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 New Mill, 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 New Mill centre, detached houses are the largest group of homes at 36.7%, 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 New Mill.
- 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 700 of the 2,940 properties here were built between 1945 and 1972, and the tiled bathrooms typical of that age suit spray granite well once the tiles are checked.

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 140 of the 2,821 households around New Mill centre live in flats, 10.0 points below average, so most jobs here are in houses, where getting equipment in and out is usually simpler.
Around 230 households here rent from a council or housing association, 8.9 points below average, so fewer homes here need a council or housing association to give permission before the work. Another 350 or so rent privately, 6.8 points below average, so most homes here are lived in by their owners or by social tenants rather than let privately.
What Building Age Tells Us
Of the 2,940 properties the Valuation Office Agency counts here, about 310 were built between 1919 and 1939, 6.0 points below average, so fewer homes here carry several generations of refits layered over the original walls.

Spray Granite in New Mill: Questions
How much does spray granite cost in New Mill?
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 New Mill, 34.3% 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.
Will spray granite work in an older house in New Mill?
Usually, yes: 30.6% of properties in New Mill were built before 1919, and the coating needs a firm base, so soft or hollow lime plaster is repaired or lined first; if the house is listed, check whether consent is needed before changing original features.
Does spray granite suit a small terraced kitchen in New Mill?
Yes: 31.9% of homes in New Mill 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.
Is spray granite a long-term finish for New Mill homeowners?
It is designed for long-term use, and 78.8% of households in New Mill own their home, so most customers plan to live with it for years; it carries a 5-year written guarantee and lasts longer with gentle cleaning, a chopping board and a trivet.
How far is New Mill from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. New Mill is about 26 miles by road, roughly 40 minutes away, to the south-west. 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 New Mill?
All kinds. Around New Mill centre, the most common home is a detached house (37% of households, Census 2021), and 31% of properties were built before 1919 (VOA, 2025); a spray granite finish works in any of them, and what changes is access, room size and the materials we find.
