Respray Your uPVC Instead of Replacing It
Yes, the uPVC windows, doors, conservatory frames, fascias and soffits on a Huntington 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, 29 miles (about 42 minutes by road) from Huntington. Of the 5,270 properties around Huntington centre, 42% were built from 1973 onwards and 7% before 1919, which shapes the likely condition of the frames and the colours that suit them.

When the homes were built
When homes in Huntington were built, and what that means for the frames
Around Huntington centre, the Valuation Office Agency counts 5,270 properties: 7% built before 1919, 14% between the wars, 37% from 1945 to 1972, 28% from 1973 to 1999 and 14% since 2000. The largest difference from other towns is the 37% (about 1,930 properties) built from 1945 to 1972, above the 26% average. Those 1,930 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 1,930 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. The 28% built from 1973 to 1999 is also above the 19% average: about 1,470 homes where the original uPVC is now roughly 25 to 50 years old.
In total 42% of properties here, about 2,200, were built from 1973 onwards when uPVC was the usual window, above the 36% average for the towns we cover, while 21% predate 1939. Many of those 2,200 homes have frames that have only ever been white, and a respray changes that for far less than replacement windows.
Types of home in Huntington, and a worked price
Of the 5,007 households counted around Huntington centre in the 2021 Census, 23% live in detached houses, 51% in semi-detached, 14% in terraced houses and 13% in flats. The largest group is semi-detached houses, about 2,530 households or 51% (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 73% of households, about 3,670 (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 3,670 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 4,370 households here (87%) 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
65% of households own their home and 10% 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 5,007 households; a typical job takes 1 to 2 days either way.
22% of homes here, about 1,110, are socially rented (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 Huntington
With a mix of 7% pre-1919 and 42% post-1973 properties among the 5,270 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 Huntington.

uPVC Spray Painting in Huntington: Questions
How much does uPVC spray painting cost in Huntington?
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 Huntington is a semi-detached house (about 2,530 of 5,007 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 Huntington?
Most jobs take 1 to 2 days on site and a whole-house package 2 to 3 days, in dry weather; as Huntington is 29 miles (about 42 minutes by road) from our workshop, we book the days back to back and finish without gaps.
Can faded or yellowed uPVC in Huntington 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 1,930 Huntington properties built from 1945 to 1972 (37%); 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 Huntington from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Huntington is about 29 miles by road, roughly 42 minutes away, to the north-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 Huntington?
Usually not for an ordinary house, but listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas can need consent from City of York 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.
