Fixing steam damage on Cupboards


Recommended Posts

After almost 8 years, our kitchen units are still in great condition, other than a couple of areas that needed some attention.

We have two cupboards above the hob at each side. They get plenty of steam from cooking and the edge of the white coating was starting to bubble...

I've only photographed one side here, but the same work has been done to the cupboard on the other side as well.

I used a Dremel to remove the affected material, then filled it with car body filler.

After cutting the aluminium profile to fit, I primed and spray painted them with Tamiya gloss white, giving them plenty of coats. The paint finish turned out really nice.

I then used epoxy resin glue to attach them to the cupboard. The glue also seals all along the bottom edge so no more steam or moisture will get to it.

 

Here is the end result.
