Coloured UPVC Front Doors: Best Colours & Your Options in 2026

Coloured UPVC Front Doors: Best Colours & Your Options in 2026

A coloured front door is one of the quickest ways to lift a home’s kerb appeal — and you do not need a new door to get one. If your existing UPVC or composite door is structurally sound, our UPVC spraying service recolours it on-site in any shade you like, for a fraction of the cost of replacement. Over the past year we have sprayed hundreds of front doors across Southampton, Portsmouth, Winchester and the wider Hampshire area. Here are the colours homeowners are choosing right now.

Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016)

By far the most requested colour, anthracite grey works with almost every style of property — from Victorian terraces to new-build estates, and especially against red or buff brick. It is dark enough to make a statement without the maintenance concerns of pure black, and pairs beautifully with both white and grey window frames on composite and UPVC doors alike.

Black (RAL 9005)

A timeless classic that never goes out of fashion. Matt black front doors have become hugely popular on period properties and modern homes alike, and look especially sharp on white render and pale brick. The key to a great black door is a quality coating that stays truly black and does not fade to a patchy grey — which is exactly what our polyurethane system delivers.

Slate Grey (RAL 7015)

A softer alternative to anthracite, slate grey is popular on homes where the brickwork or render is lighter in tone. It gives a contemporary feel without being as bold as the darker greys. We are seeing this colour chosen a lot in newer developments around Eastleigh, Chandler’s Ford and Hedge End.

Chartwell Green

This heritage sage green has become the go-to choice for period properties, cottages, and homes in the New Forest and rural Hampshire. It gives a traditional country look that complements red brick, flint and rendered walls. Chartwell green also works well on conservatory frames and garden room doors.

Navy Blue (RAL 5011)

Deep navy is a rising trend for homeowners who want something distinctive without being too bold. It works particularly well on Georgian and Edwardian properties with white or cream surrounds. We have sprayed several navy front doors in Winchester and Romsey recently and the results are striking.

Bolder Options: Greens, Blues & Softer Tones

Racing green, deep heritage blues, sage and even dusky pink are all on the rise for period-style frontages and warmer, on-trend welcomes. Because we spray to any RAL or BS reference, you are not limited to a manufacturer’s standard swatches — the door, its frame, and even the surrounding windows can be brought into one coordinated colour scheme.

How Front Door Spraying Works

• Clean, degrease and lightly key the door so the coating bonds properly.
• Mask the glass, handles, letterplate and frame edges for a crisp finish.
• Spray a UV-stable topcoat in controlled passes — matt, satin or gloss.

The door stays on its hinges, most jobs are completed in a few hours, and the result is an even, factory-grade finish rather than the brush-marked look of hand-painting.

What Does a Coloured Front Door Cost?

Spraying a single front door is a small fraction of the cost of a replacement composite door, with no removal, no waiting on a made-to-order unit, and no disruption. Exact pricing depends on the door’s condition and whether you recolour the frame and surrounding windows at the same time — our guide to UPVC spraying costs in Hampshire covers typical pricing, and a free survey gives you a fixed written quote.

How to Choose Your Colour

If you are unsure, we offer a free colour consultation as part of the survey — sample swatches held against your brickwork, and advice on what complements the property. You can also try shades on a door before committing with our online colour preview tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you spray a composite front door, not just UPVC?

Yes. We coat UPVC, composite and aluminium doors using primer and topcoat systems suited to each material.

Will the colour last?

Yes. A properly prepared, UV-stable coating holds its colour for years and can be refreshed later if you fancy a change. The finish is backed by a written guarantee.

Can you match my windows to the door?

Absolutely. Spraying to any RAL or BS reference means the door, frame and windows can all share one consistent colour scheme, applied in the same visit.

How long does front door spraying take?

Most front doors are completed in a few hours, on their hinges, with the house occupied as normal throughout.
