Garage Door Painting Services in Leicester
Steel and Metal Garage Doors
Steel up-and-over and sectional doors are the most common type on Leicester’s postwar and 1960s to 80s estates. Metal surfaces are vulnerable to rust at any chip or scratch. We treat any rust with a rust converter before applying a specialist metal primer and gloss or satin finish.
GRP and Composite Doors
GRP composite garage doors are increasingly common on newer properties. Standard paint will not bond without correct preparation. We apply a specialist GRP primer that keys the surface. The result is hard-wearing and resistant to UV.
Timber Garage Doors
Timber up-and-over doors are common on Leicester’s interwar stock. Left untreated, bare timber absorbs moisture and begins to swell, split, and rot. We strip back loose paint, sand, and apply the correct exterior primer. A properly prepared timber door can last eight to twelve years.
uPVC Garage Doors
uPVC garage doors can be painted using a plastic-bonding primer system. A respray can take it from dated white to a modern grey or black to match updated window frames.
Matching the Garage Door to the House
A freshly painted house with a faded garage door undermines the whole result. We coordinate garage door painting with wider exterior painting projects where timing and access allow. Call 0116 493 0990 to discuss combining both into one visit.
Here’s How It Works
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 is applied and allowed to dry fully.
4. Paint Application
Two finish coats are applied using a brush, roller, or spray finish depending on the door type and condition.
5. Final Inspection
We check all edges, panels, and junctions before we leave.
