By Ethan Lamptey, EAL Spray Finishes, Milton Keynes · Updated
uPVC spraying with EAL Spray Finishes starts from £50 per window, £150 per front or back door and £150 per garage door, with no VAT added. Replacing the same items typically costs £300 to £1,000 per window and £800 to £1,500 per door, so a respray usually saves most of the cost of new frames. The exact price depends on how many items you want sprayed, their size and condition, and access. A few photos on WhatsApp are enough for a free quote.

What affects the price
Two houses with the same number of windows can get different quotes. These are the things that move the price:
- How many items. The more you do in one visit, the lower the price per item, because setting up, masking and travel are shared across the job.
- Size and style. A small toilet window is quicker to mask and spray than a large bay or a run of patio doors.
- Condition. Frames that are chalky, flaking or covered in old DIY paint need extra preparation before they can be primed.
- Height and access. Upstairs windows and fascias may need a tower or scaffold. If they do, Ethan includes it in your quote.
- Distance. Small jobs are taken within about 37 miles of Milton Keynes. Further out, Ethan takes whole-house resprays and commercial work.
- Colour changes. Going from dark woodgrain to white can need an extra coat compared with white to grey.
Why one window costs more than four
A single small window costs a little more per item than a larger job. Every visit has fixed costs: driving out, unloading kit, masking the glass and seals, and cleaning down afterwards. On a one-window job all of that sits on one item. On a four-window job it's shared, which is why prices on bigger jobs sit much closer to the £50 starting price.
If you're thinking about the front door later, it's usually worth doing it at the same time as the windows. The same applies to the garage door, fascias and meter box: one visit, one set-up, one colour across the whole house.
Respray vs replace: the numbers
The main reason people spray uPVC is cost. If the frames, glass and seals are sound, you're only paying to change the colour and finish, not to rip out and refit the whole window.
| Item | Respray with EAL | Replace with new (typical UK) |
|---|---|---|
| uPVC window | From £50 | £300–£1,000 each |
| uPVC front door | From £150 | £800–£1,500 |
| Composite front door | From £180 | £1,200–£2,500 |
| Garage door | From £150 | £800–£2,500 |
For comparison, market figures for having a whole house sprayed run from about £800 to £1,500 for a terrace, £1,000 to £1,800 for a semi and £1,200 to £2,000 for a detached house. Those are typical UK market figures, not EAL quotes, but they show the scale of the saving against new windows.

What's included in a professional respray
A proper respray is mostly preparation. The spraying itself is the quick part. Every EAL respray includes:
- Cleans and degreases the frames so nothing stops the paint bonding.
- Keys (lightly abrades) the surface so the primer has something to grip.
- Masks the glass, seals, brickwork, sills and anything else that mustn't be sprayed.
- Primes, then sprays the colour in thin, even coats for a smooth, factory-style finish.
- De-masks, tidies up and talks you through looking after the finish.
Done properly, the paint has an expected lifespan of 10 to 15 years when it's maintained correctly. That's an expected life, not a guarantee. See how long sprayed uPVC lasts.
How to get an accurate quote from photos
Most quotes can be priced from photos, which saves you waiting in for a visit. Send these on WhatsApp or through the quote form:
- One wide photo of each side of the house you want sprayed.
- A close-up of a typical window frame, so the condition is clear.
- The front door and garage door, if you'd like those done too.
- The colour you're thinking of, even if you're not sure yet.
- Your postcode, so travel and access can be planned.
