UPVC Painting Services in Sunderland
Windows and Door Frames
Window frames are the most visible part of any UPVC colour change. A whole-property respray of all window frames unifies the exterior and defines the new colour scheme. White casement windows from the 1990s sprayed to anthracite grey, slate, or black look like newly fitted coloured frames.
We clean every frame thoroughly, abrade lightly for adhesion, apply specialist UPVC primer, and follow with two coats of spray-applied finish. All glazing is carefully masked throughout. For individual window frame repaints rather than a whole-property respray, see our window frame painting service.
Fascias, Soffits, and Guttering
Fascia boards, soffit boards, and guttering are often the worst-affected by yellowing and algae staining. They run the full roofline, making them highly visible from the street.
We include fascias, soffits, and guttering in the same spray session as the windows where possible, masking sections as we work around the property. Matching the roofline trim to the window frames completes the colour scheme properly.
Front Doors and Porches
UPVC front doors and door frames are sprayed as part of a whole-property colour change. Where the porch or canopy surrounds are also UPVC, we include these in the project.
The front door is the focal point of the frontage. Spraying it the same colour as the window frames gives a consistent, cohesive result. Alternatively, the door can be a contrasting accent colour. We advise on combinations at the quotation stage.
Conservatories
Conservatory frameworks are usually UPVC and present exactly the same colour-change opportunity as window frames and fascias. A white UPVC conservatory installed in the 1990s or 2000s can be sprayed anthracite grey, black, or any RAL colour to match the rest of the property.
Foxglove Decor includes conservatory framework painting in a full-property UPVC quote. The masking work on a conservatory is more involved than on window frames — large glass panels require careful protection throughout. See our dedicated conservatory painting page for more detail.
Why Spray Application Matters for UPVC
Factory-Quality Finish
Brush application on UPVC leaves visible marks. The smooth surface of a UPVC profile shows every brush stroke — there is no texture to hide imperfections.
Spray application delivers a factory-quality finish. The paint goes on in a fine, controlled mist and builds up in thin, even coats. Foxglove Decor uses spray equipment specifically for UPVC work — the same result is not achievable by brush.
Colour Options and the Process
Any RAL colour is available. The most popular choices in Sunderland currently are anthracite grey (RAL 7016), black (RAL 9005), and slate grey. We can colour-match an existing shade if you want to coordinate with the garage door or another element already in place.
The spray process on a three-bedroom semi typically takes two days. Day one covers preparation, priming, and the first finish coat. Day two applies the second coat after the first has fully cured.

How UPVC Painting Works
1. Property Survey
We assess all UPVC elements: frame count, door count, fascia runs, and conservatory if applicable. We confirm what will be included and provide a fixed quote.
2. Cleaning and Preparation
All surfaces thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, mould, and oxidation. Any cracked or split sections assessed — we advise honestly on whether a section should be replaced before painting.
3. Masking
All glazing, brickwork, and surrounding surfaces masked. This is the most time-intensive part and is what separates a professional result from a DIY attempt.
4. Priming
Specialist UPVC adhesion primer applied to all surfaces. This is the critical step that ensures the finish coat bonds correctly.
5. Spray Application
Two coats of finish sprayed. Each coat allowed to cure before the next is applied.
6. De-masking and Inspection
Masking removed carefully, all surfaces inspected. Touch-ups completed before we leave.
UPVC Painting Costs in Sunderland
UPVC painting costs depend on the number of elements quoted, the depth of colour change, and whether a conservatory is added. Prices below are estimates only — call 0191 743 6008 for a precise quote.
Example Quotes
All windows and doors on a 3-bed semi in Pennywell or Hylton Castle typically costs £600–£1,100. A full property UPVC respray covering windows, doors, fascias, and soffits runs £900–£2,000. A conservatory framework only costs £350–£750. Individual window resprays booked standalone are from £80–£150 per window.
UPVC Painting vs Replacement
UPVC replacement for a three-bedroom house — all windows, front and back doors — typically costs £6,000–£15,000. A full UPVC respray of the same property costs £900–£2,000.
Where the frames are structurally sound, painting is the logical choice. No blown seals, no warped profiles, no broken mechanisms. We are honest at the survey stage: if a frame needs replacing rather than painting, we say so.
Combining With Masonry Work
Many clients combine a full UPVC colour change with a render or masonry repaint in the same visit. See our exterior painting service for full exterior scope — UPVC painting, masonry, render, and garage door all handled together.
