UPVC Spraying Costs UK: Windows, Doors & Whole House (2026)
Spraying your UPVC is one of the highest-impact, lowest-cost upgrades you can make to your home's exterior — but what does it actually cost? Here's an honest UK price guide based on real 2026 figures, including what affects the quote and when spraying beats replacing.
Quick answer: typical UPVC spraying costs in 2026
Across the UK, professional UPVC spraying prices currently look like this:
- Per window — £100–£150 depending on size and opening style
- Front or back door — £180–£250 per door including frame
- Garage door — £250–£350
- Conservatory (full structure) — £800–£2,000 depending on size
- Whole house (8–12 windows + doors) — £1,200–£3,000
Our own whole-house UPVC jobs across Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire typically fall between £1,500 and £3,000 — confirmed individually with a free survey and fixed written quote.
What affects the price?
Number of openings. Windows that open take longer: each one needs the opening edges sprayed and masked separately, so a house full of top-openers costs more than fixed panes of the same size.
Access. Ground-floor frames are quick; anything requiring ladders, towers or scaffolding adds time and cost.
Colour choice. Anthracite grey (RAL 7016) is the most popular choice by far — it's also one of the most forgiving colours to apply. Dramatic contrasts like bright red over white can occasionally need an extra coat for full coverage.
Condition. Frames in good condition need standard prep. Chalky, faded or previously painted frames need more intensive preparation.
Add-ons. Guttering, fascias, soffits, garage doors and conservatories can all be done in the same visit — usually at a better combined rate than separate jobs.
Spraying vs replacing: the real comparison
This is where the numbers get striking. Replacement UPVC windows for an average three-bed semi typically cost £6,000–£12,000. Spraying the same frames: £1,500–£3,000. That's a saving of 75–85%.
And spraying has advantages beyond price: there's no structural work, no redecorating afterwards, no weeks of disruption — most homes are finished in a day or two. Your existing double glazing stays exactly as it is; only the colour changes. From the kerb, a sprayed frame in anthracite grey is genuinely indistinguishable from a new coloured unit.
The honest caveat: spraying refreshes appearance. If your windows are draughty, misted between the panes, or the mechanisms are failing, those problems need fixing first — spraying won't solve them. We'll always tell you straight at survey if a frame isn't a good candidate.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to spray one UPVC window?
Most professional UPVC sprayers charge £100–£150 per window including preparation and materials, depending on size and how many open.
Is it cheaper to spray or replace UPVC windows?
Spraying is typically 75–85% cheaper. A whole house of sprayed frames costs £1,200–£3,000, where replacement windows for the same house commonly run £6,000–£12,000.
How long does UPVC spraying take?
A typical three-bed semi is completed in 1–2 days. Doors take a few hours each.
Does UPVC spraying last?
With proper degreasing, keying and specialist adhesion primers, a sprayed finish is designed to last many years — far longer than DIY aerosol paints, which usually fail within a year.
Can you spray interior UPVC too?
Yes — window boards, internal frames, patio doors and conservatories can all be sprayed inside and out in matching colours.
