uPVC Spraying Cost: Windows, Doors and Whole House Prices

uPVC spraying prices for windows, doors and a whole house

Checkatrade’s uPVC spraying cost guide, in a table last updated in July 2026, gives these UK prices for spraying uPVC, all excluding VAT.

Job	Price excluding VAT
Spraying every uPVC window and door on a house	£900 to £1,800, £1,350 on average
Spraying a uPVC window	£150 per window on average
Spraying a uPVC door	£230 per door and frame on average
Spraying a uPVC garage door	£250 to £350, £300 on average

The size of the job, the type of spray and where you are in the UK all move the price, Checkatrade’s uPVC guide says. Use the whole-house range when every uPVC window and door is being sprayed, and the window and door prices when only some of them are. Conservatories, patio doors, drainpipes, guttering and garden rooms can be sprayed as well as windows and doors.

uPVC spraying cost worked out by window and door

To price your own house, count the uPVC windows and doors you want sprayed, multiply each count by its average price and add the two totals together. As a worked example on Checkatrade’s average prices, spraying the front of a house with 4 uPVC windows at £150 each and a front door and frame at £230 comes to £830, excluding VAT.

A house with 8 uPVC windows and a front and back door comes to £1,660 at the same average prices, inside the £900 to £1,800 range for spraying a whole house. Spraying only the front and back doors comes to £460 at Checkatrade’s £230 average per door and frame.

Batch-spraying several windows at once can bring the cost down, and so can spraying the front and back doors in one go, Checkatrade’s uPVC guide says. Ask for every window and door you want sprayed in one quote rather than pricing them one at a time.

Can you paint uPVC windows?

You can paint uPVC windows, and spray painting is the method many professionals recommend, Checkatrade’s advice on painting uPVC windows says, though it takes considerable skill.

Never paint new uPVC windows, because of their shiny outer layer, and wait at least a year before painting them, Checkatrade’s uPVC painting advice says.

Changing the colour of uPVC

Whatever colour your uPVC is now, it can be painted, Checkatrade’s advice says, and dark frames going to a lighter colour may need an extra coat. Tell every sprayer the colour your frames are now as well as the colour you want, so each quote allows for the same number of coats.

How uPVC windows are sprayed

The frames are prepared and primed before any colour goes on, and Checkatrade’s uPVC painting advice sets out the job in this order.

Planning permission for spraying uPVC windows and doors

Spraying uPVC windows and doors needs no planning permission, because the Planning Portal names repainting window and door frames among the minor improvements that need no application. Nottingham City Council’s Article 4 Directions restrict changes to windows and doors on specific properties, mostly within conservation areas, in six areas of the city. The six are Devonshire Promenade, Foxhall Road, Sneinton, Strelley Village, Waterloo Promenade and Wellington Terrace, and if your home is in one of them, the council advises using its Minor Works Enquiry Service before the work starts.

uPVC spraying quotes from Nottingham decorators

A sprayer prices the job you describe, so list every window, door and other piece of uPVC you want sprayed. If you want the kitchen cabinets sprayed in the same booking, ask for them as a separate line, so the uPVC prices still compare like for like.

Among the Nottingham decorators compared for spraying, Whites Decorators in Watnall changes the colour of uPVC windows and doors, TopDec Decorating Contractors in Bilborough offers spray painting and Alan Bohan Painting in Arnold lists spraying among its services. Send all three the same list and ask each whether they spray uPVC. All ten decorators on the list give free quotes.
