Repair A Water-Damaged Bathroom Vanity Front

Bathroom vanities made of stained wood often have damaged finish on their front from water splashing down over a period of years. Rather than replace the vanity it may be possible to repair the finish and get some more life out of it. This is not a complete refinishing project, but just a way to patch the finish for a reasonable repair. I'll show you the process in this video from the color matched glaze to the clear coat finish.

Is it the same process for lighter wood?

Of course there are differences among wood species, and they will take stains or even clear finishes differently. That said, the basic process is the same. It may be trickier to get the color right on a lighter wood because you can't just cover up imperfections with a dark glaze. Practice on a scrap or on the inside of the cabinet or drawer where it doesn't show.
