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 Swillington, 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 Swillington centre, 81.5% of homes are detached or semi-detached, so a job is more likely to take in a utility room or en-suite alongside the kitchen, and the free survey is where we measure every surface you want priced.

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 Swillington.
- Kitchen worktops, upstands and breakfast bars
- Utility room worktops
- Splashbacks, tiled or laminate
- Bathroom walls, vanity tops and rigid bath panels
- Fireplace surrounds and furniture tops
About 560 of the 3,210 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 160 of the 3,017 households around Swillington centre live in flats, 9.6 points below average, so most jobs here are in houses, where getting equipment in and out is usually simpler.
Around 240 households here rent privately, 11.2 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 3,210 properties the Valuation Office Agency counts here, about 150 were built before 1919, 16.5 points below average, so soft or hollow lime plaster behind tiled walls is less likely to be an issue than in older towns. Roughly 410 were built between 1973 and 1999, 6.6 points below average, so fewer kitchens here will still have the post-formed laminate worktops fitted in that period.
Compared With Nearby Towns
Kippax, 2 miles away, has a higher share of properties built between 1973 and 1999, the era of post-formed laminate worktops, at 31.2%.

Allerton Bywater, 3 miles away, has a higher share of terraced houses, with their shorter worktop runs, at 38.7%.

Spray Granite in Swillington: Questions
How much does spray granite cost in Swillington?
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 Swillington, 67.6% 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 over old ceramic tiles in Swillington?
Usually, yes: 50.2% of properties in Swillington were built between 1945 and 1972, and bathrooms of that age often have ceramic tiles that are still firmly fixed, which make a good base once cleaned, degreased and keyed; cracked or hollow tiles are fixed first.
Is spray granite a long-term finish for Swillington homeowners?
It is designed for long-term use, and 73.0% of households in Swillington 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 Swillington from ColourHaus?
Our workshop is at Unit 9 Taverners Walk, Sheepscar, Leeds LS7 1AH. Swillington is about 8 miles by road, roughly 16 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 Swillington?
All kinds. Around Swillington centre, the most common home is a semi-detached house (57% of households, Census 2021), and 50% 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.
