Garage Door Painters in Bath

Timber garage doors are the most common type on properties built before the 1990s. Left untreated, bare timber absorbs moisture and begins to swell, split, and rot at the joints and bottom rail.

We strip back loose and flaking paint, sand the surface, and apply the correct exterior primer before the topcoat. Timber doors need a flexible exterior finish to handle seasonal movement without cracking.

Painting a timber garage door costs a fraction of replacement. A properly prepared and painted door can last eight to twelve years before needing attention again.

Metal up-and-over and sectional steel doors are durable but vulnerable to rust at any chips or scratches. Once rust takes hold at a break in the surface, it spreads quickly beneath the surrounding paintwork.

We treat any rust with a rust converter before applying a metal primer. A gloss or satin exterior finish follows, with modern metallic or contemporary colours available in trade paints formulated for metal surfaces.

GRP (fibreglass) composite garage doors are increasingly common on newer properties. Standard paint will not bond to GRP without the correct preparation, and any topcoat applied without a specialist primer will peel within a season.

We use specialist GRP primers that key the surface before the topcoat. The finish is hard-wearing and resistant to UV and weathering, which matters on south and west-facing garage doors.
