It usually takes around 1-2 days to paint a front door. This includes preparing the door, applying a primer, and then adding a few coats of your chosen colour. The drying time between coats can vary, and things like cold or damp weather can slow down the drying process.

The cost of painting your front door can depend on a few factors, such as the size of your door, the material it's made from (wood, uPVC, etc.), and the condition it's currently in. In Reading, you can generally expect to pay between £100 and £300 for a professional front door painting service.

Whether you can paint over the existing paint depends on its condition. If the old paint is in reasonable condition with just a few minor cracks or chips, you can usually paint over it after giving it a good clean and a light sanding. However, if the paint is peeling, flaking, or badly cracked, it's best to remove the old paint completely before applying new paint. This ensures a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Definitely! It's a good idea to consider the style of your house and the colours of the surrounding brickwork or rendering. A bold colour can look fantastic on both traditional and modern homes, but you'll want to make sure it complements the overall look. Think about the kind of style you want to create - classic and elegant, or modern and eye-catching? We're happy to offer a colour consultation to help you find the perfect shade.

Yes, it's important to use exterior-grade paint that's designed to withstand the weather. Exterior paints are much tougher than interior paints, and they're better at resisting fading, cracking, and peeling caused by rain, sunshine, and temperature changes. We always use top-quality exterior paints to ensure a durable and beautiful finish.

Microporous paint is an excellent option, particularly for doors in the UK! It allows the wood to "breathe," which prevents moisture from getting trapped and causing rot. It's also very durable and weather-resistant. We can advise you on whether microporous paint is the best option for your particular door.

Yes, absolutely! uPVC doors can be painted, but they need a bit of extra preparation and a specific type of paint to ensure it adheres properly. We have experience in painting uPVC doors and can achieve a beautiful, long-lasting finish.

Certainly! We can paint your letterbox and door knocker to match your newly painted front door, or you can choose a contrasting colour for a stylish accent. We'll carefully remove them before painting the door and then reattach them once the new paint has dried.
