Respray Your uPVC Instead of Replacing It
Yes, the uPVC windows, doors, conservatory frames, fascias and soffits on a Castleford home can be resprayed in a new colour rather than replaced: prices start from £80 a window and £200 a uPVC door, most jobs take 1 to 2 days on site, and because we use Kolorbond-certified coatings every uPVC respray carries a 10-year written guarantee.
Our workshop is in Sheepscar, Leeds, 14 miles (about 23 minutes by road) from Castleford. Of the 11,380 properties around Castleford centre, 33% were built from 1973 onwards and 39% before 1919, which shapes the likely condition of the frames and the colours that suit them.

When the homes were built
When homes in Castleford were built, and what that means for the frames
Around Castleford centre, the Valuation Office Agency counts 11,380 properties: 39% built before 1919, 11% between the wars, 18% from 1945 to 1972, 8% from 1973 to 1999 and 24% since 2000. The figure that stands out is the 39% (about 4,470 properties) built before 1919, well above the 21% average; houses of that age were built with timber sashes and panelled doors, so any uPVC on them is a later replacement. On those 4,470 older buildings, bright white plastic frames are often the one thing that looks out of place against stone or old brick, so recolouring them in a softer shade makes a bigger difference than it would on a newer house; if yours still has its original timber windows, those need a different coating system and are quoted separately. The 24% built since 2000 is also above the 17% average: about 2,770 newer homes with factory-white uPVC less than 30 years old.
33% of properties here (about 3,730) were built from 1973 onwards, close to the 36% average, and 50% (about 5,750) predate 1939, so in Castleford you will find both original uPVC on newer houses and replacement frames on older ones; the survey tells us which you have.
Types of home in Castleford, and a worked price
Of the 10,496 households counted around Castleford centre in the 2021 Census, 11% live in detached houses, 31% in semi-detached, 45% in terraced houses and 14% in flats. The largest group is terraced houses, about 4,680 households or 45% (average 27%), and at our published rates a terraced house with three windows and a front door on the street side would come to roughly £440 to £800 before fascias, soffits or a conservatory, with the exact price set after we check frame sizes, condition and access.
Terraced houses make up 45% of households here, about 4,680 (well above the 27% average), and on a terrace the street side matters most, so a front-elevation respray of the windows and door is a common, affordable scope. For those 4,680 homes that share walls with neighbours, adjoining frames, brickwork and pavements are only centimetres away and are sheeted before any spraying.
About 9,030 households here (86%) live in houses rather than flats, and many houses with uPVC windows also have a uPVC roofline of fascias, soffits and bargeboards that weathers alongside them; spraying the roofline in the same visit as the frames ties the colour together and is usually more economical than two separate jobs.
Owners, landlords and timing
61% of households own their home and 21% rent privately (averages 63% and 19%), so owners weighing a respray against replacement and landlords who care most about speed are both well represented among the 10,496 households; a typical job takes 1 to 2 days either way.

How a Kolorbond uPVC Respray Works
uPVC is smooth and non-porous, so ordinary paint has little to grip and soon peels; a proper respray uses coatings made for uPVC, applied in a set order:
- Survey: frames checked for soundness
- Deep clean to remove chalking
- Specialist uPVC adhesion primer
- Two Kolorbond-certified topcoats, HVLP-sprayed
- Joint inspection, then written guarantee
Glass, seals, brickwork and handles are masked throughout, and we use Kolorbond-certified coatings made to bond to uPVC, which is what allows us to give a 10-year written guarantee on uPVC; a professionally applied coating lasts 10 years or more in normal conditions, and our article on how long uPVC spray painting lasts in Yorkshire weather explains what affects that.
Respray or replace?
Replacing every uPVC window and door on a house typically costs £8,000 to £15,000 and counts as controlled work under the Building Regulations, whereas a respray at £2,000 to £5,500 leaves the existing double glazing, seals and hinges untouched; replacement is still the right call if frames are warped or cracked or the sealed glass has failed, and we will tell you so at the survey; see our comparison of uPVC spraying and window replacement costs.
Choosing a colour in Castleford
With 39% of properties here (about 4,470) built before 1919, the colours that usually sit best are the softer ones: heritage greens, cream, off-white and mid greys such as RAL 7012 basalt grey, rather than stark white or jet black, though anthracite grey (RAL 7016) still works against most stone and brick; our guide to which colours uPVC can be sprayed shows the main options.
A uPVC conservatory can be resprayed on its own or with the house (read what spraying a uPVC conservatory involves), and if it is only the front door you want to change, see front door spraying in Castleford.
