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 Steeton, 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 Steeton centre, 35.7% of homes are terraced and 7.7% 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 Steeton.
- 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 460 of the 2,310 properties here were built between 1973 and 1999, when laminate worktops were standard, and sound laminate is one of the best bases for the coating.

Type of home
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.
Around 90 households here rent from a council or housing association, 13.1 points below average, so fewer homes here need a council or housing association to give permission before the work.
What Building Age Tells Us
The Valuation Office Agency counts 2,310 properties here, and the largest group, about 600, was built before 1919, and houses that old have solid walls and lime plaster that can be soft or hollow, so plaster is tested and repaired before any wall is sprayed; period fireplace surrounds also suit a stone finish. About 180 were built between 1919 and 1939, 8.7 points below average, so fewer homes here carry several generations of refits layered over the original walls. Roughly 470 were built between 1945 and 1972, 5.7 points below average, so fewer bathrooms here are the older ceramic-tiled rooms typical of that era.

Spray Granite in Steeton: Questions
How much does spray granite cost in Steeton?
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 Steeton, 45.4% of properties were built from 1973 onwards, and in newer bathrooms tiles are often fixed to plasterboard, so we check the board behind is dry and firm.
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.
Is spray granite worth it in a newer home in Steeton?
Often, yes: 25.5% of properties in Steeton have been built since 2000, and in newer homes the worktops and tiles are usually sound but not to the owner's taste, so with little repair needed, most of the day goes on the finish itself.
Is spray granite a long-term finish for Steeton homeowners?
It is designed for long-term use, and 79.6% of households in Steeton 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 Steeton from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Steeton is about 23 miles by road, roughly 45 minutes away, to the west. We confirm visit dates and anything distance-related in your fixed-price quote before you commit.

All kinds. Around Steeton centre, the most common home is a semi-detached house (36% of households, Census 2021), and 26% 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.
