Spray Granite Basics
Spray granite is a stone-effect coating that we spray over the bathroom walls, vanity tops, bath panels and kitchen worktops you already have in Leeds, finished with a clear topcoat that is water-resistant for normal kitchen and bathroom use: most jobs take one day plus 24 hours to cure, the price is a fixed quote after a free survey, and the coating carries a 5-year written guarantee.
Across the Leeds City Council area, 25.0% of homes are terraced and 22.0% are flats, so many jobs will be compact, such as one worktop run, one bathroom wall or one bath panel, and the free survey tells you exactly what is involved.

Surfaces We Spray
The coating bonds to most solid, rigid surfaces once they are cleaned, keyed and repaired, including laminate, tiles, MDF, chipboard, concrete and plaster, but not flexible surfaces or chipboard swollen by water unless it is repaired first, as our main spray granite page explains; cabinet doors are a separate job, covered by our kitchen respraying service in Leeds.
- Bathroom walls, vanity tops and rigid bath panels
- Kitchen worktops, upstands and breakfast bars
- Splashbacks, tiled or laminate
- Utility room worktops
- Fireplace surrounds and furniture tops
About 70,850 of the 372,890 properties here were built between 1919 and 1939, and in homes of that age the kitchen and bathroom have usually been refitted, so we check how the current tiles and worktops were fixed.

When the homes were built
What the Housing Mix Means
Set against the average for the towns we cover, these are the figures that matter most for a spray granite job.
About 52,930 of the 341,466 households across the Leeds City Council area live in detached houses, 5.0 points below average, so fewer homes here have a utility room or second bathroom alongside the kitchen, and most jobs are likely to be a single room.
Most of the flats here, about 59,760 households, are purpose-built, where we check stairs, any lift and parking, and whether the lease needs the freeholder or managing agent to agree to alterations.
Around 194,640 households here own their home, 5.8 points below average, so a larger share of the people booking work here will be landlords, and where a tenant lives in the home they need to agree a date for the visit.
What Building Age Tells Us
The Valuation Office Agency counts 372,890 properties here, and the largest group, about 107,020, was built between 1945 and 1972, and homes of that period are often on their second or third kitchen and tiled bathroom, where firmly fixed ceramic tiles make a good base. About 64,880 were built before 1919, 3.8 points below average, so soft or hollow lime plaster behind tiled walls is less likely to be an issue than in older towns. Roughly 60,780 were built between 1973 and 1999, 3.1 points below average, so fewer kitchens here will still have the post-formed laminate worktops fitted in that period.
Compared With Nearby Towns
Morley, 4 miles away, has a higher share of properties built between 1973 and 1999, the era of post-formed laminate worktops, at 26.5%. Gildersome, 4 miles away, has a lower share of flats, where access and lease consent come into the planning, at 6.2%. Pudsey, 5 miles away, has a higher share of terraced houses, with their shorter worktop runs, at 33.6%.

Spray Granite in Leeds: Questions
How much does spray granite cost in Leeds?
Every spray granite job is priced on a fixed written quote after a free survey, because the cost depends on the length of worktop, any upstands, splashback or breakfast bar, and how much repair the surface needs first, and it avoids the templating, fitting and making good that come with new stone worktops.
Can spray granite go over tiled bathroom walls?
Yes, if the tiles are firmly fixed: they are cleaned, degreased and repaired, the stone effect is built up in layers over tiles and grout lines, and a clear topcoat makes it water-resistant for normal bathroom use, though the silicone around the bath and basin must be kept sound because water getting in behind the coating is not covered by the guarantee. In Leeds, 47.7% of properties were built between 1919 and 1972, and bathrooms in houses of that age have usually been retiled at least once, so we check how the current tiles were fixed.
How long does spray granite take, and what is the guarantee?
Most jobs are completed in one day with 24 hours to cure, and the coating carries our 5-year written guarantee against peeling, flaking and adhesion failure caused by our workmanship (not impact, scratches, heat or water damage); it lasts best cleaned with a damp cloth and mild washing-up liquid, never bleach or scouring pads, with a board for chopping and a trivet for hot pans.
Can you spray granite over an old laminate worktop in Leeds?
Yes, if it is sound: laminate takes the coating well once it is cleaned and keyed, but chipboard that has swollen around the sink or at the joints has to be repaired first, and we check for this at the survey.
Can I put hot pans on spray granite?
Use a trivet or pan stand: the sealed topcoat copes with everyday kitchen use, but a pan taken straight off the hob can damage it over time, as it would most laminate or coated worktops, and heat damage is not covered by the guarantee.
Where is ColourHaus based in Leeds?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH, just north of the city centre. We visit you at home for the free consultation and confirm dates in your fixed-price quote before you commit.
What kind of homes do you work on in Leeds?
All kinds. Across the Leeds City Council area, the most common home is a semi-detached house (38% of households, Census 2021), and 29% of properties were built between 1945 and 1972 (VOA, 2025); a spray granite finish works in any of them, and what changes is access, room size and the materials we find.
