Respray Your uPVC Instead of Replacing It
Yes, the uPVC windows, doors, conservatory frames, fascias and soffits on a Mexborough 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, 34 miles (about 46 minutes by road) from Mexborough. Of the 12,220 properties around Mexborough centre, 34% were built from 1973 onwards and 24% before 1919, which shapes the likely condition of the frames and the colours that suit them.

When the homes were built
When homes in Mexborough were built, and what that means for the frames
Around Mexborough centre, the Valuation Office Agency counts 12,220 properties: 24% built before 1919, 15% between the wars, 27% from 1945 to 1972, 16% from 1973 to 1999 and 19% since 2000. The figure that stands out is the 24% (about 2,920 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 2,920 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 16% were built from 1973 to 1999, against a 19% average, so fewer homes here still have the first-generation uPVC they were built with.
34% of properties here (about 4,190) were built from 1973 onwards, close to the 36% average, and 39% (about 4,780) predate 1939, so in Mexborough 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 Mexborough, and a worked price
Of the 11,299 households counted around Mexborough centre in the 2021 Census, 18% live in detached houses, 41% in semi-detached, 31% in terraced houses and 10% in flats. The largest group is semi-detached houses, about 4,670 households or 41% (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.
Terraced houses make up 31% of households here, about 3,490 (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 3,490 homes that share walls with neighbours, adjoining frames, brickwork and pavements are only centimetres away and are sheeted before any spraying.
About 10,160 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
57% 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 11,299 households; a typical job takes 1 to 2 days either way.
24% of homes here, about 2,660, 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 Mexborough
With a mix of 24% pre-1919 and 34% post-1973 properties among the 12,220 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 Mexborough.

Will coloured uPVC suit an older house in Mexborough?
Usually, if the colour is chosen with care: about 2,920 properties in Mexborough (24%) predate 1919, and on old stone or brick a heritage green, cream or basalt grey tends to look more at home than white, though if the building is listed or in a conservation area, check with the planning authority first.
