How to fix the cabinet damaged by water overflow?

I just bought a unit and found that the bottom of the cabinet was damaged by water previously. (see photos)

May I know how can I fix it?

Re: How to fix the cabinet damaged by water overflow?

Hi @Keithsun,

 

It appears that the trim's surface has reacted to moisture exposure. You could sand the areas smooth with 180-grit sandpaper, as it looks quite rough, and paint themwith Dulux 325g Duramax Metallic Silver Spray Paint and Rust-Oleum 340g Canyon Black Satin 2X Ultra Cover Paint+Prime Spray Paint.

 

Depending on the level of damage to the cabinet, this might only be a temporary solution, but it will certainly look much better than the current appearance. 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for your help.

I have already completed the repairing. 

it was a little bit too close to use spray for painting, so the finishing are not even at all, but still acceptable.
