Garage door spraying strips back a faded or rusting door, treats any corrosion, primes the metal or uPVC and applies a tough weather-resistant colour coat. A single door usually takes half a day to a day, and transforms the front of a property for a fraction of replacement cost.
Garage doors and roller shutters live outside, get handled daily and are often the largest single surface facing the street — which is why a faded door drags the whole property down, and a freshly finished one lifts it instantly.
Doors we spray
Up-and-over steel doors, sectional doors, roller shutters, side-hinged timber and uPVC doors, and commercial shutters all take a sprayed finish well. Steel doors with surface rust are the most common job: the rust is mechanically removed, treated and sealed before priming, stopping it returning under the new coating.
The process
Assess & treat corrosion
Rust is sanded back, treated and sealed; dents and damage are noted and addressed.
Degrease & key
The whole door is degreased and abraded for adhesion.
Mask surrounds
Frames, brickwork, driveway and adjacent surfaces are fully protected.
Prime
A metal- or PVC-specific primer is applied depending on the door construction.
Spray topcoats
Weather-resistant colour coats are sprayed evenly across panels and profiles.
Function check
The door is operated through its full travel to confirm nothing binds and every edge is finished.
Matching the whole frontage
The most popular request is matching the garage door to newly sprayed windows — anthracite grey ties the two together and modernises the frontage in one move. Front doors, gates and railings can be finished in the same visit. See our window spraying guide for how the two jobs combine.
Frequently asked questions
Can rusty garage doors be sprayed?+
Yes — surface rust is removed, chemically treated and sealed before priming. Heavily perforated panels are the only ones we'd advise replacing.
How long until I can use the door?+
Normally the same day. Fast-curing coatings mean the door can be operated within hours, with full hardness developing over the following days.
Do you spray roller shutters slat by slat?+
The shutter is sprayed in a controlled sequence through its travel so every slat and interlock is coated evenly, with the guides and box masked.
What colours are available?+
Any RAL colour in matt, satin or gloss — anthracite grey, black and agate grey are the most requested for garage doors.
