UPVC windows and doors are an appealing and attractive addition to any modern building. Gleaming white UPVC enhances a property's appearance, providing a smart, crisp aspect that adds kerb appeal and boosts the building's value.
The trouble is that UPVC starts to degrade over time. It becomes grimy and the surface appears pitted and unsightly.
When this happens, you have three choices; ignore it and hope for the best, replace your UPVC windows and doors, or contact Mister SprayIT UPVC window painters to have your windows and doors sprayed.
Of the three choices listed above, the third is the most attractive by far.
Why is this? Let's examine the facts:
UPVC windows and doors are designed to last at least 10 years. Good quality products installed by professionals could last longer, somewhere between 20 or 30 years, but much depends on local pollution levels, weather, and how often the frames are cleaned and maintained.
Eventually, they will succumb to the elements. No matter how hard you scrub, they'll never look as pristine as they did originally. And if you leave them, they're not going to magically get better. Once the surface is compromised, it's likely that the plastic will become brittle and may be damaged by frost. It will also be more vulnerable to damage through impact.
You could choose to have your windows replaced. But that means enduring the inconvenience of building work with several days of noise, disruption and mess. It also means that your bank account will take a hammering: the average cost of replacement is between £500 and £3,200 per window.
You can transform your property and avoid all the hassle and expense of replacement by booking Mister SprayIT to spray your existing UPVC windows.
It's fast, efficient, and cost-effective and it provides a perfect finish each time.
Not only does it look fantastic, but it also prolongs the life of your existing UPVC windows, doors and any other UPVC fittings by at least a decade! The specialist UPVC paint forms a protective barrier against the elements and harmful UV rays, meaning that your UPVC door and window frames will look amazing and continue to perform perfectly for another ten years or so.
While it's perfectly possible to use a traditional paintbrush to coat UPVC, spray painting offers a superior finish that's perfectly even right across the surface. It's currently the most popular method of renovating properties because of the many benefits that it offers.
Mister SprayIT uses high-quality paints and professional standard equipment to ensure the best results with each project.
UPVC window spray painting is also a much quicker process, meaning that our dedicated team can complete the work much sooner, so there's minimal disruption to your daily routine.
But by far the most attractive feature of UPVC spray painting is that it saves you money!
We've seen above that replacements will set you back at least £500 for each window. UPVC spraying will average around £150 per window*, potentially saving you between 25 and 75% on the cost of new windows.

One thing is clear: Spray painting UPVC windows is a seriously attractive proposition, purely for economic reasons!
Sunlight is the main cause of premature ageing and discolouration in UPVC. Ultraviolet light attacks the surface, causing it to look grainy and pitted. Algae, bacteria and dirt get into the rough surface, and this is difficult to eliminate once it takes hold.
Never be tempted to resort to applying bleach or harsh cleaners, as these will cause further damage and discolouration.
Although it's a brilliant material in terms of providing insulation and protection, it has a limited shelf life.
Work will only begin once we have established exactly what the project entails. We will discuss all the details in full when you book your spray painting session with us.
The first stage of any job is to perform a site inspection to identify the areas to be spray painted and to observe any potential hazards.
The second (and most important) stage is to prepare the area ready for spraying. Any non-UPVC fittings are covered with professional-grade masking tape and coverings. These are impermeable and will not allow the atomised paint to penetrate.
Sheets are laid on the ground and any items such as plant pots, furniture, toys or ornaments will be removed or covered to protect them from drifting spray (it's unlikely, but we allow for the eventuality as a precaution).
This is one of the more technical aspects of the job, as the paint has to be mixed to the correct specifications to achieve the colour chosen by the client. It also needs to be the right consistency before being poured into the machine.
Once everything is in order, the task of spray painting begins. Our highly-skilled team of UPVC painters make this look easy, but it takes a steady hand and expert eye to get this stage right and provide a factory finish.
The trick is to cover the area steadily and efficiently, not moving too quickly or too slowly. We will ensure that there is no overspray, saving time and reducing waste.
As a general rule, three coats are applied, allowing around thirty minutes for each one to dry. The specialist solvent-based paint bonds with the UPVC at a molecular level, sealing the surface and forming a solid, durable layer. Subsequent coats adhere to this and harden to create a protective shield that protects the UPVC from the worst effects of the weather.
And because the colours are sealed in they won't fade for a very long time.
Once the last layer of paint has dried (the paint is touch dry in 30 minutes), the masking tape and coverings are removed and any items that were removed will be returned to their original places.
No spray painting job is complete until it has been thoroughly inspected. A perfect finish is the only acceptable result, and we will check the work for any flaws or defects before leaving the site. Once the team is happy that all is well, they will sign off the job and remove all equipment and tools to leave the area safe, clean and tidy.
We are confident that you will be amazed when you see your 'new' UPVC windows!
Mister SprayIT aims to cause as little disruption as possible, so we will always work with the utmost efficiency to reduce the amount of time we spend on site.
Using their considerable skill and expertise gained over several years, our team has perfected the process of spray painting UPVC doors and windows.
This means that we can usually allow between one and two days to complete a project, depending on the size of the property and what extras are involved, such as a garage door or conservatory.
Whether you're selling up or simply want to make the neighbours green with envy, UPVC spraying is your best friend.
Painting UPVC windows and doors will transform the outside of your home instantly. This not only adds value but will also draw in prospective buyers. It gives the impression of a house that's been looked after and which doesn't need any work.
This puts you in control of price negotiations, as the buyer won't be able to use it to beat you down. Alternatively, old, faded UPVC windows will allow the buyer to factor in repair and replacement costs into their final offer.
Don't worry - you are certain to recoup the cost of painting UPVC windows in the selling price!
In theory, we can undertake a spray painting job at any time, but the reality is that the Great British weather often has other plans.
Ideally, UPVC spraying should only go ahead when the conditions are right. That is, the air temperature needs to be between 12 and 30º C. If it's lower or higher than this, the paint may not cure properly and will soon begin to flake.
Also, it's never a good idea to spray paint in heavy rain as this will compromise the finish, causing the paint to run.
Finally, strong sunlight will dry the paint too quickly, which will also result in flaking. We can allow for this to some extent by providing shade to keep the sun off the paint as it dries.
As professionals, we pride ourselves on our work and will never compromise a project by working in the wrong conditions. This would be unfair to our customers as the finished results would not be perfect.
Our UPVC window painters are happy to use their skills to cover any areas of your property that you wish to be transformed.

Imagine; you can completely transform your property and save money into the bargain. UPVC spray painting doesn't just make good sense, it would be a mistake to miss out!
Not at all! Our spray painting services include the home or commercial property - we pride ourselves on offering a professional service to all, whether for residential properties or the business owner who wants to make a statement.
Business premises provide a solid, tangible presence for any brand, and potential customers and clients use this, sometimes subconsciously, to assess a business. A jaded and run-down building projects a negative image that's likely to put people off.
Alternatively, smart, clean and bright buildings inspire confidence, promoting a sense of success, expansion and professionalism.
Mister SprayIT UPVC window spraying can transform your business premises, increasing your chances to thrive and grow.
Although we can respray them white if preferred, there are many different colours to choose from. In fact, most professional UPVC window painters recommend that you avoid white altogether.
Mister SprayIT uses specialist UPVC paint that comes in a wide range of colours, and we are happy to discuss these with you to find the perfect colour for your home or commercial property.
Dark colours are very 'in' at the moment, adding an air of sophistication and opulence. They go particularly well with red brick on new builds. Anthracite grey has also proved exceptionally popular right across the UK in the last couple of years, and that trend looks likely to continue.
Of course, you may wish to go for bolder, brighter colours to express your character and flair - the choice is yours! You can choose to blend in with the properties around you or to stand out from the crowd.
Feel free to browse our catalogue of colours on the RAL or British Standard colour charts, or chat with our team to find the perfect match for your house.
Yes, brown UPVC can be covered with other colours. While it sometimes looks better than white UPVC in the right setting, brown plastic window frames are no longer fashionable and many of them look faded.

It is a good idea to paint UPVC windows, but it must be done at the right time . You can cause them to flake or peel if you paint them too soon after they have been installed.
The paint will not lift or flake as long as it is properly cleaned and prepped before spraying. The finish will not wear.
UPVC does not accept paints or varnishes on its surface. The main problem is that the paint must be able to adhere to the surface and bind to it. A paint must not only adhere to the UPVC surface but also be able to withstand thermal expansion, as the door or window expands and contracts throughout the year.
Spray painting your UPVC windows is by far the most cost-effective, durable, and attractive method compared to painting with a brush.
