Garage Doors We Spray
Judged from when the 4,350 properties around Filey centre were built, these are the garage doors we would expect to meet in Filey, steel up-and-over first; GRP and fibreglass doors get a specialist adhesion primer so the coating bonds to the moulded surface.
- Steel up-and-over doors: usually white or cream from the factory; cleaned, keyed, rust-treated (a badly corroded door is assessed honestly first), primed and sprayed from £150, and typical of the 19.3% of Filey properties built from 1973 to 1999, roughly 840 homes.
- Sectional and roller doors: sprayed panel by panel or slat by slat so the colour is even; sectional doors usually cost £220 to £350 and roller shutters are priced after a survey; both types are more common on the 16.8% of local properties built since 2000, about 730.
- Timber and side-hinged doors: grain filling, then primer and topcoats, priced at the consultation because preparation varies; worth knowing where 26.7% of properties, roughly 1,200, pre-date 1919.

Type of home
When the homes were built
How many Filey homes are likely to have a garage
The Census does not count garages, but house type is a fair guide: 25.6% of the 3,270 households here live in detached houses and 36.6% in semis, 62.2% together against 58% across all the towns we cover. Many of those roughly 2,000 homes will have a garage of their own; the 17.9% in terraces mostly will not, unless there is a separate garage in a rear lane or a block nearby.
Nearby, 18.1% of households in Scarborough (7 miles away) and 48.3% in Bridlington (10 miles) live in detached or semi-detached houses, so Filey has a higher share of garage-type homes than either. The share built since 2000 is 16.8% here, against 6.3% in Scarborough and 7.5% in Bridlington, a rough guide to how many integral garages with sectional doors to expect.
What the building dates suggest about Filey garage doors
25.7% of properties here date from 1945 to 1972, close to the 26% average. Not every home of that era was built with a garage, but where one has a garage, the original door has often since been replaced with a steel up-and-over.
19.3% of properties were built between 1973 and 1999, when the steel up-and-over door in white or cream became the default. After a couple of decades that factory finish chalks and fades, and a single up-and-over on any of those 840 or so homes resprays from £150.
Owners, landlords and permissions in Filey
66.3% of households own their home, close to the 63% average, and owners can have the garage and front door sprayed in Filey on the same visit so the colours match from the start.

Garage Door Spraying Prices, Process and Colours
Spraying versus a new door
Our service page puts a new steel up-and-over door at £600 to £1,200 supplied and fitted and a new sectional or roller door at £1,500 to £2,500 or more, so if the springs, runners and mechanism are sound, a respray from £150 changes the look for a fraction of that.
How the day runs
- Free consultation, colour samples and a fixed written price within 48 hours
- Clean and key the surface, treat rust, fill dents, mask the frame and drive
- Adhesion primer for the door material
- Two even HVLP topcoats across the whole door face
- Inspection before we leave; usable within 24 hours
For Filey, that one day on site means 67 miles and about 1 hour 33 minutes on the road each way from Leeds, which we plan into the booking, and every door carries our 5-year written guarantee on adhesion and colour stability.
Choosing a colour
With 26.7% of Filey properties pre-1919 and 61.8% built after 1945, the best guide is your own frontage, so we bring sample cards to hold against your brick or stone in daylight; you can also match the garage to the front door or uPVC windows in the same visit, and our colour matching service can copy a shade from a photo.

Garage Door Spraying in Filey: Questions
How much does garage door spraying cost in Filey?
From £150 for a single steel up-and-over door, and usually £220 to £350 for a double or sectional door; timber, GRP and roller doors are priced after a free consultation, and every quote is fixed and in writing.
Do I need permission to spray a garage in a block or a rented home in Filey?
Often, yes. 12.9% of Filey households rent from a council or housing association and 18.7% from a private landlord (Census 2021), and their garages belong to the landlord. Where terraces and flats make up 37.8% of homes, as here, more garages sit in shared blocks or courts, which may belong to a management company, so get its agreement first.
Is a Filey garage more likely to have an up-and-over or a sectional door?
Going by build dates (Valuation Office Agency), 45.0% of Filey properties date from 1945 to 1999, the decades of the steel up-and-over door, and 16.8% from 2000 onwards, when sectional and roller doors became more common. On those figures an up-and-over is the more likely, and we spray both, from £150 for a single up-and-over and usually £220 to £350 for a sectional door, each with a 5-year written guarantee.
Do many homes in Filey have a garage?
The Census does not record garages, but 62.2% of the 3,270 households in Filey live in detached or semi-detached houses, the homes most likely to have one (Census 2021). The other 37.8% are mostly terraces and flats, which more often use separate garage blocks that may need the owner's permission for a colour change.
How far is Filey from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Filey is about 67 miles by road, roughly 1 hour 33 minutes away, to the north-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 Filey?
Usually not for an ordinary house, but listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas can need consent from North Yorkshire 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.
