- Interior door and door frame repainting
- Panelled doors and flush doors
- Door frames and architraves
- Fire doors and wardrobe doors
Victorian terraces in Broadwater on Broadwater Street have original four-panel internal doors. Decades of overpaint buildup means casings and door edges are often thickened, causing binding. Correct preparation involves stripping back before repainting rather than adding another coat.

Door Painting Services
Interior Flush Doors
Flush doors are smooth, simple surfaces that paint well and look clean when finished. Your decorator paints flush doors to match or contrast with the surrounding walls.
Flush doors benefit from a clean, professional finish. Your decorator sands and primes them carefully.
Panelled Doors
Panelled doors are more complex than flush doors due to the panel detail. Each panel edge requires careful hand-cutting to achieve a clean finish.
Period panelled doors in Broadwater often have decades of overpaint buildup. Your decorator strips these back carefully to reveal the door’s true dimensions before repainting.
Door Frames and Architraves
Door frames and architraves (the trim around doorways) are painted as part of the door scope. Clean lines where frame meets wall create a finished appearance.
Architrave moulding requires hand-cutting to avoid splatter. Your decorator masks and cuts precisely.
Fire Doors
Fire doors require specialist finishes that maintain their fire rating. Your decorator paints fire doors with finishes that do not compromise their function.
Wardrobe and Built-in Doors
Fitted wardrobe doors are painted as part of bedroom or bedroom repaints. Your decorator paints wardrobe doors in coordinated colours with the room.
Here’s How It Works
1. Door assessment and preparation planning.
Your decorator visits and assesses door condition, type (flush or panelled), and existing finish. If doors are heavily layered with old paint, your decorator discusses stripping options.
2. Removal if needed.
Heavily painted period doors are sometimes removed and worked on flat. This allows better access to all surfaces and more efficient work.
3. Surface preparation.
Paint buildup is stripped if needed. Doors are sanded to accept new primer. Cracks and damage are repaired.
4. Priming and painting.
Appropriate primer is applied based on material (timber, MDF). Two finish coats are applied with adequate drying time.
5. Rehang and final adjustment.
Once dry, doors are rehung. Hinges are checked and adjusted if needed. Doors are checked to close smoothly.
Door Painting Costs in Worthing
Cost Factors
Prices below are estimates only. Every door is different.
Interior door and frame repainting typically costs between £80 and £140 per door, depending on panel count and preparation needed.
Three things drive the price:
Door type. Flush doors are quicker than panelled doors. Panel count affects time required.
Paint buildup. Doors with decades of overpaint take longer to prepare. Light repainting is quicker.
Removal versus in-situ. Removing and working on doors flat costs more but results in higher quality finish. Working in-situ is more economical.
Trade insight. Broadwater Victorian doors often have significant paint buildup. Stripping these doors before repainting reveals their true character and dimensions.
Typical ranges:
Single flush door and frame (light prep): £80 to £120.
Single panelled door and frame (Broadwater Victorian, moderate prep): £120 to £180.
Multiple doors (full interior doors in one area, economy pricing per door): £80 to £140 per door.
