Garage Door Painting Services
Cambridge’s Victorian and Edwardian semis in Romsey and Cherry Hinton frequently have original timber doors, while newer Trumpington Meadows and CB1 developments tend toward steel or composite. Both material types require correct preparation if the finish is to last.
Timber Garage Doors
Timber garage doors are common on pre-1990s properties. Moisture absorption leads to swelling, splitting, and eventual rot at chips and joints.
We strip loose paint, prime correctly, and apply a flexible exterior finish that moves with the timber through the seasons. Painting costs a fraction of replacement and a well-prepared door lasts eight to twelve years.
Metal and Steel Doors
Metal doors are durable but vulnerable to rust at scratches and chips. We treat rust before applying a metal primer and a gloss or satin exterior finish.
Contemporary colour options are available to update the look of your property.
GRP and Composite Doors
Standard paint will not bond to GRP without correct preparation. We use specialist GRP primers that key the surface before the topcoat.
The result is UV-resistant and hard-wearing.


uPVC Doors and Exterior Repaints

uPVC Doors
uPVC doors can be painted with plastic-bonding primer systems where the door is structurally sound. We advise on suitability before starting.
Combining with an Exterior Repaint
A freshly painted house with a faded garage door undermines the result. We coordinate garage door work with exterior painting projects.
Call 01223 912776 to combine both in one visit.
Here’s How It Works
1. Door Assessment
Material type, paint condition, any rust or damage checked before quoting.
2. Surface Preparation
Loose paint removed, rust treated, surface cleaned and abraded.
3. Priming
Correct primer for the door material, applied and fully dried.
4. Paint Application
Two finish coats applied. Best season for exterior work: March through October.
5. Final Inspection
Edges, panels, and junctions checked. Touch-ups done before leaving.
