Painting UPVC windows... insanity?

[CharlieH89]

Im on a different forum and one of the posters on there said he had his bay and 6 windows resprayed a few months ago for £800

The house I pictured had the four bay windows done, four small side lights and one rear bathroom window done.

£1200 labour and materials.

They worked of ladders as I only had the back scaffolded, arrived about 10am, were off site by about 2:30pm.

That included re-doing any silicone that needed replacing and cleaning.

These are the products that my decorator used
They look great 2 years later.

That's useful - I think getting the right primer will be really important.

That's not bad, I think I'd need about the same (only doing the front at this point) and at circa £1200, the alternative route of replacing all the windows themselves would likely be many time that.
