Spray Granite vs Epoxy Worktops
Two ways to resurface a worktop, and what separates them.
Spray granite is applied in thin layers with a spray gun and sealed, giving an even speckled stone look in 1 to 2 days for around €500 to €900. Epoxy is poured and spread by hand, giving a thicker, glassier, marbled finish that takes longer to cure and is harder to keep even on long runs. For most Irish kitchens the sprayed finish is the more predictable of the two.
How each one is applied
A sprayed finish goes on in controlled coats with a gun, so the coverage is even across the whole run and the thickness is consistent at the edges and around cut outs.
Epoxy is poured and worked by hand. It can look spectacular on a small island, but on long runs it is harder to keep level, and drips at the front edge have to be managed as it cures.
- Spray granite: thin sealed coats, even speckled stone look
- Epoxy: thick poured resin, glassy marbled look
- Spray dries fast, epoxy needs a long undisturbed cure
Disruption and time
A sprayed worktop is usually a one to two day job and it is normally done in the same visit as a cabinet respray.
Epoxy needs the kitchen left alone while it cures, and any dust settling into a wet pour stays in it permanently.
Repairs and living with it
A sprayed finish can be touched up and recoated in a section. An epoxy chip usually means repouring an area and blending it, which is much harder to make invisible.
Both need trivets for hot pans and neither likes abrasive cleaners.
