If you are looking into UPVC spraying, the first question on your mind is almost certainly: how much is this going to cost? It is a fair question, and one that deserves a straight answer rather than the vague "prices from..." you see on most websites.
The truth is that UPVC spraying costs vary depending on what you are having sprayed, how many items, the condition of the UPVC, and where you are in the country. But I can give you realistic price ranges based on the thousands of projects we have completed at UPVC Spray Team over the past 11 years. These are real figures, not theoretical estimates.
Here are the typical price ranges you can expect to pay for professional UPVC spraying in 2026. These are guide prices for work carried out by a reputable company using professional 2K polyurethane paint with full preparation and a guarantee.
For a standard three-bedroom semi-detached house with around eight to ten windows, you can expect to pay between £800 and £1,500 for all windows sprayed. Individual window prices typically range from £80 to £150 per window depending on size and complexity. Larger properties with more windows or harder-to-reach frames will be towards the higher end.
A single UPVC front door typically costs between £150 and £300 to spray, depending on the style and whether it includes side panels or a top light. Back doors and French doors fall into a similar range. If you are having your door sprayed at the same time as your windows, many companies will include it at a reduced rate as part of the overall project.
Conservatories are larger projects and pricing depends heavily on the size and design. A small lean-to conservatory might cost between £600 and £1,000 to spray. A larger Victorian or P-shaped conservatory could be £1,200 to £2,500 or more. The roof, if it is UPVC rather than glass or polycarbonate, adds to the cost.
If you only need individual window frames sprayed rather than a full house, prices typically start from around £80 per frame for a standard casement window and go up to £200 or more for large bay windows or feature windows. The cost per frame usually drops if you are having multiple frames done in the same visit.
Spraying fascia boards, soffits, and guttering is often added to a window spraying project. For a typical three-bedroom house, expect to pay between £400 and £800 for all external trim. This is significantly cheaper than replacing UPVC fascias and soffits entirely, which can easily cost twice as much.
No two properties are identical, which is why prices vary. Here are the main factors that influence what you will pay.
The more windows, doors, and frames you have sprayed, the higher the total cost. However, the price per item usually decreases when you are having more done at once because the sprayer's setup time, travel, and masking effort is spread across the whole project. Having your entire house done in one go is almost always better value than having individual items sprayed on separate occasions.
UPVC that is in good condition requires less preparation than frames that are heavily weathered, chalky, or damaged. If your UPVC has significant surface degradation, the sprayer will need to spend more time on preparation, which can increase the cost. Frames with existing paint that is peeling or flaking may also require additional work to strip back before new paint can be applied. Our guide on how to prepare UPVC for spray painting explains what preparation involves.
Ground-floor windows that can be sprayed from standing height are straightforward. Windows on upper floors, dormers, or hard-to-reach areas may require ladders, scaffolding, or additional time, which can add to the cost. Similarly, windows with complex glazing bars, Georgian bars, or intricate designs take longer to mask and spray than simple casement frames.
Standard colours like anthracite grey, black, and white are generally priced the same. However, if you choose a specialist colour that requires a custom mix, there may be a small additional charge for the paint itself. In practice, this is usually modest and should not significantly affect the overall cost.
Prices can vary depending on where you are in the UK. Generally, work in London and the South East tends to be slightly higher than in other parts of the country, reflecting higher business operating costs. However, the difference is usually not as large as you might expect. At UPVC Spray Team, we work across the UK and aim to keep our pricing consistent and fair regardless of location.
One of the biggest advantages of UPVC spraying is the cost saving compared to replacing your windows and doors with new coloured UPVC. Here is how the numbers typically compare.
For a standard three-bedroom semi with eight to ten windows, replacing all the windows with new anthracite grey UPVC double glazing would typically cost between £5,000 and £12,000 depending on the window company, the specification, and whether scaffolding is needed. Having the same windows professionally sprayed would cost roughly £800 to £1,500. That is a saving of 70 to 85 per cent.
A new coloured UPVC front door, supplied and fitted, typically costs between £800 and £2,000. Spraying your existing door costs £150 to £300. Again, the saving is substantial.
The key point is that if your existing windows and doors are structurally sound, with intact seals and functional hardware, there is no practical reason to replace them just to change the colour. Spraying gives you the same visual result at a fraction of the price. We have covered the full comparison in our benefits of UPVC spray painting guide.
Getting the right price for your project starts with getting the right quotes. Here are my tips for making sure you get a fair deal.
Always get multiple quotes so you can compare. Be wary of quotes that are significantly cheaper than others, as this often means corners are being cut on preparation, paint quality, or both. Equally, the most expensive quote is not always the best. Look for a price that reflects the scope of work and includes a clear guarantee.
A good quote should include all preparation work (cleaning, degreasing, priming), masking and protection of surrounding areas, the paint and materials, labour, and a written guarantee. If any of these are not mentioned, ask. Some companies quote a low price but then add charges for preparation, masking, or primer as extras.
As I have mentioned in our guide on what spray paint to use on UPVC, the type of paint used makes a significant difference to the durability of the finish. A quote based on professional 2K polyurethane paint will be higher than one using cheaper single-pack acrylic, but the result will last years longer. Make sure you are comparing like for like.
Any reputable UPVC spraying company will offer a written guarantee. Five years is reasonable, and many companies offer 10 years. At UPVC Spray Team, we guarantee our work for 10 years because we are confident in the materials and process we use. If a company will not put their guarantee in writing, that is a warning sign.
A quote given over the phone or based solely on photos is unlikely to be accurate. A professional sprayer should visit your property, assess the condition of the UPVC, check access requirements, and discuss your colour preferences before providing a price. This visit should be free and without obligation.
In nearly every situation, yes. UPVC spraying offers a dramatic visual transformation at a cost that most homeowners find very reasonable compared to the alternatives. The finish, when done professionally, lasts 10 years or more, which means the annual cost of maintaining your property's appearance is very low indeed.
Beyond the direct cost saving, there is also the value that a fresh, modern appearance adds to your property. Kerb appeal matters, both for your own enjoyment and if you ever come to sell. Estate agents consistently report that updated external joinery, including coloured UPVC, makes a positive impression on potential buyers.
The disruption factor is worth considering too. Window replacement is a multi-day project that involves removing frames, making good internal plasterwork, redecorating around the reveals, and potentially disposing of old units. UPVC spraying is typically completed in a single day with no internal work required. Your windows stay in place, your curtains and blinds do not need to come down, and there is no mess inside your home.
Spraying UPVC windows grey, whether anthracite grey, agate grey, or any other shade, costs the same as any other colour. For a typical three-bedroom house with eight to ten windows, expect to pay between £800 and £1,500 for the complete job including preparation, masking, primer, topcoat, and a 10-year guarantee.
Individual window frames typically cost between £80 and £150 each depending on size. The cost per frame usually reduces when you are having multiple frames done in the same visit. A full house of window frames is almost always better value than having individual frames done separately.
A standard UPVC front door costs between £150 and £300 to spray. This includes full preparation, priming, painting, and a guarantee. Doors with side panels, fan lights, or glazed sections are towards the higher end. Back doors and French doors fall into a similar price range.
Conservatory spraying costs depend on the size and design. Small lean-to conservatories start from around £600. Larger conservatories with more framework and a UPVC roof can cost £1,500 to £2,500 or more. It is always best to get a specific quote based on your conservatory.
For a typical three-bedroom house, spraying all fascia boards, soffits, and guttering costs between £400 and £800. This is often added to a window spraying project at a reduced combined rate.
Spraying is significantly cheaper. For a typical house, spraying costs roughly 20 to 30 per cent of what replacement would cost. You get the same colour change and visual transformation without the expense and disruption of fitting new windows.
They should. Any reputable quote will include all preparation work as standard. This means cleaning, degreasing, abrading the surface, applying adhesion promoter, and priming. If a company quotes a low price and then charges extra for preparation, be cautious. Preparation is not optional; it is what makes the finish last.
Some companies will give a rough estimate over the phone, but an accurate quote requires a site visit. The condition of the UPVC, the number and size of items, access requirements, and any specific challenges all need to be assessed in person. At UPVC Spray Team, site visits and quotes are always free and without obligation.
Price differences usually come down to the quality of paint being used, the thoroughness of preparation, and whether the company offers a genuine guarantee. A very cheap quote often means single-pack paint, minimal preparation, or no guarantee. The finish may look acceptable initially but is unlikely to last. With UPVC spraying, as with most things, you get what you pay for.
At UPVC Spray Team, we provide clear, honest pricing with no hidden extras. Every quote includes full preparation, professional 2K polyurethane paint, and our 10-year guarantee. We cover the entire UK and are happy to visit your property to assess the work and provide a detailed written quote at no cost. Request your free quote today.
