When you’re renovating a home in Robina, your mind is often occupied with the big and exciting updates — new kitchens, modern bathrooms, fresh flooring, maybe knocking down a wall to open up your living space. But there’s a feature in almost every room that can make or break the finished look, and it’s one most renovators overlook until it’s too late: aluminium window and door frames.

These frames are in nearly every sightline, both inside and outside your home. They frame your views, let in light, and act as a strong visual border to your home’s design. If they’re faded, peeling, or stuck in a colour from the early 2000s, they can instantly date a space — no matter how much you’ve invested in everything else.

The good news? You don’t have to replace them to get a fresh, modern look. Professional aluminium window repainting can bring them back to life and make them a seamless part of your renovation — all without the huge cost and disruption of full replacement.

Why Robina Renovators Are Choosing to Repaint, Not Replace

Homeowners in Robina are savvy. They know that a renovation budget can disappear quickly, and replacement aluminium frames are an expensive hit that often delivers minimal functional improvement.

Here’s why painting makes sense during a renovation:

• Cost savings – Repainting costs a fraction of replacement, leaving more budget for other renovation upgrades.
• Less disruption – No need to remove walls, replaster, or re-tile.
• Unlimited colour choice – You can match new interior finishes or exterior tones perfectly.
• Factory-like finish – Professional HVLP spraying delivers a result that looks like the frames came that way from new.
• Durability – With the right preparation and primers, repainted aluminium frames last for years.

In other words, repainting lets you redirect your budget into areas that increase comfort and add value, without compromising on style.

The Problems with Leaving Old Frames in a Renovation

If your renovation is designed to make your Robina home look fresh, bright, and up-to-date, leaving the original window frames untouched can undo a lot of your hard work. Common issues include:

• Chalky, faded powder coating from years of Gold Coast UV exposure.
• Outdated colours like cream, primrose, or faded silver that no longer match your new design.
• Peeling or flaking finishes from age and wear.
• Frames that clash with new doors, flooring, and kitchen finishes.

It’s a bit like renovating a car’s interior but leaving the paintwork rusty — it just doesn’t fit.

Our Process for Aluminium Window Painting in Robina Renovations

We know that when you’re mid-renovation, your property is a busy worksite. Trades are coming and going, schedules are tight, and you can’t afford delays. That’s why our process is designed to be efficient, thorough, and perfectly integrated into your reno timeline.

Step 1 – Pre-Job Planning and Quote

We start with a clear quote. You send us:

• Photos of each frame
• Your desired colour
• Whether screens are included
• Your Robina location

We return a total price including GST and materials — no itemised confusion, no hidden extras.

Step 2 – Scheduling Around Your Renovation

We coordinate with you (or your builder) to find the ideal time in your renovation schedule. Many renovators prefer frames to be done after messy trades like plastering but before final flooring and painting.

Step 3 – Site Protection

Because a renovation site can be dusty and busy, we take extra care to protect both our work and yours:

• Masking glass, walls, floors, and nearby finishes
• Using overspray protection in open-plan areas
• Coordinating with other trades to keep the area clear

Step 4 – Screen Removal or Masking

Security screens and flyscreens are removed or masked with precision. We never spray over the mesh. If you choose to include screens in your repaint, we clean, prep, and spray them to match your frames.

Step 5 – Cleaning the Frames

Even in a renovation, aluminium frames collect dirt, dust, oils, and sometimes building residues. We clean them thoroughly with wax and grease remover to strip away contaminants.

Step 6 – Sanding

We mechanically sand every frame to create the perfect surface profile for primer adhesion. This is non-negotiable — skipping sanding is a recipe for peeling paint down the track.

Step 7 – Priming

We apply a specialist aluminium primer, sprayed evenly with HVLP equipment. This primer is designed for maximum adhesion and forms the foundation for the topcoats.

Step 8 – Spraying the Topcoats

We apply multiple fine coats to build up a consistent, smooth film. The result is a flawless, factory-like finish that elevates the entire room.

Step 9 – Detailing and Clean-Up

Once the paint is cured, we remove masking, reinstall screens, and check every detail. We leave your space clean so you can keep your renovation moving.

Matching Your New Renovation Colour Scheme

One of the best things about repainting aluminium frames during a renovation is the freedom to choose any colour.

Robina renovators often choose:

• Gloss Black – Timeless and works beautifully with modern and Hamptons-style renos.
• Monument – A deep architectural charcoal for striking contrasts.
• Pearl White – Bright and fresh, perfect for coastal looks.
• Surfmist – Light, clean, and airy.

Because we spray, not brush, your frames will look like they were manufactured in your chosen colour.

What About Interior Frames?

When repainting as part of a renovation, many Robina homeowners choose to do both interior and exterior frames. This creates a seamless look and avoids the “new outside, old inside” mismatch.

If your renovation includes repainting interior walls or updating flooring, now’s the time to address those interior frames too.

Renovation Case Study: Robina

We recently worked on a Robina property where the owners were undergoing a major renovation: new kitchen, re-tiled bathrooms, and fresh timber-look flooring. The original aluminium frames were a faded cream that clashed with their modern grey-and-white design.

We scheduled our work between the painting and flooring stages, protecting all surfaces and coordinating with the builder to avoid delays. We removed and resprayed the security screens, applied a deep gloss black to the frames, and the result tied the whole renovation together.
