Composite Door Prices 2026: How Much Does a Composite Door Cost?

If you're considering replacing your front or back door, price is naturally one of the first things you'll want to know. Composite door prices vary depending on the door construction, design, glazing, colour, hardware and the requirements of the installation.

Typical Peterborough Doors fitted price£1,250 – £1,800

Our fitted composite doors typically fall within this range depending on the style and options selected. Premium specifications, side panels, additional glazing or more complex installations can increase the final cost.

What Affects the Price of a Composite Door?

There isn't one fixed price for every composite door. Two doors that look similar can have quite different specifications and fitted costs.

Door Construction

GRP and solid-core composite doors use different construction methods and materials, which can affect both the price and performance of the finished door.

Door Style

The slab design, size and configuration all influence the final cost. Traditional and contemporary designs are available across a wide range of specifications.

Decorative Glazing

The amount, style and specification of the glass can make a noticeable difference to the overall price of a composite door.

Colour & Finish

Standard colours, premium finishes, woodgrain effects and matching frames give you plenty of choice and can affect the final cost.

Door Furniture

Handles, letterplates, knockers and contemporary bar handles allow you to personalise the appearance and specification of your door.

Installation

Every property is different. The existing opening, removal of the old door and any additional work required can influence the fitted price.

GRP vs Solid-Core Composite Door Prices

The construction of the door is one of the factors to consider when comparing different composite door ranges.

GRP Composite Doors

GRP composite doors generally combine an insulated core with a tough glass-reinforced plastic outer skin. They provide a combination of thermal performance, security and a large choice of styles, colours and glazing designs.

Solid-Core Composite Doors

Solid-core composite doors use a substantial engineered or timber-based core and are generally heavier. Depending on the manufacturer and specification, they can cost more than a standard GRP alternative.

Price shouldn't be the only consideration. Security, appearance, thermal performance, warranty and the quality of installation should all be considered when comparing doors.

How Much Is a Composite Door Fitted?

At Peterborough Doors, a typical fitted composite door currently costs approximately £1,250 to £1,800, depending on the design and options chosen.

A straightforward door with standard glazing and furniture will normally be towards the lower end of the range. Premium glass, upgraded hardware, bespoke colours or more complicated configurations can increase the price.

The most accurate way to compare costs is to obtain a quotation based on the actual door and specification you want rather than relying solely on an online headline price.

What Should Be Included in a Composite Door Quote?

When comparing composite door prices, check exactly what is included. A cheaper advertised price may not represent the complete fitted cost.

Are Composite Doors Worth the Money?

For many homeowners, a composite door provides an excellent combination of security, thermal performance, durability and appearance.

Composite doors are available in traditional and contemporary styles, with a wide selection of colours, decorative glass and door furniture. They also require relatively little routine maintenance compared with traditional painted timber doors.

Whether a composite door is right for your property ultimately depends on your budget, preferred appearance and the specification you're looking for. When comparing quotations, consider the complete door and installation rather than choosing on price alone.
