Bristol’s Garage Door Painting Specialists
Timber Garage Doors
Timber garage doors are most common on properties built before the 1990s. Left untreated, bare timber absorbs moisture and begins to swell, split, and rot at the joints and bottom rail.
We strip back loose and flaking paint, sand the surface, and apply the correct exterior primer before the topcoat. Properly prepared, a timber garage door holds its finish for eight to twelve years.
Metal and Steel Doors
Metal up-and-over and sectional steel doors are durable but vulnerable to rust wherever the surface is chipped or scratched. We treat any rust before priming and apply an exterior-grade finish.
GRP and Composite Doors
GRP composite garage doors are standard on newer properties across Bradley Stoke, Westbury-on-Trym, and Henleaze. Standard paint will not bond to GRP without the correct preparation. We use specialist GRP primers.
uPVC Doors
uPVC garage doors can be painted using plastic-bonding primer systems. Where the door is structurally sound, painting offers a cost-effective update rather than full replacement.
Matching the House Exterior
The garage door is often the forgotten element in an exterior repaint. A freshly painted house with a faded or mismatched garage door undermines the overall result. We coordinate garage door painting with wider exterior painting projects.
Our Garage Door Painting Process
1. Door Assessment
We check the surface condition, material type, 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 — timber, metal, GRP, or uPVC — is applied and allowed to dry fully.
4. Paint Application
Two finish coats are applied using brush and roller or spray finish, depending on the door type.
5. Final Inspection
We check all edges, panels, and junctions. Touch-ups are completed before we leave.
