How Much Does uPVC Window Spraying Cost in 2026? (UK Price Guide)

For a professionally sprayed finish using 2K polyurethane on uPVC, expect to pay roughly £40–£90 per window frame, £180–£350 for a single front or back door, and £1,800–£3,500 for a full average UK semi-detached house including all windows, doors, fascias and soffits.

Those figures are for the spraying alone — proper preparation, full masking, exterior-grade primer, two top-coats and a 10-year guarantee. Cheaper quotes usually skip one of those steps, which is what causes the horror stories of paint peeling within a year.

If you'd rather just send us your address and get an exact figure, our window and door spraying service page explains how the free quote works.

Use this as a rough budgeting guide. Final price depends on access, condition, colour and how many items we're doing in one visit (more items = cheaper per item).

uPVC casement window: £40–£70 per frame

uPVC bay window: £150–£250 per bay

Composite or uPVC front door: £180–£350

Back door / patio door: £180–£280

Garage door (single, up-and-over or sectional): £250–£500

Garage door (double): £400–£700

Conservatory frames (small lean-to): £600–£1,000

Conservatory frames (full Victorian or P-shape): £1,200–£2,200

Kitchen cabinets (small galley, 8–10 doors): £600–£900

Kitchen cabinets (medium, 15–20 doors): £900–£1,300

Kitchen cabinets (large, 25+ doors with island): £1,300–£1,800

Fascias, soffits and guttering (terrace): £400–£700

Fascias, soffits and guttering (semi): £600–£1,000

Fascias, soffits and guttering (detached): £900–£1,500

Full house exterior (semi, windows + doors + fascias): £1,800–£3,000

Full house exterior (detached, windows + doors + fascias + garage): £2,800–£4,500

Number of frames is the biggest factor — but not linearly. The first window is expensive because of mobilisation, masking and mixing. Each additional frame is much cheaper, which is why a whole-house respray often works out at £55–£70 per window.

Colour matters more than people expect. A standard RAL like Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016) or Jet Black (RAL 9005) is the cheapest because we mix it constantly. Bespoke colour matches add £80–£150 to the job for the custom mix.

Access affects price too. Ground-floor frames are quickest. Anything above the first floor needs a tower or harness, which adds time. Bay windows, leaded glass, Georgian bars and trickle vents all add masking time.

Substrate condition is the last variable. Frames that are simply faded spray beautifully. Frames that are chalky, cracked, or have failing seals need extra prep — sometimes an extra £15–£25 per frame.

Across the UK, uPVC spraying prices vary by roughly 15–25%. London and the South East are the most expensive — expect to add 20–30% to the figures above. The North East and parts of Wales are the cheapest, often 10–15% under our quoted ranges.

The West Midlands — Birmingham, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Coventry, Wolverhampton — sits right on the national average, which is what the prices in this guide reflect.

What matters more than postcode is travel. Most professional sprayers cover a 20–30 mile radius without surcharge; beyond that you'll typically see a mobilisation fee of £50–£150 added.

No written guarantee. A verbal '10 year guarantee' isn't a guarantee. Always get it on the invoice or a separate certificate. Without it, you have no recourse if the finish fails.

'Touch-up only' prep. If the quote mentions 'cleaning down and spraying' but not abrasion, adhesion primer, or flame treatment, the finish won't last. Cheap quotes that skip prep typically peel within 18 months.

Aerosol top-coats. Some quotes are suspiciously low because they're using rattle-can paint, not 2K polyurethane. Aerosol finishes look fine for a season then chalk. Ask what brand and product they're using — Sika, Adler, Tikkurila and Mipa are reputable 2K systems.

Masking shortcuts. Properly masking a house takes 3–5 hours. Quotes that promise to start spraying within an hour usually result in overspray on brickwork, paths and glass.

Excluding fascias. Many quotes for 'full house spraying' quietly exclude fascias, soffits and guttering — then add them as extras once the rig is up. Always confirm what's in scope in writing.

A like-for-like uPVC window replacement in the UK now sits around £550–£900 per window installed. A respray of the same window is typically £40–£90.

On a typical 8-window semi, that's roughly £4,400–£7,200 to replace versus £400–£800 to spray. The visual result is almost identical — the difference is the underlying glass unit, which on most homes is still perfectly fine.

Spraying makes sense when the frames and glass are sound and you simply want a different colour or to refresh tired-looking white uPVC. Replacement makes sense when seals have failed, units are blown, or the frames themselves are damaged.

Every quote includes full masking and protection of brickwork and glass, degreasing and abrasion of the frame, a flexible adhesion primer, two coats of 2K polyurethane top-coat, and a written 10-year guarantee against peeling and significant colour failure.

We also include the consultation, the colour sample, and clean-up. There are no day-rate surprises — the price you're quoted is the price you pay.

Is there a minimum charge? Yes — our minimum job is £180, which covers a single door or one or two windows. Below that, mobilisation costs make the per-frame price uneconomic for both sides.

Do you charge for quotes? No. All quotes are free, with no obligation. We can usually quote from photos and measurements; for larger jobs we visit in person.

How long until I can use the windows? Frames are touch-dry within an hour and fully cured within 7 days. You can open and close them gently the next day.

Is it cheaper than painting them myself? Not really, once you factor in proper exterior primer, top-coat, masking materials and the inevitable second coat. And brushed paint on uPVC almost always shows brush marks within 12 months.

Does the price include doors? Doors are quoted separately because they take longer than a window. A typical front door respray is £180–£280; a composite front door with glazing is £220–£350.

Will it add value to my house? Estate agents we work with estimate a tidy sprayed exterior adds £3,000–£8,000 to perceived value on a typical semi versus a tired white uPVC frontage — meaningfully more than the cost of the work.

Do you offer finance? For larger jobs (£2,500+) we can arrange 0% interest spread over 12 months via a regulated provider. Ask when you book.

If you're costing up the rest of the house at the same time, our garage door spraying service typically runs £250–£500 per door, and kitchen cabinet spraying is usually £800–£1,500 for a whole kitchen — both finished in a single day.
