Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 5,120 properties around Hornsea centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Hornsea, uPVC first; GRP and steel doors, frames and side panels get their own primers, and handles and letterboxes come off rather than being masked.
- uPVC doors: sprayed with Kolorbond-certified coatings made to bond to uPVC and guaranteed for 10 years; the usual replacement door on the 20.5% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 1,000 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 14.5% of Hornsea properties built since 2000, about 740 homes.
- Timber and hardwood doors: grain filling, primer and topcoats for a smooth, brush-free face, from £250; original timber doors are most often found on pre-1919 houses, 22.7% of properties here or roughly 1,200.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Hornsea homes means for your front door
22.7% of the 5,120 properties around Hornsea centre pre-date 1919 (close to the 21% average) and 12.9% were built between the wars. On those roughly 1,800 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
29.3% of local properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 20.5% from 1973 to 1999, 49.8% together, close to the 45% average. Doors on those roughly 2,500 homes were very often replaced with white uPVC in the 1980s and 1990s, and white uPVC of that age tends to yellow, chalk or dull.
14.5% of properties, about 740, are post-2000, below the 17% average; on those a builder-fitted composite or GRP door is likely, and composite doors respray from £200.
For comparison, 21.3% of properties in Hutton Cranswick (12 miles away) and 24.2% in Nafferton (12 miles) pre-date 1919, so Hornsea has a similar share of period housing. Since 2000 the figure is 14.5% here, 23.8% in Hutton Cranswick and 22.4% in Nafferton. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 49.8% here, 53.0% in Hutton Cranswick and 51.6% in Nafferton.
Who lives in Hornsea, and what that changes
68.8% of the 4,699 households in Hornsea live in detached or semi-detached houses, against 58% across all our towns. Where one of these roughly 3,200 homes has a garage, the front door is often seen next to the garage door, so it is worth choosing both colours together; we can do the garage door in Hornsea on the same visit.
72.4% of households own their home and 17.2% rent privately, against averages of 63% and 19%. If you own, it is worth spraying the frame at the same time, while landlords of the roughly 1,300 rented homes here may prefer one hard-wearing colour so touch-ups stay simple.
Choosing a door colour for Hornsea
Because Hornsea mixes 22.7% pre-1919 homes with 64.3% built after 1945, there is no single local colour, so hold our sample cards against your own brick or stone in daylight, or use our colour matching service to copy a shade from a photo or a neighbour's door.

Front Door Spraying Prices and Process
Spraying versus a new door
Our service page puts a new composite door at £800 to £2,500 supplied and fitted, and a new uPVC door at £600 to £1,500, against from £200 to respray, though replacement still makes sense when a door is warped, draughty or its locks are failing (our article on front door replacement versus spraying goes through the trade-offs).

Is my Hornsea front door likely to be uPVC, composite or timber?

Only with permission. 17.2% of Hornsea households rent privately and 10.1% from a council or housing association (Census 2021), and in those homes the door belongs to the landlord.
