Door Painting Services

Interior Door Painting

Interior doors in period properties have a specific painting sequence. Moulded recesses first, then rails and stiles. We use oil-based or water-based eggshell or satin depending on the finish required. We also offer dedicated garage door painting services.

External Door Painting

External doors face rain, UV, and temperature change. We use a weather-resistant primer on bare timber and a suitable exterior topcoat. See our front door painting page for front entrances.

Panelled Door Sequence

Original Victorian panelled doors have raised surrounds with recessed cavities. We assess whether stripping back is required before repainting.

Glazed and French Doors

We apply masking tape to the glass edge and remove it while the paint is slightly soft. For French doors, we treat each face with the appropriate product. See our exterior painting page.

Here’s How It Works

1. Door Assessment

We check existing paint condition, look for soft timber, and discuss colour and finish preferences.

2. Surface Preparation

Sanding to key the surface. Filling holes or dents. Stripping heavily built-up profiles if required.

3. Masking

All door furniture masked. Glazed panels masked with tape applied to the glass edge.

4. Paint Application

Moulded recesses first, then rails and stiles. Two coats of topcoat with sanding between.

5. Inspection

Masking removed at the correct stage. Door checked for runs and missed areas.

Door Painting Costs in Oxford

Door painting in Oxford typically ranges from £80 to £220 per door depending on complexity.

Panel Complexity

A flush door takes less time than a four-panel Victorian door with moulded surrounds.

Preparation Needed

Stripping built-up profiles or repairing soft timber adds time.

Interior vs Exterior

Exterior doors require a different primer and topcoat system. Call 01865 537996 for a precise quote.
