Powder coating and on-site respraying in Essex

If your building in Essex or the East of England is listed, or in a conservation area, check with the council before changing the colour of the frontage.

Aluminium frame being resprayed on site with masked glass

On-site spraying in Essex or elsewhere in the East of England can be arranged out of hours, so the frontage can be masked and painted around trading. A faded or chalky frontage in Essex can often be refinished on site, which usually costs less than replacing sound frames.

What do we fix in Essex?

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

Budget £395 to £1,695 ex VAT per frontage. Chains and landlords with sites in Essex and across the East of England can use a single RAL reference to keep their frontages consistent. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Essex?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Essex, including Basildon, Billericay, Braintree, Brentwood.

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 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 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.
