Front Doors We Spray
Going by the age of the 12,220 properties around Mexborough centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Mexborough, 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 15.6% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 1,900 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; builder-fitted composites are common on the 18.7% of Mexborough properties built since 2000, about 2,300 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, 23.9% of properties here or roughly 2,900.

When the homes were built
What the age of Mexborough homes means for your front door
23.9% of the 12,220 properties around Mexborough centre pre-date 1919 (above the 21% average) and 15.2% were built between the wars. On those roughly 4,800 older homes, expect a timber door, a uPVC replacement, or a timber door in a uPVC frame.
26.8% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 15.6% from 1973 to 1999: 42.4% together, about 5,200 homes, close to the 45% average for those decades. Many of the 4,800 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.
18.7% of properties, about 2,300, are post-2000, close to the 17% average; on those a builder-fitted composite or GRP door is likely, and composite doors respray from £200.
For comparison, 8.8% of properties in Swinton (1 miles away) and 20.9% in Bolton-upon-Dearne (2 miles) pre-date 1919, so Mexborough has a share of period housing more than Swinton and close to Bolton-upon-Dearne. Since 2000 the figure is 18.7% here, 15.4% in Swinton and 20.0% in Bolton-upon-Dearne. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 42.4% here, 57.6% in Swinton and 41.2% in Bolton-upon-Dearne.
Who lives in Mexborough, and what that changes
Terraces house 30.9% of the 11,299 households here (above the 27% average). Those 3,500 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.
23.5% of homes here, about 2,700, 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 Mexborough
Because Mexborough mixes 23.9% pre-1919 homes with 61.1% 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).
