Internal Door Painting
small repainting jobs on suitable internal door leaves
Common situations
Handles, hinges and nearby floor surfaces need an agreed protection plan. Explain whether the hardware is delicate or has a specialist function. Removal or refitting of components should be discussed, and no alteration to a certified door assembly is implied.
Timber, coated composite and previously painted surfaces do not always take the same preparation. Send product information where available. A coating choice should follow compatibility checks rather than assuming any household paint can be applied over the existing finish.
An internal door may need to remain open between coating stages. Tell Fix Nik whether it serves a bathroom, bedroom or another frequently used room. Practical access arrangements matter when the room cannot simply be taken out of use.
Planning the work
Show both sides of the internal door, its edges, hardware and the current coating in good light. Keep labels and instructions available so the item can be identified accurately instead of relying on a general description.
Door material, coating adhesion and mechanical operation need review before a new finish is agreed. Any unresolved requirement should be explained before committing to a visit or buying additional materials.
Protect suitable hardware and adjacent finishes, prepare compatible surfaces and apply the agreed internal-door coating. Identify any additional items separately so the scope and preparation are understood by everyone arranging the work.
Follow the coating guidance before closing against stops or cleaning the finish. Paint does not correct a door that rubs or will not latch. Discuss any final finish or product-specific restrictions before returning the area to ordinary use.
Kooyong property context
An occupied Kooyong property may need preparation before internal door painting can begin. Show both sides of the internal door, its edges, hardware and the current coating in good light. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. Kooyong sits near Hawthorn, Toorak, Malvern and Hawthorn East. Fix Nik can review practical maintenance requests across this part of Greater Melbourne, with the job scope and property conditions guiding timing, materials and the appropriate service.
Service overview
Small marks on a sound door can suit preparation and recoating, while peeling layers or damaged material may need a different approach. Photos should show the whole leaf as well as individual chips so the overall condition is understood.
Rubbing, loose hinges and latch problems should be identified before painting. Extra paint can make tight clearances worse. Suitable hardware repairs can be requested separately, but a new finish is not a substitute for correcting an underlying door movement issue.
List whether the request covers one face, both faces or accessible edges. A door frame and surrounding architraves are separate surfaces. Defining those boundaries helps keep a small internal-door painting quote clear before preparation begins.
The agreed service covers small internal-door painting jobs, compatible surface preparation and agreed finish. Exclusions: Fire/smoke door certification or modifications, exterior coating systems, hazardous paint stripping, door replacement.

FAQ
Timber, coated composite and previously painted surfaces do not always take the same preparation. Send product information where available. A coating choice should follow compatibility checks rather than assuming any household paint can be applied over the existing finish.
Door material, coating adhesion and mechanical operation need review before a new finish is agreed. Some questions can be clarified from product information and photos; others require direct inspection. Fix Nik can explain what remains uncertain before confirming whether the proposed task is suitable.
Identify any fire or smoke door and any uncertainty about the assembly. This service does not include certification, modification or specialist restoration. Exterior doors and hazardous coating removal also need separate review rather than being added to an internal-door painting scope.
Fire/smoke door certification or modifications, exterior coating systems, hazardous paint stripping, door replacement. Describe any additional requirement separately. Suitability is reviewed before work is accepted, and a specialist requirement must not be treated as a routine extension of the quoted handyman task.
Colour, sheen and the condition beneath the coating all influence the result. An agreed repaint should not be described as factory refinishing. Matching neighbouring aged surfaces exactly cannot be guaranteed just by choosing a paint colour with the same name.
Show both sides of the internal door, its edges, hardware and the current coating in good light. Explain which spaces need to remain usable and who can arrange access. The appointment and preparation are agreed around the actual work; an occupied room should not be assumed to be clear or ready.
Rubbing, loose hinges and latch problems should be identified before painting. Extra paint can make tight clearances worse. Suitable hardware repairs can be requested separately, but a new finish is not a substitute for correcting an underlying door movement issue.
