Door Painting Services
Door material, construction, existing coating, damage and the faces requested are checked before preparation is proposed.
Interior Panelled Doors
Panelled doors are checked for coating build-up, damaged edges, moulding detail and hardware. Preparation, application method and sheen are selected for the door and compatible product instructions.
Flush Doors
Flush doors are identified by material and construction, then checked for coating condition, edge damage and hardware before a finish is proposed.
Door Frames and Architraves
Door frames and architraves are included only where recorded in the written quote. Preparation around hinges, locks and mitres depends on their condition and the agreed finish. See our wood painting page for broader interior woodwork guidance.


A quotation can cover one door or several, with preparation and finish recorded for each door type.
Other Door Materials
Ask your decorator to confirm whether the requested work is suitable for the door and its safety requirements.

Wardrobe and built-in doors may be timber, MDF, laminate or another material. The decorator identifies the material, checks edges and existing coatings, and specifies preparation only where repainting is suitable.
