Steel and Metal Garage Doors
Steel up-and-over and sectional metal doors are the most common type across Swansea’s interwar and post-war housing stock. Any chip or scratch exposes bare metal to moisture, and once rust takes hold it spreads beneath the surrounding paintwork.
Daffodil Decor treats rust with a rust converter before applying a metal primer. The finish coat is formulated for exterior metal, available in gloss or satin including anthracite grey, black, and heritage greens.
GRP and Fibreglass Garage Doors
GRP composite doors are increasingly common on newer properties across Swansea. Any topcoat applied without a specialist GRP adhesion primer will begin to lift within months.
We apply a specialist adhesion primer that creates a surface bond on the fibreglass before the topcoat. South and west-facing doors, exposed to Gower’s Atlantic weather, benefit most from a UV-resistant topcoat.
Timber Garage Doors
Timber up-and-over doors are common on properties built before the 1980s. Left untreated, timber at the bottom rail and joints absorbs moisture, swells, and eventually begins to split and rot.
We strip back loose and flaking paint, sand the surface, and apply the correct exterior primer before the topcoat. Timber needs a flexible exterior finish to handle seasonal movement without cracking.
Repainting a sound timber door costs a fraction of replacement. With proper preparation, it can last eight to twelve years.

uPVC Garage Doors
uPVC doors can be painted using a plastic-bonding primer system. Where the door is structurally sound, this is a cost-effective way to update the colour rather than replace the door entirely.
We advise honestly on whether painting is the right option before starting. If the door shows signs of structural deterioration or mechanical failure, we say so.
Matching the Frontage
Garage doors are often the last element to be updated on an exterior refresh. A freshly painted facade with a faded, mismatched garage door undermines the overall result.
Daffodil Decor regularly paints garage doors alongside front door painting to bring the whole frontage into a consistent scheme.
How It Works
1. Door Assessment
We check the surface condition, material type, existing paint adhesion, and any rust or damage before quoting.
2. Surface Preparation
Loose and flaking paint is removed, rust is treated on metal doors, and the surface is cleaned and abraded to create a key.
3. Priming
The correct primer for the door material is applied and allowed to dry fully before any topcoat.
4. Paint Application
Two finish coats are applied by brush and roller or spray, depending on door type and condition.
5. Final Check
All edges, panels, and junctions are inspected. Any touch-ups are completed before we leave.
