Microcement bathrooms

Microcement Bathrooms — Seamless Walls, Floors & Showers

A microcement bathroom is a wet room without the grid of grout lines. We tank the shower zone, apply a mesh-reinforced microcement build across floor, walls and up into the shower, and seal it into a continuous waterproof surface.

How we install it

  1. 1
    Tanking first

    Shower floor, walls to 1800 mm and around any bath edge are tanked with a flexible cementitious membrane. This is the waterproofing — the microcement finishes it, it isn't the waterproofing itself.

  2. 2
    Mesh-reinforced base coat

    A base coat is skimmed with a glass-fibre mesh embedded into it. This is what stops hairline cracking as the substrate moves seasonally.

  3. 3
    Colour coats

    Two fine-trowel colour coats give the finished tone and hand-trowelled variation. Colour is mixed to sample; darker tones are stunning but show every trowel move — we mock up before committing.

  4. 4
    Seal to R10+

    Two coats of 2K PU sealer. Shower floors get an R11 aggregate broadcast between coats.

Common pitfalls we prevent

Missing the tanking step — the microcement then has to work as waterproofing, which no manufacturer warrants
Dark colours over big open walls — show trowel marks; mitigated with sample panels and colour choice
Shower floors sealed matt without an aggregate broadcast — slippery when soapy; solved by broadcasting to R11

Frequently asked

Is microcement genuinely waterproof for a shower?+

The system is, when installed correctly. The tanking membrane behind is the waterproofing layer; the microcement + PU sealer above is a continuous, water-tolerant finish. Both are required.

Can microcement go over existing tiles?+

Yes — as long as the tiles are sound, we lightly abrade, prime and skim over them. It's often the fastest way to modernise a bathroom without ripping out.

How do you clean a microcement bathroom?+

pH-neutral cleaner and a soft cloth. No harsh limescale removers on the sealed surface — they attack the PU. A soft towel-dry after showers keeps it perfect.
