Respray Your uPVC Instead of Replacing It
Yes, the uPVC windows, doors, conservatory frames, fascias and soffits on a Cross Hills 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, 24 miles (about 47 minutes by road) from Cross Hills. Of the 5,510 properties around Cross Hills centre, 34% were built from 1973 onwards and 30% before 1919, which shapes the likely condition of the frames and the colours that suit them.

When the homes were built
When homes in Cross Hills were built, and what that means for the frames
Around Cross Hills centre, the Valuation Office Agency counts 5,510 properties: 30% built before 1919, 11% between the wars, 25% from 1945 to 1972, 16% from 1973 to 1999 and 18% since 2000. The figure that stands out is the 30% (about 1,660 properties) built before 1919, 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 1,660 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. By contrast, only 11% were built between the wars, against a 16% average, so 1920s and 1930s bay-fronted houses are a smaller part of the local mix than elsewhere.
34% of properties here (about 1,880) were built from 1973 onwards, close to the 36% average, and 41% (about 2,280) predate 1939, so in Cross Hills 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 Cross Hills, and a worked price
Of the 5,228 households counted around Cross Hills centre in the 2021 Census, 21% live in detached houses, 35% in semi-detached, 35% in terraced houses and 10% in flats. The largest group is terraced houses, about 1,820 households or 35% (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 35% of households here, about 1,820 (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 1,820 homes that share walls with neighbours, adjoining frames, brickwork and pavements are only centimetres away and are sheeted before any spraying.
About 4,720 households here (90%) 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
75% of households own their home, about 3,930, above the 63% average, and only 14% rent privately; for those owner-occupiers the comparison that matters is with replacement, which our service page puts at £8,000 to £15,000 for a whole house against £2,000 to £5,500 for a full respray with a 10-year written guarantee.

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 Cross Hills
With 30% of properties here (about 1,660) 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 Cross Hills.

What Customers Say About Our UPVC respray Work
“Excellent service. I had two outside uPVC doors and a garage door sprayed - about 20 years old and tatty, they now look amazing. Very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.”
“Had new anthracite sliding doors fitted after major construction work, and Matt sprayed our old white uPVC windows to match perfectly. A massive saving on having new ones fitted.”
“Used this company to have our porch and back door colour matched and sprayed to match our new uPVC windows. They look brand new. Friendly team and easy to work with.”
