Respray Your uPVC Instead of Replacing It
Yes, the uPVC windows, doors, conservatory frames, fascias and soffits on a Hull 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, 61 miles (about 1 hour 11 minutes by road) from Hull. Of the 125,050 properties across the Hull City Council area, 35% were built from 1973 onwards and 20% before 1919, which shapes the likely condition of the frames and the colours that suit them.

When the homes were built
When homes in Hull were built, and what that means for the frames
Across the Hull City Council area, the Valuation Office Agency counts 125,050 properties: 20% built before 1919, 23% between the wars, 22% from 1945 to 1972, 22% from 1973 to 1999 and 13% since 2000. The distinctive figure is the 23% (about 28,640 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 28,640 homes have been replaced in uPVC, the curved runs of frame are expensive to remake but straightforward to respray. With 43% of properties here built before 1939, a good share of the uPVC you see is replacement frames on older walls. The 22% built from 1973 to 1999 is also above the 19% average: about 27,640 homes where the original uPVC is now roughly 25 to 50 years old.
35% of properties here (about 43,520) were built from 1973 onwards, close to the 36% average, and 43% (about 53,520) predate 1939, so in Hull 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 Hull, and a worked price
Of the 115,471 households counted across the Hull City Council area in the 2021 Census, 8% live in detached houses, 29% in semi-detached, 47% in terraced houses and 15% in flats. The largest group is terraced houses, about 53,920 households or 47% (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.
15% of households, about 17,670, live in flats (close to the 15% average), and in most blocks the windows and outside walls are the freeholder's or management company's responsibility under the lease, so changing the colour of one flat's frames needs their written consent first, and upper-floor frames may need a tower or powered access, which we price into the quote rather than adding later.
About 97,570 households here (84%) 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
24% of households across the Hull City Council area rent privately (about 27,600), above the 19% average, so landlords own a fair share of the homes here. With 48% owner-occupied as well, the practical questions are how a respray compares with new windows and whether it fits between lets: it is outside work that usually finishes in 1 to 2 days, so tenants can stay put.
27% of homes here, about 31,180, are socially rented (well above the 17% average), and if you rent from the council or a housing association the windows belong to your landlord and you would need their permission before any colour change.

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 Hull
With a mix of 20% pre-1919 and 35% post-1973 properties among the 125,050 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 Hull.

uPVC Spray Painting in Hull: Questions
How much does uPVC spray painting cost in Hull?
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 Hull is a terraced house (about 53,920 of 115,471 households), and a terraced house with three windows and a front door on the street side works out at roughly £440 to £800 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 Hull?
Most jobs take 1 to 2 days on site and a whole-house package 2 to 3 days, in dry weather; at 61 miles (about 1 hour 11 minutes by road) from our workshop, Hull jobs are planned as one continuous block with the dates confirmed in writing.
Can you respray uPVC windows on a flat in Hull?
Yes, with the right permission: about 17,670 households in Hull (15%) live in flats, and in most blocks the freeholder or management company controls the outside of the building, so get their written consent first; any tower or powered access needed for upper floors is priced into the quote.
Can faded or yellowed uPVC in Hull 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 28,640 Hull properties built between the wars (23%); 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.
Can you work around tenants in Hull?
Yes: about 27,600 households in Hull (24%) rent privately, and a uPVC respray is outside work usually finished in 1 to 2 days, so it can be done between tenancies or with tenants at home.
How far is Hull from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Hull is about 61 miles by road, roughly 1 hour 11 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 Hull?
Usually not for an ordinary house, but listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas can need consent from Hull 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.
