Door Painting Services
We paint every type of interior door found in Lincoln homes, from original period panelled doors to modern flush doors and built-in storage.
Interior Panelled Doors
Grantham and Gainsborough properties typically have four- or six-panel doors with original mouldings. These need hand painting to get into each groove and edge cleanly. A roller alone leaves paint pooling in the recesses. We work panel by panel, painting raised and flat sections in sequence. The result is a clean, even finish that respects the original joinery. We use satinwood or eggshell depending on your preference.
Flush Doors
Modern semis in Sale and Timperley often have smooth flush doors. Every imperfection shows on a flat surface, so preparation matters more than on a panelled door. We fill and sand before priming. Spraying gives a factory-smooth finish where brushwork would show marks. We advise on finish options during the site visit.
Door Frames and Architraves
Frames and architraves are the frame around the picture. Scruffy frames undo good wall painting immediately. We paint frames and architraves as part of every door job. Mitred corners are cut cleanly. Around hinges and locks, we brush by hand for precision. See our wood painting page for broader interior woodwork projects.
Whether you need a single door refreshed or every door in the house repainted, we handle the preparation, priming, and finish coats to a consistent standard.
Specialist Door Types
Beyond standard interior doors, we handle fitted wardrobes, built-in storage, and fire doors across Lincoln properties.
Wardrobe and Built-in Doors
Fitted wardrobes and alcove cupboards in Edwardian and Victorian properties are often original joinery worth preserving. We assess the timber condition and choose the right primer before coating. MDF and modern flat-panel wardrobe doors get a different approach. Edges need sealing first to prevent porous ends absorbing paint unevenly.
Fire Doors
Fire doors are heavier and are not always removable. We paint them in place using professional techniques that achieve a good finish without compromising the door’s integrity or seals. For front door painting on exterior timber, uPVC, and composite doors, see our dedicated page.
Every specialist door type gets the right preparation and primer for its material and condition.
