days. A run of fitted wardrobes, a study wall or a set of built-in bookcases is quoted after survey, because the door count and the amount of in-situ carcass work vary enormously. Doors and drawer fronts come off and are sprayed while the carcasses and frames are prepared in place, so the room stays usable throughout, with the joinery itself out of action rather than the space.
