Powder coating and on-site respraying County Durham

A faded or chalky frontage in County Durham can often be refinished on site, which usually costs less than replacing sound frames. Clear photos of your County Durham frames usually let us price a respray, although poor adhesion or corrosion may need a charged diagnostic visit.

What do we fix in County Durham?

Painting anodised framesAnodised aluminium needs thorough cleaning and a compatible primer before paint will hold.

Colour change for a rebrandFrames, doors and panels can be recoloured to a RAL reference, so a new tenant need not replace sound metalwork.

Touch-ups and scratch repairsLocal damage is feathered back and blended. On older finishes, a small repair can show, so a whole section may look better.

How much does it cost in County Durham?

As a guide, allow £395 to £1,695 ex VAT per frontage. If your building in County Durham or the North East is listed, or in a conservation area, check with the council before changing the colour of the frontage. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Common questions

Do you cover all of County Durham?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across County Durham, including Bishop Auckland, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Darlington.

Can a shopfront be powder coated on site?

No, true powder coating needs an oven, so it cannot be done on an installed frame. On-site work uses liquid paint sprayed in place. If you want powder coating, parts must be removed, which suits small sections and panels better than a whole fixed frontage.

Can you respray anodised aluminium?

Yes, with the right preparation. The surface must be thoroughly cleaned and keyed, then primed with a product suited to anodised metal. Once painted, the frame loses its metallic look and will need repainting in future, so consider that before going ahead.

How long does an on-site respray last?

It depends on preparation, paint system and exposure, and it will not usually match an oven-cured coat for durability. A properly prepared frame can hold its finish for years with regular cleaning. Coastal sites and frames with existing corrosion tend to need attention sooner.
