Most UPVC surfaces in reasonable condition can be sprayed.
Windows, doors, garage doors, conservatories, fascias, and soffits are all suitable, provided the UPVC is structurally sound.
Very old, heavily weathered or severely damaged UPVC may not be suitable for spraying, as coatings rely on a stable surface to bond properly.
When Is UPVC Not Suitable for Spraying?
UPVC spraying may not be recommended if the material is:
- Cracked, warped, chipped or structurally failing
- Extremely brittle due to age or UV damage
- Peeling, flaking or breaking down at the surface
In some cases, loose or degraded surface material can be carefully removed or prepared, improving suitability – but this depends on the overall condition.

How Do We Know If Your UPVC Can Be Sprayed?
Suitability is confirmed during a pre-spray survey, where the condition of the UPVC is assessed. This ensures:
- Proper paint adhesion
- A consistent finish
- Long-term durability
If spraying is not advisable, you’ll be told honestly and offered the most appropriate alternative.
Local Conditions Matter
Homes across Staffordshire and the West Midlands often experience prolonged exposure to rain, frost, moisture and UV light from the Sun. These factors can affect older UPVC, making professional assessment essential before spraying.
