Parts of our front door panel and frame look cream rather than white - I think due to age. It would be quite expensive to replace the whole lot. I have seen that some companies manufacture a primer which allows you to paint the UPVC. Has anyone tried this?

Thanks

Why not get a bottle of UVPC restorer?

Hi Vince

we thought the various cleaners etc wouldn't have much effect on UPVC that has yellowed with age. Do you have any advice about this?

Thanks

The stuff my local window firm uses has a mild bleaching compound in it. It worked well on my UPVC window boards that had stained/faded in the sun.
