Continuous, joint-free surfaces

Microcement

Seamless floors, walls and worktops.

The material

What is microcement?

A thin, cement-based coating applied by hand. At just 2–3mm it goes directly over existing tiles, concrete, plasterboard and most stable substrates — no grout lines, no joints, no full strip-out.

Made from cement, water-based resins, mineral pigments and fine aggregates, it gives a monolithic finish that makes a space feel larger and more cohesive — in matte, satin or high gloss.

Where it works

01

Floors

Our most popular application. One continuous surface that flows between rooms — ideal for hallways, kitchens and open-plan living.

02

Bathrooms & wet rooms

Fully waterproof once sealed. No grout lines means less mould and easier cleaning.

03

Kitchen worktops

A heat-resistant, durable alternative to stone or quartz, with a handcrafted character.

04

Walls

A smooth, tactile surface with subtle variation — as a feature wall or throughout a room.

Process

How we apply it

1. Site visit

We assess the existing substrate and talk through your design and colour.

2. Prime & reinforce

The surface is primed and a fibreglass mesh laid for strength.

3. Layer by hand

Multiple coats are trowelled and sanded to build texture and tone.

4. Seal

A specialist polyurethane sealer protects against water, stains and wear. A typical room takes 4–5 days.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is microcement waterproof?

Yes. Once sealed it is highly water-resistant and suitable for bathrooms, wet rooms and kitchens.

Can it go over existing tiles?

Yes — directly over tiles, concrete, plasterboard and most existing surfaces, with no need to strip the room back.

Does microcement crack?

Applied correctly over a sound substrate with the right primer and mesh, cracking is extremely rare.

How do I maintain it?

A damp mop or cloth is all you need. Avoid abrasive cleaners, and reseal high-traffic areas every few years.

What colours and finishes are available?

A wide spectrum of colours in matte, satin or high gloss — from warm, earthy tones to cool industrial greys.
