What factors affect uPVC spraying costs?
The total amount you will pay for uPVC spraying will depend on lots of factors, including:
Number of items: The more uPVC items to be sprayed, the higher the cost will be.
Type of item: The price you pay can depend on whether you choose to have a front door, a garage door, or a window spray painted. Generally, the larger or more complex the item to be sprayed, the more expensive it will be.
Scaffolding: Hard-to-reach areas, particularly those where it is not safe to use a ladder, may need scaffolding erected. This is for safety and to ensure a professional job is done, but it will incur an extra cost.
Number of windows that open: Windows that open take longer to spray due to extra taping and the need to spray the opening edges. The number of windows that are opened will affect the price of the job.
Extras like guttering, conservatory, etc: Not only can doors and windows be spray painted, but you can also choose to have your guttering, drainpipes, conservatory or even your whole home sprayed. Of course, the larger the area to be sprayed, the higher the total will be.
Repairs: It may be necessary to repair any cracks, scratches or holes before spray painting your uPVC items. Unless these are repaired, the finished job will not look perfect. Any repairs will be charged as an extra cost.
What kind of paint do you use?
uPVC has a non-porous finish, which means you need to use paint that will stick to the surface rather than get absorbed by it as wood does. uPVC paints are usually quite thick, and in most cases, good quality paint will need thinning out to go through a spray gun to be applied. Solvent-based paints are popular paints as the solvents evaporate in the air, and the paints harden onto the uPVC as a solid rather than covering it over as a layer.
We use a ‘2 pack paint’, which means that you add the hardener to activate the paint, ensuring firm adherence.
What colour should I choose?
You can choose from a selection of colours From the Ral range or even create your bespoke colour with the help of our colour-matching service.
View the colour page for any questions you may have related to RAL or Farrow & Ball colour swatches.
Is it cheaper to spray rather than replace my windows and doors?
When replacing your windows, yes. Due to supply and demand, window fitting companies will charge you a small premium for coloured uPVC windows such as Grey, Black or Anthracite.
However, when spray painting, the price will not be affected by your colour choice, and in fact, we help you create a colour scheme to match your property at no extra charge.
