Can You Paint UPVC Window Frames?

Can You Paint UPVC Window Frames?

Can you paint upvc window frames

The simple and quick answer is - YES, you can paint UPVC Window Frames! But there is a special technique involved if you want them to look good!


You can buy paint from a DIY store and do this yourself, but you will need to know what you are doing. You will also need to purchase the following items to make sure that you will get a good finish:

  1. UPVC Cleaner
  2. UPVC Primer
  3. UPVC Paint
UPVC Cleaner

Before you can start to think about painting your UPVC Window Frames, you will first need to ensure they are clean, and free of any dirt. There are several UPVC Cleaners on the market today which will do the job for you, but it will always be best to go with a slightly more industrial strength cleaner, as this will give you a better result.

UPVC Primer

Unlike painting a "normal" surface, you will need to have a UPVC Primer put on to the window frame before you put on the colour of your choice. The UPVC Paint will need something to adhere to, otherwise when it rains - the paint will simply wash away.

UPVC Paint

Once you have done the cleaning of the window frame, and have put your base coat (primer) down, you will then be ready to apply the UPVC Paint. This simply goes on top of the base coat, and will adhere to the window frame.

Please note: NW Door and Window Repairs uses specialist paints that are not supplied to the general public. These are products which you will need to be in the industry to get, as the products are highly volatile to different conditions. 


It sounds simple right? But this is where a lot of people make the mistake. To get a professional look to your existing window and door frames involves a lot of work. If you are not really sure on how best to clean and prime your UPVC frames, you may end up regretting painting them in the first place.


NW Door and Window Repairs have several years of experience in UPVC Painting, and use special techniques which will leave you with a guaranteed professional look and feel to your existing window and door frames, leaving your home looking fresh and clean. And on top of that, we offer a 10 Year Warranty on all of our work, giving you peace of mind which you will not get on your own. Our website features a page about UPVC Painting, so take a quick look below to find out what we can do for you:


So although YOU can paint UPVC Window Frames yourself, it is always advisable to get an expert in. So why not call NW Window Repairs TODAY on 01582 241 529 or 0208 935 5076 for a FREE, NO OBLIGATION Quotation. Or alternatively, EMAIL US at info@nwdoorandwindowrepairs.co.uk

Spring Cleaning

Spring Clean

SPRING CLEANING

Spring cleaning is something which we always begrudgingly do each and every Spring. We tidy up the gardens to make them look fresh again. We wash the car to get rid of the Winter grime. But this year, why not go that extra bit further? 

NW Window Repairs things that Spring Cleaning isn't just about making your garden and car look fresh. We believe that your Windows and Doors can also benefit from a nice Spring clean. 

Over the Winter time, dirt can build up on your UPVC window frames and doors. If you leave this for a long time, then eventually the only way you will be able to remove this is by using a chemical cleaner - something which would always advise against. Why? Simply because unless you use the industrial strength cleaners, you will not be able to make the frames look as good as they can be. And if you DO use the industrial strength cleaner, you may end up damaging the frame itself unless you know 100% what you are doing.

As a lot of people will never really think about Spring Cleaning their window frames and doors, they end up penetrating the dirt from years of neglect. This isn't un-common, and isn't something which people will ever frown upon. But at NW Window Repairs, we can help you Spring Clean your windows and doors.

With a choice of over 200+ colours to chose from using our RAL.U colour chart, we can give your windows and doors that "Spring Clean" finish. With several years of experience, we can spray paint any material (not just UPVC), and either change the colour, or freshen up your existing colour - all without having to take your windows or doors away! Everything we do is on site.

Not sure what colour will suit you windows or doors? Then head over to our website now! With our on-line demonstration, you upload a photograph of the exterior (or interior depending on what you want sprayed), receive a password to a protected page, and go through our extensive range of colours to see first hand what your property will look like - without having to get your frames sprayed first!

There is a small fee for viewing this, but once you have booked your appointment for the works, and upon job completion, this fee is refunded in full for you.

So this year, let NW Door and Window Repairs help with your Spring Cleaning and let us freshen up, or add colour to your Windows and Doors for you!

UPVC Maintenance

UPVC Maintenance 

Make Your Home Look New Again

With Spring now right around the corner, now is the perfect time for you to think about UPVC Maintenance. Having fresh looking windows and doors help make an impact on your home, and having tired and faded window frames will really let you down.


With a UPVC Window or Door, there really isn’t much maintenance needed – if it has been looked after. However, if there is a lot of dirt and grime on the frames which has been left for a few years, UPVC Maintenance is very important.

It is easy to clean this up yourself, but you have to be very careful that you use the correct products for the job. Failure to do this may result in the silicone seals being lifted away, causing you to have to replace these at extra cost.

If you find you cannot clean your existing UPVC windows or doors, and want them looking brand new, then give NW Door and Window Repairs a call now. This is the perfect time of year to start to make your home look new after the winter season has finished. And with our on-site UPVC Painting service, we are the first company you should contact.

NW Door and Window Repairs can transform any UPVC Window or Door and make them look like new – for a fraction of the cost of replacing. We can turn your tired and existing White UPVC Frames to a brilliant white again, or even a different colour of your choice! And with our built-in photo-editing software on our website, we can even show you what your home will look like once it is completed!

With a large array of different colours to choose from our RAL.U Colour Chart, you will be spoilt for choice!

Shop Front Respray

SHOP FRONT RESPRAY


A little while ago, we had a call from one of our clients who wanted a shop front respray. The original quotation they had to refit the shop front was not budgeted for, so they contacted us at NW Door and Window Repairs. We arrived at the building, and priced up the job for them - and undercut the original quote they had been given.

As this was a commercial property which had other contractors doing their work, we arranged a suitable time and date for our work to start. We had to take in to account the footfall around the shop, and decided that the safest time would be out of our usual working hours due to Health and Safety reasons.

We liaised with our client as to the colour of the sign which was going above the shop front, and colour matched using our RAL colour chart, getting the exact shade required. This colour was also used throughout the inside of the shop, to tie the whole brand together.

We made sure everything was protected before the shop front respray commenced, and made sure all of the interior work was also protected from any over-spray.

Once the job was completed, the shop front shutters were checked, to ensure that they still operated in the correct manor, and would not damage the paintwork in any way. 

For more pictures of this commercial shop front respray, please head on over to our website, where you will find a gallery of before and after photographs of this particular job.

So if you have a shop front or a shop interior which you would like to be resprayed in a colour of your choice, or if you have a domestic property where you require your windows or doors to have a change in colour or a simple refresh, then give NW Door and Window Repairs a call.
