Domestic Powder Coating Services in Harlow
Professional powder coating for gates, railings, furniture and household metalwork across Harlow, Hertfordshire, Essex and London.
What Is Domestic Powder Coating?
Spraytech provides domestic powder coating for homeowners looking to restore, protect or upgrade metal items. Whether it is a set of wrought iron gates that have started to rust, garden furniture that has lost its colour, or alloy wheels that need a fresh look, powder coating gives metalwork a factory-quality finish that outlasts traditional paint by years.
Powder coating works by applying a dry powder electrostatically to the metal surface, then curing it in an oven at around 200°C. The result is a hard, smooth coating that bonds directly to the metal — far more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading and corrosion than brush or spray paint.
We regularly coat:
- Gates and railings
- Garden furniture
- Fencing and metal panels
- Stair railings and balustrades
- Automotive parts and wheels
- Decorative metal items
Whether you’re refurbishing existing items or finishing new pieces, we provide a clean, professional result.
Why Is Powder Coating Better Than Repainting for Home Metalwork?
Powder coating is a popular choice for domestic refurbishment and restoration because it:
Restores old or worn metalwork
removes years of rust, flaking paint and weathering, bringing items back to their original condition or better.
Protects against rust and corrosion
creates a sealed barrier that prevents moisture reaching the metal surface, even in exposed outdoor environments.
Provides a smooth, modern finish
delivers a consistent, even coating in any colour with no brush marks, drips or uneven coverage.

Our Domestic Powder Coating Process
Inspection of items
Powder is applied electrostatically, ensuring even coverage across all surfaces including hard-to-reach areas and detailed profiles.
Curing and finishing
Every component is cleaned and pre-treated before coating. For mild steel, this includes degreasing and iron phosphate treatment. For aluminium, we apply a chromate-free conversion coating that promotes adhesion and provides a corrosion-resistant base layer.
Powder coating application
The specified powder is applied electrostatically in our spray booths. Application parameters — including gun distance, powder flow rate and electrostatic charge — are controlled to achieve even film thickness and consistent coverage across all components.
Curing and finishing
Items are cured in our ovens at approximately 200°C, permanently bonding the coating to the metal for a hard, durable finish.
Final inspection
Every item is checked for coverage, finish quality and colour accuracy before being wrapped and returned to you.

Powder Coating For Domestic Items
What is powder coating?
Powder coating is a dry finishing process that applies a fine powder to metal surfaces using an electrostatic charge. The coated item is then cured in an oven at around 200°C, which melts the powder and bonds it permanently to the metal. The result is a smooth, hard and durable coating that is far more resistant to chipping, scratching, fading and rust than traditional paint.
Can you restore old or rusty items?
Yes, we can prepare and coat items to restore their appearance and protect them from further corrosion.
Is powder coating suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it provides excellent durability and weather resistance, making it ideal for outdoor metalwork.
Do you offer a range of colours?
Yes, we offer a wide selection of colours and finishes to suit your preferences.
How long does powder coating last?
On outdoor metalwork such as gates and railings, a polyester powder coating typically lasts 15 to 20 years. On indoor items or items with less exposure, it can last significantly longer. The lifespan depends on the quality of surface preparation, the coating system used and the level of environmental exposure.
How much does domestic powder coating cost?
The cost depends on the size and number of items, the amount of preparation needed and the finish specified. As a rough guide, a pair of standard garden gates typically costs between £80 and £150 to powder coat, and a set of four garden chairs between £60 and £120.
