How To Repair A Water Damaged Door With Paint

A water-damaged door is an all too familiar sight in bathrooms. Your first thought might be to simply replace the door, but what if we told you that this was an easy fix (sounds too good to be true right?!). Rather than you going out and buying a brand-new door, in just 5 steps, you can easily fix the water-damage and transform it with the power of paint.

Here’s how you can repair your water-damaged door with paint:

Step 1:

Remove the door from the hinges, remove the handles and place it in a well-ventilated area.

Step 2:

With 120 grit sandpaper, sand both sides of the door. Pay particular attention to the water-damaged parts of the door.

Step 3:

Apply 1x coat of Dulux Precision Maximum Adhesion Primer to both sides of the door. Cut in with a brush on any intricate features of the door before rolling with a mini roller. Remember to prime the bottom edge of the door. This will help to prevent any future water-damage. Allow to dry fully.

Step 4:

Apply 2x coats of Dulux Aquanamel in your chose colour to both sides of the door. We used Dulux Natural White. Allow to dry between coats.

Step 5:

Once dry, rehang the door on the hinges and attach the handles.
