Front Door Painting Services
Timber Front Door Painting
Original timber front doors are usually painted in oil-based gloss or specialist breathable exterior finishes. For exterior timber finishes, see our wood painting page.
Colour Choice and Kerb Appeal
A well-chosen front door colour significantly affects a property’s street presence. See our exterior painting page for the wider exterior context. For window frames, see our window frame painting page.
UPVC and Composite Door Painting
UPVC and composite doors can be painted where the existing surface is sound. A specialist adhesion primer is essential before topcoat. Robin Decorators also covers garage door painting.
Door Furniture
Your decorator removes door furniture before painting and refits it when the topcoat is dry. This avoids shadow lines.
The Front Door Painting Process
1. Condition Assessment
Your decorator inspects the door, identifies preparation requirements, and discusses colour and finishes options.
2. Furniture Removal
All hardware is removed before any preparation begins.
3. Preparation
Flaking paint is removed. Bare areas are filled, sanded, and primed.
4. Undercoat and Topcoat
One undercoat and one or two topcoats depending on the colour change.
5. Hardware Refitted
Door furniture is replaced when the topcoat is fully dry.
