Popular Door Colours in Sunderland

  • Anthracite Grey

    This remains a very strong contender in Sunderland. It's a modern, sleek choice that complements the city's industrial heritage and the growing number of contemporary homes. You'll spot it on both new builds and renovated properties.

  • White

    A timeless classic that never goes out of style. White doors are consistently popular in Sunderland, providing a clean and fresh look that works well with the red brick prevalent in the city.

  • Black

    Black doors are becoming increasingly popular in Sunderland, adding a touch of sophistication and drama to homes. They offer a modern alternative to traditional colours and work particularly well with modern architecture and lighter brickwork.

  • Racing Green

    This vibrant shade is gaining traction in Sunderland, reflecting a growing interest in bringing nature-inspired colours into the urban landscape. It's a bold choice that adds personality and complements the city's green spaces and coastal setting.

  • Deep Red

    While classic red remains a popular choice, Sunderland homeowners are leaning towards deeper, richer red tones like burgundy or oxblood. These shades add a touch of sophistication and warmth, particularly to period properties.

  • Navy Blue

    This colour is having a moment in Sunderland! It's a strong and sophisticated choice that evokes the city's maritime heritage and complements the coastal environment. Navy blue offers a stylish alternative to black and works well with various architectural styles.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • How long does it take to paint a front door?

    Painting a front door typically takes 1-2 days. This includes preparing the door, applying primer, and painting several coats in your chosen colour. Drying time between coats can vary. Cold or damp weather in Sunderland might slow things down a bit.

  • How much does it cost to have my front door professionally painted in Sunderland?

    The cost depends on a few things, like the size of your door, what it's made from (wood, uPVC, etc.), and its current condition. In Sunderland, you can expect to pay somewhere between £100 and £300 for a professional service.

  • My front door looks a bit worn out. Can I just paint over the old paint?

    It depends how worn out it is! If the old paint is okay with just a few small cracks or chips, you can usually paint over it after cleaning and lightly sanding it. But if the paint is peeling or badly cracked, it's best to remove it completely before painting. This makes sure you get a smooth, long-lasting finish.

  • I'd like a bold new colour for my front door. Any suggestions on how to choose the right one?

    Definitely! Think about the style of your house and the colours of the bricks or walls around it. A bold colour can look great on any home, but it needs to fit in with the overall look. What kind of style do you want - classic and elegant, or modern and exciting? We can help you find the perfect colour.

  • Do I need a special type of paint for a front door?

    Yes, you need paint that can handle Sunderland weather! Exterior paints are tougher than interior paints. They're better at resisting fading, cracking, and peeling caused by rain, sunshine, and temperature changes. We always use top-quality exterior paints for a durable and beautiful finish.

  • I've heard about microporous paint. Is that a good choice for my front door?

    Microporous paint is a great option, especially in the UK! It lets the wood "breathe," which stops moisture from getting trapped and causing rot. It's also very durable and weather-resistant. We can help you decide if it's right for your door.

  • My front door is uPVC. Can you paint that type of door?

    Yes, definitely! uPVC doors can be painted, but they need a bit of extra preparation and a special type of paint. We have experience painting uPVC doors and can achieve a beautiful, long-lasting finish.

  • Will you paint the letterbox and door knocker as well?

    Of course! We can paint them to match your new door colour, or you can choose a different colour for a stylish look. We'll carefully remove them before painting and reattach them afterwards.

  • I'd like to get my front door painted. How can I arrange a quote?

    That's great! You can get a quote by calling us or using the contact form on our website. We can visit your home at a time that suits you.
