Is this cheaper than replacing a garage door or gates?

Usually much cheaper than replacing the metalwork, when it is sound. We tell you at the visit if something genuinely needs replacing rather than restoring.

Do you take the door or gates off?

No. They are sprayed in place, with the surrounds, glass and brickwork masked off first.

How long does it take and how messy is it?

Most homes are done in a day. We sheet up, mask off and leave the site clean, with before and after photos.

How long will the finish last?

Typically 5 to 7 years on sound metalwork, depending on the aspect and exposure. We are straight about what to expect before we start.

What can you restore?

Powder coated garage doors, gates, railings, fences, and aluminium or metal window and door frames.

Do you cover my area?

Yes, we restore powder coated metalwork for homes across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

01 / service

When the finish has gone but the metalwork is sound.

A garage door, gates or railings have faded, chalked or gone patchy.
Replacing the metalwork is quoted at far more than a respray.
The colour no longer matches the windows or front of the house.
You want it looking right again without weeks of disruption.

02 / the finish

Why a powder coated finish fades, and what it takes to bring it back.

Powder coat breaks down from the outside in. Done properly with a two pack system it holds for years; done badly it fails within a season. The preparation and the colour match are the whole job.

Sunlight

South and west facing doors and gates chalk and lose colour depth first as UV breaks the original coating down.

Adhesion

A topcoat sprayed without a proper tie coat over a keyed surface peels. We test the existing coat holds before committing.

Colour match

An eyeballed colour ages oddly next to the windows and door. We match it properly and check it before spraying.

Film build

Too thin and it will not last, too heavy and it sags. The matched topcoat goes on at a controlled thickness.

03 / process

Colour matched at your home. Restored in place.

Free home visit

We look at the metalwork, match the colour and check the existing finish is sound. If something genuinely needs replacing, we say so.

Colour match

We match your colour on site so the door, gates or railings sit right against the windows and the house.

Protect and prep

Surrounds, glass and brickwork masked off, then the surface cleaned and keyed so the new finish bonds.

Spray on site

A two pack system sprayed in place at the correct build, with most jobs finished in a day and nothing removed.

Tidy handover

Masking removed, everything checked and wiped down, site left clean, with before and after photos.

Powder coated frame restored to a matched colour finish

The result

Faded metalwork, back to a matched colour

The surface is cleaned back, keyed and resprayed in place to a colour matched to the rest of the house, so it blends in and holds for years on sound metal.
