Whilst new-build homes have a smart finish, the uniformed window and door colours can make every house feel the same.

If you’re looking to personalise your property on a budget, then spraying your new home’s UPVC is a cost-effective way to boost its appearance.

This article will cover why UPVC spraying works well for new-build properties, when the spraying can take place, its potential impact on warranties and guarantees, and the cost comparison of spraying over replacement.

Why does UPVC spraying work well for new-build homes?

UPVC spraying on new-build properties is increasing in popularity, because it offers flexibility, cost-effectiveness and design freedom without the need of replacement.

Here’s why it works so well:

Newly fitted UPVC provides an ideal surface

The frames on new-build homes are clean, undamaged and free from old paint.

So, with simple preparation, the UPVC coating will bond well to the surface, providing a smooth, factory-grade finish that will last for years to come.

Sprayed UPVC adds variation to uniform developments

New-build homes lack variation, with standardised design plans and bulk ordering of materials, homeowners aren’t presented with many colour options or style.

The same white or anthracite frames are used on most new-build plots, lacking that personalised homely feel.

Spraying UPVC gives homeowners complete colour freedom at a low cost.

No need to replace brand new frames

Replacing brand new windows and doors on new-build properties feels like a waste.

Spraying uses the existing frames, which are already in perfect condition, making it a practical and economical upgrade.

This method avoids waste and retains the original installation integrity.

The finish that supports long-term use

The long lifespan of sprayed UPVC suits the long-term nature of new-build properties.

With an average durability of ten or more years, the UPVC will continue to modernise properties long after the buyer moves on.

When can UPVC be sprayed on a new-build property?

It’s important to time the spraying of your UPVC correctly to guarantee the best finish.

You can spray the UPVC as soon as:

• The builder has completed handover
• Frames are clean, dry and free from silicone residue
• Any snagging issues to do with windows and doors have been resolved, so nothing needs to be reworked once the coating is applied.

Does spraying UPVC impact warranties and guarantees on new-builds?

Spraying may affect some cosmetic or colour-related parts of the warranty, depending on the developer, manufacturer and warranty provider.

Spraying does not alter the structure of the frames, so performance based or structural guarantees typically remain valid.

You should:

• Check warranty terms before proceeding
• Allow the snagging period to be completed
• Record any issues with frames before spraying

This ensures compliance with warranty conditions and avoids disputes later on.

Why is spraying UPVC more cost effective than replacement?

Spraying UPVC can cost up to 80% less than replacing windows and doors.

The low price reflects the minimal labour, materials and disruption required.

Key cost advantages:

• No need for new frames
• No structural work
• No skip hire or disposal costs
• Short preparation and application time
• Less labour than fitting new units

Spraying delivers a high-quality finish at a fraction of the price of replacement, which is especially useful for first time buyers or homeowners managing early-stage budgets.
