Re: How to fix chipped drawers in bathroom?

Hello @yazzag 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your bathroom drawers.

 

It is difficult to tell from the photos if the drawers are wrapped or painted. If it has been painted, it is possible to do a temporary repair patch using Parfix 500g Ready To Use Multipurpose Filler - 500g. You can fill the damage with the filler and wait for it to cure and then you can sand it down into shape.

 

The main issue is paint matching. Due to the age and location of the drawer, it will be extremely difficult to match its, colour. I propose cleaning the front of the drawer and bringing it to the store and see if the paint specialist can do a close colour match to the drawer's finish. 

 

If the paint specialist says it can't be matched, I propose using an off-white colour to paint the filler. Please keep in mind that this is a temporary repair and eventually the paint will fade and need to be touched up every now and then.

 

If the cabinet door is wrapped, it will need to be replaced with a new drawer front.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric
