Respray Your uPVC Instead of Replacing It
Yes, the uPVC windows, doors, conservatory frames, fascias and soffits on a Doncaster 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, 32 miles (about 44 minutes by road) from Doncaster. Of the 143,540 properties across the City of City of Doncaster Council area, 37% were built from 1973 onwards and 13% before 1919, which shapes the likely condition of the frames and the colours that suit them.

When the homes were built
When homes in Doncaster were built, and what that means for the frames
Across the City of City of Doncaster Council area, the Valuation Office Agency counts 143,540 properties: 13% built before 1919, 21% between the wars, 29% from 1945 to 1972, 21% from 1973 to 1999 and 16% since 2000. The distinctive figure is the 21% (about 29,570 properties) built between 1919 and 1939, above the 16% average. Houses of the 1920s and 1930s often have bay windows, and where the original timber or steel bays on those 29,570 homes have been replaced in uPVC, the curved runs of frame are expensive to remake but straightforward to respray. With 34% of properties here built before 1939, a good share of the uPVC you see is replacement frames on older walls. The 29% built from 1945 to 1972 is also above the 26% average: about 42,200 post-war homes, most of them now on their second set of windows.
37% of properties here (about 52,680) were built from 1973 onwards, close to the 36% average, and 34% (about 48,660) predate 1939, so in Doncaster 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 Doncaster, and a worked price
Of the 133,480 households counted across the City of City of Doncaster Council area in the 2021 Census, 24% live in detached houses, 46% in semi-detached, 21% in terraced houses and 9% in flats. The largest group is semi-detached houses, about 60,730 households or 46% (average 37%), and at our published rates a semi-detached house with seven windows and two doors would come to roughly £960 to £1,750 before fascias, soffits or a conservatory, with the exact price set after we check frame sizes, condition and access.
Detached and semi-detached houses together account for 70% of households, about 92,900 (average 58%), and houses like these tend to have more elevations, longer runs of fascia and soffit, and often a conservatory or porch. For those 92,900 homes, the whole-house package of £2,000 to £5,500 on our service page is a more realistic guide than a per-window price.
About 121,070 households here (91%) 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
63% of households own their home and 19% 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 133,480 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 Doncaster
With a mix of 13% pre-1919 and 37% post-1973 properties among the 143,540 here, there is no single house style to design around, which is one reason anthracite grey (RAL 7016) is so widely chosen: it suits red brick, buff brick, stone and render alike, with sage and darker greens, cream and black the other common choices, and our guide to the colours uPVC can be sprayed explains the 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 Doncaster.

What Customers Say About Our UPVC respray Work
“I've had my white uPVC bay windows sprayed grey and they've done a great job. The paint looks just like a factory finish and totally transformed the house.”
“We used ColourHaus to spray our white uPVC windows graphite. The finished result was amazing and transformed our house for a fraction of the cost of replacement.”
“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.”

uPVC Spray Painting in Doncaster: Questions
How much does uPVC spray painting cost in Doncaster?
Windows are £80 to £150 each, uPVC doors £200 to £350, and a whole-house package with fascias and soffits is typically £2,000 to £5,500; the most common home in Doncaster is a semi-detached house (about 60,730 of 133,480 households), and a semi-detached house with seven windows and two doors works out at roughly £960 to £1,750 before your fixed quote.
What guarantee comes with a uPVC respray?
Every uPVC respray done with Kolorbond-certified coatings carries a 10-year written guarantee covering adhesion and colour stability, issued when the job is signed off.
How long does a uPVC respray take in Doncaster?
Most jobs take 1 to 2 days on site and a whole-house package 2 to 3 days, in dry weather; as Doncaster is 32 miles (about 44 minutes by road) from our workshop, we book the days back to back and finish without gaps.
Can faded or yellowed uPVC in Doncaster be resprayed?
Usually, yes: chalking, yellowing and greying are surface changes caused by sunlight, and they are common on the replacement and first-generation frames of the 29,570 Doncaster properties built between the wars (21%); deep cleaning removes the residue before the primer goes on, and frames that are warped or cracked are better replaced, which we will say at the survey.
How far is Doncaster from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Doncaster is about 32 miles by road, roughly 44 minutes away, to the south-east. We confirm visit dates and anything distance-related in your fixed-price quote before you commit.
Do I need permission to change exterior colours in Doncaster?
Usually not for an ordinary house, but listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas can need consent from City of City of Doncaster Council. If your home is in one, check with the council first; we can give you the exact RAL or BS colour reference for the application.
