Respray Your uPVC Instead of Replacing It
Yes, the uPVC windows, doors, conservatory frames, fascias and soffits on a Yarm 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, 56 miles (about 1 hour 14 minutes by road) from Yarm. Of the 8,860 properties around Yarm centre, 60% 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 Yarm were built, and what that means for the frames
Around Yarm centre, the Valuation Office Agency counts 8,860 properties: 7% built before 1919, 3% between the wars, 30% from 1945 to 1972, 44% from 1973 to 1999 and 16% since 2000. The standout figure is the 44% (about 3,900 properties) built from 1973 to 1999, well above the 19% average. uPVC became the normal window for new houses during the 1980s and 1990s, so many of those 3,900 homes still have their first frames. For those 3,900 properties, the frames are now roughly 25 to 50 years old, the age when white uPVC chalks, yellows or greys in the sun while the windows themselves still work. The 30% built from 1945 to 1972 is also above the 26% average: about 2,660 post-war homes, most of them now on their second set of windows.
In total 60% of properties here, about 5,290, were built from 1973 onwards when uPVC was the usual window, well above the 36% average for the towns we cover, while 10% predate 1939. Many of those 5,290 homes have frames that have only ever been white, and a respray changes that for far less than replacement windows.
Types of home in Yarm, and a worked price
Of the 8,362 households counted around Yarm centre in the 2021 Census, 49% live in detached houses, 32% in semi-detached, 11% in terraced houses and 8% in flats. The largest group is detached houses, about 4,060 households or 49% (average 20%), and at our published rates a detached house with ten windows and two doors would come to roughly £1,200 to £2,200 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 81% of households, about 6,740 (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 6,740 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 7,670 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
78% of households own their home, about 6,560, above the 63% average, and only 15% 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 Yarm
On the 60% of properties here built since 1973 (about 5,290), 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 Yarm.

uPVC Spray Painting in Yarm: Questions
How much does uPVC spray painting cost in Yarm?
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 Yarm is a detached house (about 4,060 of 8,362 households), and a detached house with ten windows and two doors works out at roughly £1,200 to £2,200 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 Yarm?
Most jobs take 1 to 2 days on site and a whole-house package 2 to 3 days, in dry weather; at 56 miles (about 1 hour 14 minutes by road) from our workshop, Yarm jobs are planned as one continuous block with the dates confirmed in writing.
Can faded or yellowed uPVC in Yarm 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 3,900 Yarm properties built from 1973 to 1999 (44%); 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 Yarm from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Yarm is about 56 miles by road, roughly 1 hour 14 minutes away, to the north. 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 Yarm?
Usually not for an ordinary house, but listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas can need consent from Stockton-on-Tees Borough 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.
