Yes — a scratched composite door can be repaired professionally. Composite door scratch repair is one of our most common requests, particularly for doors that have sustained key scratches or tool marks.
What Causes Composite Door Scratches
Key scratches — the most common cause. People fumbling with keys, particularly in poor light, often drag the key across the door surface leaving a long scratch.
Tool marks — from builders, locksmiths or other trades working near the door.
Wind damage — wind catching the door and banging it against adjacent surfaces.
Vandalism — unfortunately common in some locations.
The Repair Process
The scratch is assessed for depth and extent. Surface scratches in the paint layer are filled with colour-matched compound and polished. Deeper scratches penetrating the GRP skin require more material but are still repairable.
The colour matching process for composite doors follows the same approach as chip repair — the existing colour is matched from our library or mixed. Key scratches often run across a single colour area, making matching straightforward.
Long Key Scratches
A long key scratch across a composite door is more challenging than a localised chip but still repairable. The scratch is filled along its full length, blended at the edges, and the paint finish polished to match.
Cost
A single scratch repair on a composite door: £100–£225 depending on length. Send photos for a fixed price.
