Microcement is a thin, polymer-modified cement coating only 2–3 mm thick that bonds to virtually any substrate. Once sealed, it is fully waterproof, slip-resistant and remarkably hard-wearing — ideal for showers, kitchens, retail floors and open-plan interiors. We work with a 3-step system: substrate prep, base coats, then finishing coats and protective sealer.
microcement colours and product details
Materials can be tinted in a wide range of colours — match any RAL code on request. Each collection below highlights a different surface character.
A close-to-flat, polished finish — soft sheen, minimal movement. Ideal for contemporary bathrooms and seamless floors.
2–3 fine coats, hand-trowelled and burnished, then sealed with a matt or satin protective topcoat.
Subtle cloudy variation in tone — gentle depth without strong texture. The most popular look across feature walls.
Layered application with controlled trowel work to create gentle tonal movement.
Pronounced trowel marks and natural variation — a hand-crafted, lived-in surface character.
Heavier build, deliberate trowel patterning, finished with a hard-wearing protective sealer.
Microcement infused with mineral pearls or metallic pigments — catches light dramatically across the day.
Standard microcement build with a final pigmented finishing coat. Best on accent walls.
Microcement, sometimes written micro cement, is a polymer-modified cement coating only 2 to 3 mm thick. As microcement installers we apply it by hand over a prepared substrate in three stages: preparation, base coats, then finishing coats and a protective sealer. For homes, residential microcement covers kitchens, living spaces, stairs and bathrooms. For shops, offices and hospitality, commercial microcement gives one seamless finish across a large floor.
We install microcement on floors, in bathrooms and showers, and on kitchens, walls and worktops. For floors see microcement flooring; for wet areas see microcement bathrooms and microcement showers, where the shower zone is tanked before the microcement goes on; and for surfaces see microcement worktops.
If you are looking for microcement contractors near you, we cover Sussex, Surrey, Kent, Hampshire, Berkshire and London, with a free survey before any quote. See microcement in West Sussex, microcement in Kent and microcement in Tunbridge Wells for local detail.
Once sealed, microcement is a continuous water-tolerant surface. In showers and wet rooms a tanking membrane goes behind it, because the tanking is the waterproofing layer and the microcement is the finish.
It depends on the full specification. Microcement is labour-intensive, while tile costs depend heavily on the tile, layout and cutting. Compare complete quotes that include preparation, waterproofing, trims and installation.
Sometimes. Over sound existing tiles, microcement can avoid a strip-out, which changes the comparison. Against a basic tile job it is rarely the cheaper option, so compare like-for-like quotes for your room.
We cover Sussex, Surrey, Kent, Hampshire, Berkshire and London from our base, with a free survey before every quote.
The same six-step process applies to every project we deliver — from a single feature wall through to whole-house installations.
You fill out a short questionnaire — location, square metres, surface type, finish and timeline. We discuss the project together and prepare a tailored quote.
Once the quote is approved, we issue an invoice for a 10% deposit. This reserves the project and your slot in our schedule.
We prepare physical samples of the finish, colour and texture for you to approve. If the project is booked, samples are free of charge.
Approved samples confirmed, we issue an invoice for the materials so we can order in your specific tints, sealers and substrate components.
Our in-house team installs the finish on site — substrate prep, base coats, finishing coats and sealer. Cleanly worked, fully protected.
On completion and final walk-through, we issue the invoice for the remaining balance. You receive aftercare guidance and your workmanship guarantee.
Samples are free of charge when the project is booked.
