How much to have front door painted

[Jane]

Hi all, just wondering what's the going rate to have a door painted?

It's a wood teak door that was previously stained (stain is worn). It'll need a sanding, base coat and top coat. The trim will be painted in a different colour (white)

I've bought all the paint but just wondering what I should be paying. It's a friend of my Dad who is doing it. Not a professional painter but all rounder.

I'm thinking around €80, does that sound ok?

I've attached a pic of the door.

Tks

If this door has a previous staining it may be a tougher job than you have allowed for. Certain oil-based stains will actually prevent paint (under-coat or top-coat) drying. Get a professional on the job and try to establish what was used on the door originally.

Thanks, yeah quite a few of my neighbours had theirs done so I checked with them already.
