Respray Your uPVC Instead of Replacing It
Yes, the uPVC windows, doors, conservatory frames, fascias and soffits on a Garforth 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, 7 miles (about 16 minutes by road) from Garforth. Of the 8,680 properties around Garforth centre, 33% were built from 1973 onwards and 9% before 1919, which shapes the likely condition of the frames and the colours that suit them.

When the homes were built
When homes in Garforth were built, and what that means for the frames
Around Garforth centre, the Valuation Office Agency counts 8,680 properties: 9% built before 1919, 8% between the wars, 50% from 1945 to 1972, 20% from 1973 to 1999 and 12% since 2000. The largest difference from other towns is the 50% (about 4,370 properties) built from 1945 to 1972, well above the 26% average. Those 4,370 houses went up with timber, steel or aluminium windows, and most are now on a second set, usually uPVC fitted from the 1980s onwards. Across those 4,370 properties, expect frames that still open and seal well but have faded, yellowed or greyed with age, which is the condition a respray is meant for. By contrast, only 9% were built before 1919, against a 21% average, so fewer homes here are old buildings carrying replacement uPVC on stone or early brick.
33% of properties here (about 2,830) were built from 1973 onwards, close to the 36% average, and 17% (about 1,480) predate 1939, so in Garforth 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 Garforth, and a worked price
Of the 8,247 households counted around Garforth centre in the 2021 Census, 27% live in detached houses, 55% in semi-detached, 11% in terraced houses and 6% in flats. The largest group is semi-detached houses, about 4,550 households or 55% (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 82% of households, about 6,780 (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 6,780 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 7,710 households here (94%) 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
81% of households own their home, about 6,660, above the 63% average, and only 11% 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 Garforth
With a mix of 9% pre-1919 and 33% post-1973 properties among the 8,680 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 Garforth.

uPVC Spray Painting in Garforth: Questions
How much does uPVC spray painting cost in Garforth?
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 Garforth is a semi-detached house (about 4,550 of 8,247 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 Garforth?
Most jobs take 1 to 2 days on site and a whole-house package 2 to 3 days, in dry weather; as Garforth is 7 miles (about 16 minutes by road) from our workshop, on a multi-day job we are back on site first thing each morning.
Can faded or yellowed uPVC in Garforth 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 4,370 Garforth properties built from 1945 to 1972 (50%); 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 Garforth from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Garforth is about 7 miles by road, roughly 16 minutes away, to the 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 Garforth?
Usually not for an ordinary house, but listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas can need consent from Leeds City 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.
