What it is

A new surface, not a new room.

Microcement is a thin cement and polymer coating, usually 2 to 3 mm thick, applied by hand. It gives one seamless, modern surface across floors, walls, showers and benchtops.

It can often go straight over sound existing tiles, so there is less demolition, less mess and a faster job. We lay Rasofix base coats over reinforcing mesh, then the fine finish coats. Sealed properly, it suits showers and wet areas. Showers get a compliant waterproof membrane under the system.

      Grind, patch, prime and mask. Most of a great finish is preparation nobody sees.

    FAQ

    Microcement, asked.

    How much does microcement cost?

    Price depends on area, surface condition, whether we go over tiles or remove them, and the colour and texture. We give a free, fixed quote after a site inspection.

    Can it go over my existing tiles?

    Often, yes, when the tiles are sound and well bonded. We check them first. Showers get a compliant waterproof membrane under the system.

    How long does microcement last?

    With good sealing and normal care it lasts many years. Busy floors may need a fresh sealer coat every few years.

    How do I clean it?

    Use a soft mop or cloth with a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid bleach, strong acids and scouring pads.

    How long does the job take?

    Most bathrooms take 4 to 6 days, including drying time between coats. We confirm the timeline in your quote.
