Spray Granite Basics
Spray granite is a stone-effect coating that we spray over the kitchen worktops, splashbacks, bathroom walls and bath panels you already have in Mexborough, 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.
Around Mexborough centre, semi-detached houses are the largest group of homes at 41.3%, so the kitchen worktop and the family bathroom are the most likely starting points, and the free survey is where we check each surface and show you samples.

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 Mexborough.
- Kitchen worktops, upstands and breakfast bars
- Splashbacks, tiled or laminate
- Bathroom walls, vanity tops and rigid bath panels
- Utility room worktops
- Fireplace surrounds and furniture tops
About 1,860 of the 12,220 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.

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 1,100 of the 11,299 households around Mexborough centre live in flats, 5.3 points below average, so most jobs here are in houses, where getting equipment in and out is usually simpler.
Most of the flats here, about 840 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 6,460 households here own their home, 5.6 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 12,220 properties here, and the largest group, about 3,270, 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 1,910 were built between 1973 and 1999, 3.8 points below average, so fewer kitchens here will still have the post-formed laminate worktops fitted in that period.
Compared With Nearby Towns
Swinton, 1 mile away, has a lower share of properties built before 1919, where plaster checks matter most, at 8.8%.

Spray Granite in Mexborough: Questions
How much does spray granite cost in Mexborough?
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 Mexborough, 42.0% 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.
Does spray granite suit a small terraced kitchen in Mexborough?
Yes: 30.9% of homes in Mexborough are terraced, and a short galley or L-shaped worktop run is a quick, contained job; the main thing we check is that the worktop near the sink has not swollen.
Can council or housing association tenants in Mexborough have spray granite?
Only with written permission: 23.5% of households in Mexborough rent from a council or housing association, against 17.2% on average, and social landlords normally require written consent before a tenant alters a kitchen or bathroom, so ask your landlord first.
How far is Mexborough from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Mexborough is about 34 miles by road, roughly 46 minutes away, to the south-east. We confirm visit dates and anything distance-related in your fixed-price quote before you commit.
What kind of homes do you work on in Mexborough?
All kinds. Around Mexborough centre, the most common home is a semi-detached house (41% of households, Census 2021), and 27% 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.
