UPVC Spray Painting Kirkintilloch

The Real Cost Difference Between Respraying And Replacing Your Windows

Buying new uPVC windows and doors is one of the bigger home improvement expenses in the UK. Recent figures put the average spend on replacement windows and doors at around £4,778, and around 13% of people who spent money on home improvements in 2025 put some of that budget into new windows or doors.

A single new uPVC casement window can range from £500 to £1,250 depending on size and style. A full set of replacement windows for an average three bedroom home is commonly estimated at £4,000 or more. UPVC spray painting is often described in UK price guides as working out at around a quarter of that price, because you keep the frames and glass you already have and simply refresh the surface.

Choosing to respray rather than pay for expensive replacements also means you avoid weeks of building work, scaffolding and disruption to your home or business.

The Environmental Case For Giving Your uPVC A Second Life

England generated around 63 million tonnes of non hazardous construction and demolition waste in 2022, and old window frames make up a good share of that figure. UPVC is built to last, with a service life of 20 to 35 years or more when it is looked after properly, so ripping frames out early to fit new materials creates waste that did not need to happen, when uPVC spray painting could have given the same fresh result.

The wider PVC industry is already leaning into recycling. The UK and Ireland recycled more than 143,000 tonnes of waste PVC in one recent reporting year, and over 86,000 tonnes of that came from window profiles alone.

Across Europe, recycling networks processed around 766,000 tonnes of PVC waste in 2025, up roughly 5.7% on the year before. Choosing to refinish keeps your frames out of that waste stream for longer and reduces the environmental impact of your renovation.

Here is a short outline of our painting services. Get in touch and we can talk through which one fits your project.

UPVC Window Spraying

Our upvc window spraying service covers casement windows, tilt and turn windows and bay windows in any of our RAL colours. We mask the glass, surrounding walls and any nearby furniture properly, so only the frame gets the new coating. Most homes see a full set of windows finished within a day or two, with a flawless finish and no brush marks.

UPVC Door Spraying

UPVC door resprays for front doors, back doors and French doors all take a lot of weather over the years, and it shows on the paint. We coat the door and the surrounding frame together so the colour matches perfectly, and handles and hinges are removed and refitted afterwards for a clean, perfect finish.

Exterior House Painting

Beyond uPVC painting, we also handle exterior house painting for render, brick walls and timber trim, refreshing the whole exterior look of a home in one visit. This is a good option if you want to transform the whole front of the property at the same time as your windows and doors, rather than doing it in stages, giving the exterior a consistent appearance throughout.

Kitchen Spray Painting

Tired kitchen cabinets and units can be refinished rather than ripped out, which saves a huge amount compared to a full kitchen renovation. Worktops and furniture are covered before we start, and we use the same specialist coatings we use on uPVC surfaces, giving cabinet doors a smooth, durable finish that copes with daily wear.

Garage Door Spraying

Garage doors take a battering from rain and weather conditions, and faded or chipped paint is one of the first details people notice about a property. We refinish both up and over and sectional garage doors on site, usually completed within a single visit, giving flawless results every time.

Roof Painting

Roof painting can transform the colour of tiles, sheeting or guttering without a full reroof. It is an effective method for improving kerb appeal and protecting the surface from further UV damage and weather conditions for years to come.

Industrial Spray Painting

For warehouses, factories and other industrial sites, we spray steelwork, doors and cladding using coatings built for heavy use. Industrial work is planned around your operating hours to keep minimal disruption to production.

Commercial Spray Painting

Commercial spray painting services for shops, offices and other commercial properties often need spraying done outside normal hours so customers or staff are not affected. We plan around your schedule and can match brand colours precisely using the RAL colour chart for a consistent appearance.

Cladding Spraying

Cladding on modern builds and refurbished properties can fade or discolour over time. Spraying cladding brings the colour back and can transform the whole exterior without replacing the panels themselves.

Shop Front Spraying

A worn shop front puts people off before they even walk in. We recoat frames, doors and surrounds to match your brand, giving the whole front of the building a fresh coat with minimal disruption to trading hours. Fill out our form for a quote on shop front spraying & painting.

Roller Shutter Painting

Roller shutters get scratched, faded and covered in general wear from daily use. We offer a roller shutter painting service to coat shutters in your chosen colour, including branded shutters for commercial properties, so they look presentable both open and closed.

Every uPVC spray painting job follows the same careful process, whether it's a single window or a full commercial building. We start with a wash down to remove dirt, algae and built up grime from the surface. Any flaking paint or damaged areas get sanded back and prepped so the new coating has something solid to hold onto, and nearby walls and furniture are covered throughout.

Traditional painting with brushes and rollers often leaves an uneven texture and visible lines, which is one of the main reasons people move away from brushes for a task this size. Next comes a primer coat, followed by the topcoat itself, sprayed on rather than applied with brushes by hand, for an even finish without brush marks. We use premium exterior grade paint and specialist coatings, not generic paint from a hardware store, so the finish lasts far longer outdoors. Paint is touch dry within minutes and fully cured within 24 hours, though we recommend leaving a full day before handling frames roughly.

Most residential jobs are completed within a day, and larger commercial or industrial projects can run to several days depending on scale. We talk you through timing at the quote stage, using the highest quality equipment and coatings, so you know what to expect before any building work starts.

Based on recent projects, a standard uPVC window respray typically comes in around £150 per window. A uPVC door and frame respray is commonly closer to £230. Whole house jobs covering a full set of windows and doors often average around £1,350, though this depends on how many windows, doors and extras like garage doors or gutters are included.

For comparison, a full set of replacement uPVC windows for an average three bedroom home is commonly estimated at £4,000 or more, so spray painting tends to work out considerably cheaper than full replacements for most households. Coloured uPVC bought new can also come in around 10% to 20% dearer than standard white frames, which is another reason a cost effective respray or a round of uPVC painting appeals to homeowners who are not ready to commit to full replacements just yet.

**These figures are a rough guide based on typical projects, covering prep work, primer and paint. The actual cost varies depending on the size, condition and number of surfaces involved, so we always confirm exact pricing after a proper look at your property.
