Front Door Spraying in Robin Hood's Bay: The Short Answer
We respray front doors in Robin Hood's Bay on site from £200 for a standard uPVC or composite door, usually in one day; Robin Hood's Bay is 76 miles by road (about 1 hour 44 minutes) from our workshop in Sheepscar, Leeds.
47.7% of the 1,070 properties around Robin Hood's Bay centre were built before 1919, so we expect to meet original timber doors here as often as later uPVC or composite ones, and we spray all of them with HVLP equipment for a brush-free finish; 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 1,070 properties around Robin Hood's Bay centre, these are the doors we would expect to meet in Robin Hood's Bay, timber first; GRP and steel doors, frames and side panels get their own primers, and handles and letterboxes come off rather than being masked.
- 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, 47.7% of properties here or roughly 510.
- uPVC doors: sprayed with Kolorbond-certified coatings made to bond to uPVC and guaranteed for 10 years; the usual replacement door on the 12.1% of local properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 130 homes.
- Composite doors: a specialist adhesion primer and two spray topcoats that stand up to daily use; only 4.7% of Robin Hood's Bay properties are post-2000, so here composites are mostly replacements, resprayed from £200 like uPVC.

Type of home
When the homes were built
What the age of Robin Hood's Bay homes means for your front door
47.7% of the 1,070 properties around Robin Hood's Bay centre were built before 1919, well above the 21% average across the towns we cover. Those roughly 510 houses were built with solid timber panelled doors; some survive, and many have been swapped for uPVC or composite.
27.1% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 12.1% from 1973 to 1999: 39.2% together, about 420 homes, below the 45% average for those decades. Many of the 600 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.
Only 4.7% of properties here, about 50, have been built since 2000, so few Robin Hood's Bay doors are new-build composites; more often the door has already been replaced once, and we check its material before quoting.
For comparison, 25.4% of properties in Whitby (5 miles away) and 66.5% in Scarborough (12 miles) pre-date 1919, so Robin Hood's Bay has a share of period housing more than Whitby and less than Scarborough. Since 2000 the figure is 4.7% here, 21.4% in Whitby and 6.3% in Scarborough. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 39.2% here, 38.8% in Whitby and 15.7% in Scarborough.
Who lives in Robin Hood's Bay, and what that changes
79.9% of the 883 households in Robin Hood's Bay live in detached or semi-detached houses, against 58% across all our towns, and with 47.7% of properties pre-dating 1919 many of them are older houses. On a period front the door is often the one painted surface on show, so a colour that sits with the stone or brick around it matters more than one that matches a modern garage.
76.7% of Robin Hood's Bay households own their home, above the 63% average, so if you are one of the roughly 680 owner-occupiers planning to stay, it pays to spray the frame at the same time (from £80 to £120) so the whole entrance ages evenly.
Choosing a door colour for Robin Hood's Bay
Robin Hood's Bay is inside the North York Moors National Park, and 47.7% of its properties pre-date 1919, so traditional colours suit most fronts.
