What you can expect to pay
A composite door is built from several layers of materials, usually a solid timber or foam core wrapped in a tough GRP skin, which makes it more secure, better insulated and more durable than a standard uPVC door.
For most UK homeowners, a composite front door costs between £900 and £2,000 supplied and fitted. A simple, plain door in a standard colour sits at the lower end, while a glazed door with side panels and premium hardware sits at the top.

What affects the price of a composite door
Two composite doors can sit hundreds of pounds apart depending on the choices you make. The main factors are:
- ✓ Glazing, from plain panels to decorative or obscured glass
- ✓ Colour and finish, with premium and dual colours costing more
- ✓ Hardware, including handles, letterplate, knocker and locking system
- ✓ Side panels, which widen the opening and add glazing
- ✓ Size and opening, with non-standard sizes needing bespoke manufacture
A free survey is the only way to confirm the exact specification and price for your door.
Composite vs uPVC doors
A uPVC door typically costs £600 to £1,200 fitted, making it the more affordable option, and it remains a sensible choice for side and back doors where kerb appeal matters less.
A composite door costs more, usually £900 to £2,000, but you get a solid, weighty door that is more secure, better insulated and more resistant to warping and fading. For a front door that takes the weather and sets the tone for your home, composite is usually worth the extra. If budget is the priority and the door is less prominent, uPVC does the job well.
How to pay less for a composite door
You do not always have to pay full price up front. Qualifying UK homeowners may be able to cut the cost of new doors and windows through funding rather than paying for the whole job themselves.

Is a composite door better than a uPVC door?
Composite doors are generally more solid, more secure and better insulated than standard uPVC doors, which is why they cost more. A uPVC door typically costs £600 to £1,200, while a composite door usually costs £900 to £2,000. If you want the most robust and best-looking front door, composite is usually the stronger choice. uPVC remains a good value option, especially for side and back doors.
