The short answer
For 2026, expect:
- Single front door: £250 to £450
- All UPVC on a 2-bed terrace: £900 to £1,200
- All UPVC on a 3-bed semi: £1,200 to £1,800
- All UPVC on a 4-bed detached: £1,800 to £2,800
- Conservatory frames added: £400 to £900 on top
- Garage door: £180 to £350
These are typical UK figures, gathered from quotes our customers have shared with us across South Wales, the Midlands, and the Home Counties. Regional variation is small, around 10 to 15%. The bigger driver is how many windows you have and whether the frames need stripping.
What the price should include
A proper respray quote covers eight things:
- On-site survey
- Industrial degreaser wash
- Sanding to key the surface
- Isopropyl alcohol wipe-down
- Full masking of glass, seals, hardware, brickwork
- Two-pack adhesion primer
- Three coats of UV-stable Kolorbond or equivalent
- Hardware refit, glass clean, walk-through sign-off
If a quote skips any of these, the price will look attractive and the finish will fail inside two years. Adhesion failure on UPVC is almost always a prep failure. The prep is 70% of the work and 50% of the cost.
What it shouldn't include
Be careful of quotes that itemise:
- Spraying the rubber gaskets: the rubber flexes, the paint cracks, the seal looks worse than before. Good applicators mask and leave them.
- Spraying conservatory panels: polycarbonate doesn't take Kolorbond. Glass shouldn't be sprayed at all.
- Day rates: a respray is a fixed-price job. Day rates favour the applicator and let scope creep.
- Deposits over 10%: there's no material to pre-buy. The cost is labour and paint. A 30% deposit is a tell.
Why prices vary
Three factors push price up or down:
- Number of frames: the dominant factor. A 4-bed with conservatory has 4x the surface area of a 2-bed terrace.
- Condition of the existing finish: chalky, oxidised, sun-bleached UPVC needs extra sanding. Allow 10 to 15%.
- Access: first-floor windows on a terrace are pole-sprayed from below. Mid-terrace with no rear access can add a day.
What a fair 2026 quote looks like
A 3-bed semi with eight windows, one front door, one back door, one garage door, and a small porch should come back at £1,400 to £1,700 with a credible applicator. Above £2,000 and you're being overcharged. Below £900 and corners are being cut. The five-year guarantee is the real signal: applicators who skip prep can't offer it.
Common questions
We get the same ten questions on every UPVC quote. The most useful is "what happens if it peels?" The answer should be "we strip it back and respray it under guarantee, at no charge." If it isn't, walk away.
