Having an antique cabinet painted usually costs between €150 and €450, depending on the size, condition of the wood and desired finish. A small cabinet with few details is often quicker than a large cabinet with mouldings, panels or old paint layers. Materials such as degreaser, sandpaper, primer, lacquer or furniture paint may be added separately.
Painting an antique cabinet usually takes around 3 to 8 hours. The time depends on cleaning, sanding, repairing, priming and the number of paint layers. Due to drying time between primer and paint, the total turnaround time may be longer than the actual working time.
The tradesperson first checks the condition of the cabinet, the type of wood and any old paint or lacquer layers. The cabinet is then cleaned, lightly sanded and repaired or filled where needed. After that, the tradesperson applies a suitable primer and paint or lacquer, so the cabinet is finished neatly while keeping its character.
Zoofy works with screened tradespeople who are reviewed by previous customers. You can see who will carry out the job and rely on someone with experience in painting and furniture finishing. This helps ensure your antique cabinet is treated carefully and not damaged unnecessarily.
After the job, the tradesperson remains legally responsible for the work carried out. If you have also chosen the optional paid warranty package through Zoofy, that extra cover applies according to the package conditions. For questions about maintenance, drying time or the finish, you can contact Zoofy after the job.
Zoofy does its best to find a suitable tradesperson to paint your antique cabinet. Availability depends on your location, timing and the condition of the furniture. If no suitable tradesperson is available or the cabinet needs restoration first, this will be clearly communicated to you.
You pay only through Zoofy and never directly to the tradesperson in cash or by card. After the job is finished, you can easily pay via QR code. Payment by email invoice is also possible.
