The entry into your home will be one of those high traffic areas where scuffs and scrapes just tend to happen. Whether it’s just a few marks you need touching up, more significant damage that needs repairing, or a full colour change, We Restore Surfaces offer front door respraying or repainting with specialist exterior door paint.
Repainting your front door – How to achieve a flawless finish
The main benefit of getting an expert to repaint your front door is the professional-looking finish. Re-spraying (rather than using traditional roll-on paint) will give you a much smoother finish that’s even all over. Professionals like us use top-quality materials that stand the test of time.
Selling your property | How to improve kerbside appeal
First impressions are crucial. If you’re thinking about putting your house on the market, it’s a good idea to fix up the front of your property to improve its kerbside appeal. This is especially true in the highly residential areas of Sussex like Brighton and Eastbourne. If your property is the best looking on the street, potential buyers will get a great first impression when they come to view it. So, one of the first things to consider when tidying up the front of your property is your front door! A fresh and clean entryway suggests your home is well maintained inside, too.
If the front of your house needs a little more than a lick of paint, We Restore Surfaces also offer DOOR REPAIRS, TILE REPAIRS, and STONE AND BRICK REPAIRS.
Repairing exterior door wear and tear
Scuffs and scrapes | The greater the traffic in and out of your home, the more of a battering your front door will be taking! Every time you unlock your door, your keys can score the paintwork around the lock. This can produce scratches that accumulate and become noticeable over time. It’s also around the bottom of your door where you’ll see dents and damage having built up over the years too.
Smart doorbells | Unlike traditional doorbells, we see more Ring (and other smart doorbells) being installed directly onto the front door itself. When homeowners move house and remove these, often patches of damaged paintwork are left behind. If you can see marks on your door from a previous smart doorbell, avoid simply painting over them. These should be treated properly with any drill holes or indentations filled in, sanded and repainted, all before installing your new doorbell.
FAQs about exterior door respraying in Sussex
Can I repaint my front door myself?
Yes, you can absolutely repaint your own front door yourself with the right tools and materials. However, it’s worth considering the cost involved and the time it can take. Just remember that this is the kind of job you want to last, so it’s a good idea to do it properly the first time. Some things to remember if you’re doing a DIY front door repaint are:
It’s all in the prep | Clean, fill, remove hardware, sand, mask-off and prime. The prep is the most time-consuming part of the process but it really is the most important part to get right. Starting with a properly prepared surface will mean your paint goes on smoothly and with minimal imperfections.
Paint application | You can use a roller or get yourself a spray gun. Make sure you choose a quality and durable exterior paint. Each paint will differ with how it needs to be applied (drying time, number of coats etc), so be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
Why should I get my front door professionally repainted?
If done properly, this isn’t the kind of job that needs taken on very often, so for the cost of the gear you’ll need to get hold of, it may be worth spending the cash for someone to come and do it all for you. And of course, like with any major DIY task, getting the experts in gives you your time back.
However, the main reason for getting an expert to paint your front door is the flawless and professional looking finish you’ll achieve.
How long does a professional front door respray take?
The time it takes to get an exterior door repainted professionally really depends on the amount of damage that needs repairing. It’s this, along with the preparing and priming that takes the most time! It can be weather dependent too. Plus, drying time between coats of paint varies with brands.
But it’s safe to say, whatever state your front door is in, a professional will be able to complete the job within a day, and probably even within 2-4 hours.
How much does it cost to get my front door repainted?
It’s difficult to quote an exterior door repaint or respray without knowing a little more about it. The cost will depend on things like the size, the paint you choose and the severity of any damage. One thing is for certain – respraying your front door will be considerably more cost effective than replacing the door.
