Your Door
Front Door Painters for Timber and uPVC Doors
Timber Front Door Painting
Earlsdon has been a conservation area since November 2022. The council’s appraisal lists uPVC doors among the changes that harm Earlsdon’s character. An original timber door there is worth keeping.
Where paint is peeling or failing, Ryan strips back to sound timber. Glazing bars and panel detail get a small brush, so the door keeps its character.
uPVC Front Door Painting
Ryan brush-paints uPVC front doors that are in sound condition. Paint will not hold on uPVC without a specialist adhesion primer and a compatible finish coat, so the primer comes first. He gives you an honest view at the site visit on whether your door suits repainting.
Brush is the default finish. Ryan can take on the odd small spraying job, so ask at the visit. Nothing is promised until he has seen the door.

Colour
Choosing a Front Door Colour
The front door is the first thing anyone sees of the house, so settle the colour before any paint goes on.
Period properties in Earlsdon and Kenilworth suit heritage colours. Blues, greens, deep reds and black all have period precedent. Ryan brings colour cards to the site visit and confirms your choice in writing before work starts. For the rest of the frontage, see exterior painting, or garage door painting for a matching door.
Porch
Porch Surround and Step Painting
A freshly painted door beside a tired porch only looks half done. Ryan can paint the porch surround walls, the threshold step and any adjacent masonry with the door, where your agreed scope includes them. If the rest of the house needs work too, house painting covers the whole job.
The Process
The Front Door Painting Process
Front door quality is decided at the preparation stage. A door painted without stripping and priming is the one that peels early.
1
Site visit
Ryan inspects the door, checks the state of the existing paint, notes any damage and confirms the colour.
2
Preparation
Peeling or failing paint is stripped back to sound timber. Damage is filled and sanded flush, and glazing is masked for clean lines.
3
Priming
Bare timber gets a full exterior wood primer. Sound painted surfaces get an adhesion undercoat, and uPVC gets its specialist adhesion primer.
4
Topcoats
Two coats of exterior gloss or satin go on by brush in your confirmed colour. Each coat cures before the next.
5
Final inspection
Ryan checks the door, frame and any porch work in good light, and confirms the door closes and seals correctly.
Costs
What Front Door Painting Costs in Coventry
Most people ask what a front door costs before anything else. The honest answer is that it is priced from a visit, because two similar doors can need very different work. Ryan then gives a written quote for the agreed scope.
Four things move the price:
- Timber condition. Stripping back to bare timber adds time and cost.
- Door complexity. A period door with glazing bars and panel recesses takes longer than a flat door.
- Material. Timber and uPVC doors are prepared and primed differently.
- Scope. Adding the porch surround, the step or the inside face changes the quote.
