Garage Door Painting Specialists
Steel and Metal Doors
Steel up-and-over and sectional panel doors are the most common type on properties built from the 1970s onwards. Any chip or scratch that breaks the paint surface creates an entry point for rust.
We treat rust patches with a rust converter before applying a dedicated metal primer. Contemporary dark shades are the most popular updates: anthracite grey, black, and heritage green.
GRP and Fibreglass Composite Doors
GRP composite doors are standard on newer properties. Standard exterior paint will not bond to GRP without the correct preparation. We use a specialist GRP primer that keys the surface before the topcoat.
Timber Garage Doors
Timber doors are most common on properties built before the 1980s. We strip back loose paint, sand the surface, and apply the correct exterior primer. A flexible exterior finish is essential for timber doors.
uPVC Garage Doors
uPVC garage doors can be painted using plastic-bonding primer systems where the door is structurally sound. This is a cost-effective update rather than a full replacement.
Matching Your Garage Door
Painting the garage door at the same time as the rest of the exterior gives the most consistent result. See our exterior painting page for the full scope.

Our Garage Door Painting Process
1. Door Assessment
We check the material type, surface condition, existing paint adhesion, and any rust or damage before quoting.
2. Surface Preparation
Loose paint is removed, rust is treated on metal doors, and the surface is cleaned and abraded for adhesion.
3. Priming
The correct primer for the door material is applied and allowed to cure fully.
4. Paint Application
Two finish coats are applied by brush and roller or spray, depending on the door type and your preference.
5. Final Inspection
All edges, panels, and junctions are checked. Touch-ups are completed before we leave.
