Composite doors are tough, but not indestructible. Chips, gouges, scratches, cracks, and fading are all common — and replacing a composite door costs anywhere from £700 to £2,000+. In the vast majority of cases, professional repair is the smarter, faster, and far more affordable solution.
Shazam Repairs carries out composite door chip repairs, scratch repairs, dent repairs, and full panel resprays across the UK. Work is done on-site with no need to remove the door, and most repairs are completed within a few hours.
What We Repair
- Chips and gouges in the door panel
- Deep scratches and surface marks
- Dents and impact damage
- Sun fading and colour discolouration
- Surface cracks in the GRP (glass-reinforced polymer) skin
- Paint peeling or flaking from the door surface
- Colour changes — full door respray in any colour
How Composite Door Repair Works
Composite doors have an outer skin of GRP (glass-reinforced polymer) over a timber or foam core. This outer skin is the surface our technicians work on. The repair process involves:
- Surface preparation — cleaning, degreasing, and masking the surrounding area
- Filling — applying specialist flexible filler to restore the damaged area
- Shaping — sanding the repair flush with the surrounding surface
- Priming and painting — applying colour-matched flexible paints that bond to GRP
- Finishing — blending the repair area and applying a protective topcoat
For woodgrain textured doors, we apply a grain pattern over the repair using specialist tools to replicate the door’s original texture. For solid-colour doors, the colour match is typically excellent.
Composite Door Respray
If your composite door has faded significantly — particularly common on dark colours in sunny positions — a full door respray may give better results than a spot repair alone. We can respray your door in its original colour, or change the colour entirely.
A full composite door respray includes:
- Full degreasing and surface prep
- Masking of glass, frame, and hardware
- Application of specialist primer and flexible topcoat
- Colour matching or change to your chosen colour
- Protective clear lacquer finish

Frequently Asked Questions
Can UPVC and composite door damage be repaired without replacement?
Yes. Chips, cracks, scuffs and colour fade in UPVC and composite doors can be repaired and colour-matched on-site. We also repair fire doors, wooden doors and internal door surfaces.
Can you colour-match paint on a UPVC door?
Yes. We use specialist UPVC-compatible paints and colour-matching systems to achieve a seamless finish on door panels, frames and sills.
Do you repair fire doors?
Yes, and we ensure any repair maintains the structural integrity and fire rating of the door. This is important for commercial and HMO properties where fire door compliance is a regulatory requirement.
