Respray Your uPVC Instead of Replacing It
Yes, the uPVC windows, doors, conservatory frames, fascias and soffits on a Steeton 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, 23 miles (about 45 minutes by road) from Steeton. Of the 2,310 properties around Steeton centre, 45% were built from 1973 onwards and 26% before 1919, which shapes the likely condition of the frames and the colours that suit them.

When the homes were built
When homes in Steeton were built, and what that means for the frames
Around Steeton centre, the Valuation Office Agency counts 2,310 properties: 26% built before 1919, 8% between the wars, 20% from 1945 to 1972, 20% from 1973 to 1999 and 26% since 2000. The standout figure is the 26% (about 590 properties) built since 2000, well above the 17% average. Most of those 590 homes had white uPVC fitted from new, so a respray there is usually about changing the colour rather than rescuing tired plastic. If your home is one of them and an installer's or developer's window warranty is still running, check its terms before any coating work; we can give you the product details. The 26% built before 1919 is also above the 21% average: about 600 older buildings where any uPVC has replaced original timber.
In total 45% of properties here, about 1,050, were built from 1973 onwards when uPVC was the usual window, above the 36% average for the towns we cover, while 34% predate 1939. Many of those 1,050 homes have frames that have only ever been white, and a respray changes that for far less than replacement windows.
Types of home in Steeton, and a worked price
Of the 2,238 households counted around Steeton centre in the 2021 Census, 21% live in detached houses, 36% in semi-detached, 36% in terraced houses and 8% in flats. The largest group is semi-detached houses, about 810 households or 36% (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 36% of households here, about 800 (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 800 homes that share walls with neighbours, adjoining frames, brickwork and pavements are only centimetres away and are sheeted before any spraying.
About 2,070 households here (92%) 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
80% of households own their home, about 1,780, above the 63% average, and only 16% 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 Steeton
On the 45% of properties here built since 1973 (about 1,050), the usual change is from white to a darker modern frame such as anthracite grey (RAL 7016), black (RAL 9005) or a deep green, so read why anthracite grey suits so many Yorkshire houses before choosing and see the full range of colours uPVC can be sprayed.
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 Steeton.

What Customers Say About Our UPVC respray Work
“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.”
“Had new anthracite sliding doors fitted after major construction work, and Matt sprayed our old white uPVC windows to match perfectly. A massive saving on having new ones fitted.”
“Used this company to have our porch and back door colour matched and sprayed to match our new uPVC windows. They look brand new. Friendly team and easy to work with.”
