We respray front doors in Hull on site from £200 for a standard uPVC or composite door, usually in one day; Hull is 61 miles by road (about 1 hour 11 minutes) from our workshop in Sheepscar, Leeds.
Hull has a mixed housing stock, 19.9% of its 125,050 properties pre-1919, 22.1% from 1973 to 1999 and 12.7% since 2000, so timber, uPVC and composite doors are all common and we bring the primer for each; see the full front door spraying service or our notes on spraying uPVC front doors.

Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 125,050 properties across the Hull City Council area, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Hull, 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 22.1% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 28,000 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 12.7% of Hull properties built since 2000, about 16,000 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, 19.9% of properties here or roughly 25,000.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Hull homes means for your front door
19.9% of the 125,050 properties across the Hull City Council area pre-date 1919 (close to the 21% average) and 22.9% were built between the wars. On those roughly 54,000 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
22.4% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 22.1% from 1973 to 1999: 44.5% together, about 56,000 homes, close to the 45% average for those decades. Many of the 54,000 or so older homes here have had their doors replaced with uPVC as well, and a yellowed white uPVC door takes a Kolorbond-certified respray with a 10-year guarantee.
12.7% of properties, about 16,000, 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, 4.4% of properties in Anlaby (4 miles away) and 9.6% in Cottingham (4 miles) pre-date 1919, so Hull has more period housing than either. Since 2000 the figure is 12.7% here, 11.1% in Anlaby and 18.6% in Cottingham. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 44.5% here, 55.8% in Anlaby and 56.0% in Cottingham.
Who lives in Hull, and what that changes
Terraces house 46.7% of the 115,471 households here (well above the 27% average). Those 54,000 or so terraced front doors usually open onto the pavement or a short path, so we spray the door in place, screen the pavement side and mask the step, sill and brickwork around it.
27.0% of homes here, about 31,000, are social rented. If your landlord is the council or a housing association, the door belongs to them, so ask for written permission before booking a colour change.
Choosing a door colour for Hull
Because Hull mixes 19.9% pre-1919 homes with 57.2% 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).

What guarantee do you give on a sprayed front door?
uPVC doors sprayed with Kolorbond-certified coatings carry a 10-year guarantee. Composite, timber, GRP and steel doors carry our 5-year written guarantee, covering adhesion and colour stability.
Is my Hull front door likely to be uPVC, composite or timber?

Can I change the colour of a rented or leasehold front door in Hull?
Only with permission. 23.9% of Hull households rent privately and 27.0% from a council or housing association (Census 2021), and in those homes the door belongs to the landlord. In a block of flats, 15.3% of homes here, the freeholder or managing agent usually has to agree as well, and a flat entrance door may be a fire door.
How far is Hull from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Hull is about 61 miles by road, roughly 1 hour 11 minutes away, to the east. We confirm visit dates and anything distance-related in your fixed-price quote before you commit.
Do I need permission to change exterior colours in Hull?
Usually not for an ordinary house, but listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas can need consent from Hull City Council. If your home is in one, check with the council first; we can give you the exact RAL or BS colour reference for the application.
