Front door spraying and new hardware for a complete new look
When was the last time you really looked at your front door? For most homes, the front door is the first thing people notice and it can say a lot about the rest of the property. If your door’s looking a bit tired or outdated, you don’t necessarily need to fork out for an expensive new one. Front door spraying, combined with new hardware like handles, letterboxes, and knockers, can completely transform your entrance without the hefty price tag.
In fact, the average cost of a brand new front door in Swansea ranges from £1,000 to £2,000, depending on materials and style. By comparison, professional front door spraying often costs just a fraction of that, typically between £150 and £300. It’s no wonder more homeowners are turning to spraying and cosmetic upgrades as a smart, stylish alternative.
Can you spray the door slab and frame?
Absolutely, both the door slab and the frame can be sprayed. And right now, there’s a growing trend in mixing and matching colours. Instead of spraying everything one uniform colour, many people are choosing a bold, standout shade for the door slab itself, and a contrasting tone for the frame. This subtle design move really helps your front door pop and adds a bit of architectural interest to the exterior.
Whether you’re going for classic black, deep navy, heritage green, or something a bit more daring like burnt orange or ochre yellow, we’ve got the colour range to suit. With high-quality spray finishes that are UV-resistant and built to last, your freshly coated door won’t just look good – it’ll stay that way for years.
Is it just the door you can change?
Here’s where things get exciting. It’s not just the slab and frame we can spray to give your front door a new lease of life, even though that’s usually all it takes. We can actually change out the door handle, knocker, and letterbox, too. These small upgrades make a massive difference. Swapping tarnished chrome for sleek matt black or brushed brass, for example, can instantly modernise your entrance.
New hardware can give your door a completely different personality. Want something traditional? Go for aged pewter or antique bronze. Prefer a contemporary look? Sleek minimalist stainless steel fittings might be more your thing. And if you’ve got an older door with vintage character, we can help you match the right finish to retain that charm.
Can you change the hinges as well?
We often get asked about changing the hinges and the answer is yes, but only in certain cases. Generally speaking, hinge replacement is possible on older timber or UPVC doors, where the hinges are more accessible and replaceable. Newer composite doors, on the other hand, usually come with integrated or concealed hinge systems that aren’t so easy to swap out.
That said, hinge replacements are quite rare and not something we regularly offer. If you’re specifically looking to change the hinges as part of your door upgrade, it’s best to get in touch with us first, so we can check your specific door type and advise accordingly.
What about the glass - Can that be changed too?
Changing the glass panels on a front door is possible, but again, it depends on the type of door you have. Older doors, especially wooden ones, often have removable glazing that can be replaced without too much hassle. You can upgrade to patterned, frosted, or even stained glass panels to add style or privacy.
However, modern composite doors usually have sealed units that are not designed to be taken out or replaced. This means we don’t typically offer glass replacement for newer doors, as the work involved can risk damaging the structure of the door itself. If you’re unsure, let us know the make and model (or send us a photo), and we’ll let you know what’s possible.
Why choose front door spraying over buying new?
The main reason is simple: cost. As mentioned earlier, replacing a front door entirely can set you back well over a grand, and that’s before you even factor in fitting, delivery, and disposal of the old door. Front door spraying in Swansea, on the other hand, can deliver stunning results for a fraction of the cost.
But it’s not just about money. Spraying your existing door is also:
- Faster – Most jobs are completed in a single day
- Eco-friendly – Reusing your current door means less waste going to landfill
- Customisable – You choose the exact colour and finish to match your style
- Low-disruption – No need to rip out and replace your door
Combine the respray with new handles, a fresh knocker, and some updated hardware, and your home gets a whole new vibe.
A fresh entrance, without the hassle
We believe that a home’s entrance should feel warm, welcoming, and reflect your personality. A tired door can give the wrong impression, but that doesn’t mean you need a whole new one. Front door spraying and some carefully chosen new hardware can give your home a fresh, modern entrance without breaking the bank.
Here’s the thing: a front door makeover isn’t just about paint. Sometimes it’s the details, the satin finish of a new handle, the satisfying weight of a modern knocker, or the crisp clean lines of a newly sprayed frame. Add a couple of smart planters, maybe a modern house number plaque, and suddenly it feels like you’ve moved into a new home.
What to expect from a professional front door spraying service
When done properly, spraying a front door isn’t just about slapping on a coat of paint. It’s a precise process. The surface needs to be cleaned, sanded, and prepped properly to ensure the paint adheres and lasts. We only use top-quality coatings designed specifically for exterior use, resistant to flaking, fading, and the ever-unpredictable UK weather.
Most spraying jobs are completed in just a few hours. We’ll carefully mask off any surrounding areas to prevent overspray and make sure the finish is as smooth and even as you’d expect from a factory-finished door. If you’re adding hardware too, we’ll work with you to select styles and finishes that work perfectly with your home’s exterior.
Conclusion
If your front door has seen better days but still functions perfectly, don’t rush to replace it. With professional front door spraying, a few key hardware upgrades, and a touch of creative styling, you can achieve a completely new look that feels bespoke and high-end, without the high-end price tag.
