Spray Granite Worktops in Yorkshire

What is spray granite?

Spray granite is a multi-layer, stone-effect coating sprayed over your existing worktops and finished with a sealed topcoat. It gives laminate, tiled or MDF worktops the look of granite without removing them. ColourHaus applies it across Yorkshire from our base in Leeds: most worktops are done in one day and ready to use after 24 hours, every job has a fixed written quote after a free survey, and the coating carries our 5-year written guarantee.

Is spray granite worth it?

Spray granite is worth it when your worktops are sound but look dated, and you want a stone look without the cost and upheaval of new stone. At normal viewing distance it looks convincing, and the surface has a slight texture, like honed stone. It is not as hard as real granite or quartz, so it needs trivets for hot pans and chopping boards for knives. If you want a surface you never have to think about, real stone is the better buy. Our article is spray granite worth it? covers the trade-offs in more detail.

Where spray granite can be applied

• Kitchen worktops, upstands and breakfast bars
• Tiled or laminate splashbacks
• Utility room worktops
• Bathroom walls, vanity tops and bath panels
• Furniture tops and fireplace surrounds

It bonds to most solid, rigid surfaces, including laminate, tiles, MDF, chipboard, concrete and plaster. It is not suitable for flexible surfaces or for worktops where the chipboard has swollen from water damage, unless that damage is repaired first.

How spray granite is applied

1. Clean and degrease the worktops thoroughly.
2. Repair chips, cracks and lifting edges, then key the surface.
3. Mask the units, walls, sink, hob and floor.
4. Build up the stone effect in several sprayed layers.
5. Seal with a clear protective topcoat.
6. Cure for 24 hours before normal use.

How much does spray granite cost?

We price every spray granite job on a fixed written quote after a free survey. The cost depends on the length of worktop, any upstands, splashback or breakfast bar, and how much repair the surface needs first. As a comparison, new granite or quartz is templated, cut and fitted, and the old worktop has to come out, which usually means making good the walls and tiles around it as well. Our comparison of spray granite and new worktops breaks those costs down.

Colours and finishes

Finishes range from light, marble-effect whites and creams to mid-grey granites and dark, speckled blacks. Mixed flecks give the variation you would expect in real stone. We bring physical samples to the survey so you can judge them next to your units and floor, in your own light.

Care and the 5-year guarantee

Clean spray granite with a damp cloth and mild washing-up liquid. Avoid bleach, scouring pads and strong acidic cleaners, use a trivet for hot pans and a board for chopping. The 5-year written guarantee covers the coating against peeling, flaking and adhesion failure caused by our workmanship. Like any coating guarantee, it does not cover impact, heat or water damage.

Spray granite with a kitchen respray

Worktops are often done alongside the units. Our whole-room kitchen makeover combines spray granite worktops with resprayed units, tiles and handles on one quote. If only the doors and frames need a new colour, see kitchen respraying.
