Powder coating and on-site respraying Dorset

New tenants taking on a Dorset unit can change the frame colour to suit their brand, provided the lease and any consents allow it. A faded or chalky frontage in Dorset can often be refinished on site, which usually costs less than replacing sound frames.

What do we fix in Dorset?

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.

On-site wet sprayingFrames are cleaned, abraded, primed and sprayed in place, with glass and surroundings masked. It suits fixed frames that cannot come out.

Powder coating off siteRemovable parts go to a coating plant to be stripped, pre-treated and oven-cured. The film is tough, but the parts have to come off the building.

How much does it cost in Dorset?

The guide price is £395 to £1,695 ex VAT per frontage. Chains and landlords with sites in Dorset and across the South West can use a single RAL reference to keep their frontages consistent. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Dorset?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Dorset, including Bournemouth, Christchurch, Dorchester, Poole.

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.

Do I need permission to change my shopfront colour?

Sometimes. A listed building may need listed building consent, and a lease may restrict colours. A conservation area can bring extra planning controls, so ask your council. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and the council makes the decision in each case.

Can I keep trading during a respray?

Usually yes. Work can be split into sections or arranged out of hours, overnight or at weekends. Some paints smell strongly and need time to cure, so we agree access, masking and the working area with you before starting.
