So she decided to attempt a on it herself, which she began by giving the door a good clean.

She then in any cracks or holes she could, before she got going with the painting process.

“Here's the colour I went for – I chose pink,” Haf said.

“It's UPVC paint too and I was really impressed with it but I did do about three coats.

“I think just because the colour was quite light.”

She finished off the with a gold door number she got from for just 99p, and a stunning spring wreath she made herself.

“I'm really happy with the results for less than £50,” Haf concluded.

“Paint my front door with me,” she captioned the video.

“Let me know what you think!”

And the comments section was immediately filled with people praising Haf for a job well done, as one wrote: “It looks lovely – paint the frame too!”

“Oooo ok! Thank you I’ll be getting that done today!” Haf replied.

“I honestly didn’t know you could paint a plastic door! Giving me ideas!” another added.

To which Haf admitted: “I was looking to buy a whole new door but just couldn’t afford to.

“So just an affordable way of changing it!!

“Plus this paint had a primer in too so was just much easier.”

“What filler did you use please?” someone else asked.

“I used Big Boy Plastic Flexi Filler – I searched for upvc filler and this came up,” Haf replied.

“I think it’s car bumper filler hence why it’s black so maybe see if there’s a white version.

“The paint did cover it!”

“Just painted mine pink and put a new wreath on today, makes me happy every time I see it,” another smiled.

“I painted my front door pink, got a floral wreath and loads of cottage garden plants in pots either side of the door!” someone else said.

“Living my countryside cottage dream in a terraced house!”

“I'm not a fan of pink but I really like it looks beautiful,” another praised.

“I didn't even know you could get UPVC paint,” someone else admitted.

“Looks amazing!”

“This looks so good,” another wrote.

“I hate my tired white front door. You’ve inspired me!”
