Is UPVC Spraying Worth It? 5 Questions Homeowners Ask Before Booking

1. Will the Paint Peel Off?

This is the number one concern, and it is completely understandable. If you have ever seen a badly painted UPVC door where the coating is flaking away, you will be cautious. The key difference is the coating system and preparation.

Professional UPVC spraying uses a specialist bonding primer that chemically adheres to the plastic surface, followed by a polyurethane topcoat applied by airless spray. This is not brush-on paint from a DIY store. When the surface is properly cleaned, degreased, and abraded before application, the coating bonds permanently. We guarantee our work for a minimum of 10 years against peeling, flaking, and cracking.

2. How Much Will It Cost?

Most homeowners are pleasantly surprised. A full house of UPVC spraying typically costs £800–£2,000 depending on the number of frames. That is around 20–30% of the cost of replacement windows. A single front door starts from £150–£250. We provide exact, fixed-price quotations after a free survey, so there are no surprises.

3. Can I Choose Any Colour?

Yes. Unlike replacement windows which are limited to factory stock colours, spraying offers virtually unlimited colour choice. We can match any RAL or BS colour, or colour-match to a physical sample such as a paint swatch, fabric, or even a photograph. You can also use our colour preview tool on our website to see how different colours look on a property before committing.

4. How Long Does It Take?

Most homes are completed in a single day. Larger properties with 15+ frames or conservatories may need two days. The work happens entirely outside, so there is no disruption inside your home. The coating is touch-dry within 30 minutes and fully cured within 48 hours.

5. Will It Add Value to My Home?

Fresh, modern-looking windows and doors make a significant difference to kerb appeal, which directly affects first impressions for buyers and valuers. Estate agents consistently tell us that properties with updated exteriors attract more interest and higher offers. While we cannot guarantee a specific return, the cost of UPVC spraying is so low relative to replacement that even a small uplift in property value represents a strong return on investment.
