Highly Recommended
Much of the work here comes from repeat clients and referrals.
Door Painting Services
Your decorator paints every door type found in the area. Panel doors in Pilton’s Victorian terraces, flush doors in Roundswell estates, glazed doors in Braunton bungalows. Your decorator knows which preparation each type needs and how to get a clean, lasting finish.


Interior Flush Doors
Modern flush doors are common in Roundswell and Whiddon Valley homes built from the 1980s onwards. Flush doors need flawless preparation because their flat surfaces show every imperfection under light. Your decorator uses fast-cure satinwood or eggshell for a clean result with no brush marks.
Panelled Doors
Victorian and Edwardian panel doors appear throughout Pilton and Barnstaple town centre properties. Each panel section and moulding requires careful brush work. For exterior door painting, see our front door painting page.
Door Frames and Architraves
Frames and architraves take daily contact: fingermarks, scuffs, and general wear accumulate fast. Your decorator paints frames and architraves as part of every door job, masking glass panes, hardware, and adjacent walls carefully. Your decorator does not leave a freshly painted door against a tired frame.

Wardrobe Doors, Fire Doors, and Cupboards
Built-in storage doors are easy to overlook, but they cover large wall areas in bedrooms and hallways. Fire doors are heavier and often have intumescent strips that need protecting during painting.
Wardrobe and Built-in Cupboard Doors
Your decorator paints cupboard doors in situ or removes them temporarily for a better finish where access allows. MDF doors get specialist edge primer to prevent the raw edges absorbing paint unevenly. Your decorator colour-matches to existing woodwork throughout the room. For bedroom door and wardrobe work, see our bedroom painting page.
Fire Doors
Your decorator works around fire seals carefully and uses appropriate paint systems that do not compromise the door’s fire rating. Your decorator does not strip or alter intumescent strips. Any door with damaged strips is flagged to the homeowner before your decorator starts. For full interior painting projects, see our interior painting page.

Here’s How It Works
1. Assessment
Your decorator checks every door: condition of existing paint, any damage, and whether the door hangs correctly. Doors that stick or bind are noted before painting starts.
2. Preparation
Surfaces are sanded, filled, and cleaned. Old gloss is keyed so new paint adheres properly. Glazed sections and hardware are masked off.
3. Priming
Bare timber and MDF edges get the correct primer for the material. This step is what separates a lasting finish from one that peels within a year.
4. Painting
Your decorator applies two coats of satinwood or eggshell. Each coat is allowed to cure fully before the next. Fast-cure paints mean doors are back on their hinges the same day.
5. Check and Rehang
Your decorator checks every door opens and closes freely after painting. Touch-ups are done before your decorator leaves.
Door Painting Costs in Barnstaple
Prices below are estimates only. Every job is different. Call 01271 444479 for a precise quote.

What Drives the Cost
The number of doors affects the per-door cost: painting a full hallway set of five or six doors is more efficient than a single door in isolation. Door type matters: panelled doors with deep mouldings take longer than flat flush doors. Condition also affects price: heavy paint build-up, damage, or deep scratches add preparation time.
Typical Ranges
Single flush door (Roundswell or Whiddon Valley): £60 to £90 including frame and architrave. Panel door (Pilton or Barnstaple town centre Victorian): £90 to £130 depending on moulding complexity. Full hallway set: 5 doors (frames and architraves included): £400 to £600 for a well-maintained property.
