All chuffed with the epic makeover, Ceri said: ''Obviously not to everyone's taste, but I am in love with my front door.''

Another agreed, adding: ''Love it nice and fresh looking.''
A third hit back at the partner, joking: ''Nothing wrong with looking like a Liquorice Allsort. I love it but then I love pink!''

''Life would be very boring if we were all the same, well done you.''

Prep the uPVC door ready for painting
Once the doorknobs and other bits have been removed, it's time to prep the surface - start by using a brush to sweep away any dust or cobwebs.
Then, wash the door with a sponge and soapy water, let it dry and place a dust sheet beneath the open door.
You will also need to use light sandpaper all over the surface to create a key for the paint to stick to.
''Make sure you go all around the door frame, from top to bottom, paying particular attention to any window frames within the door. Mask off handles and other details.''
