Hand-trowelled microcement that runs across floors, walls, showers and stairs without a single joint. Often laid straight over your existing tiles, so you get the look of polished concrete without the dig-out.
Microcement is a thin, decorative cement coating, hand-trowelled in layers a few millimetres thick and sealed, to create one continuous surface on floors, walls and even stairs.
Because it is so thin, it can usually go over sound existing tiles, screed or plaster, which saves the mess and cost of ripping everything out. The result is a soft, mineral, matt or satin finish with gentle hand-made movement, so no two floors are quite the same.
It is the go-to finish for open-plan kitchens, wet rooms and walk-in showers, and for anyone who wants their ground floor to read as one calm, flowing space.
A seamless, hand-finished surface that makes rooms feel bigger, calmer and easier to live with.
No grout lines to clean or crack. Floors flow from room to room and up into walls and showers.
Often applied over existing tiles and screed, so there is no rip-out, skip or weeks of dust.
Sealed microcement suits walk-in showers, bathrooms and kitchens, with no tiles or silicone joints to fail.
A thin layer over heated screed lets warmth through quickly and evenly.
Tinted to suit your units, stone or paint, with a matt or satin finish.
A sweep and a mop with a pH-neutral cleaner keeps it looking right for years.

Microcement is priced per square metre, and every floor is different. These are the things that move the price, so you know what to expect before we visit.
Larger areas usually cost less per square metre, as set-up and preparation are shared across more floor.
Sound tiles or screed need less work than cracked, uneven or damp floors.
Walls, shower trays, niches and stairs take more detailed hand work than open floor.
Custom tints and specific textures are matched to sample before we start.
Occupied homes, furniture moves and tight timescales all affect the plan.

Often, yes. If the existing tiles are sound and well bonded, we fill the grout lines, prime and reinforce the surface and lay microcement over the top. Loose or hollow tiles need fixing or removing first, which we check at survey.
Once sealed with the right system, microcement is water resistant and well suited to bathrooms, wet rooms and walk-in showers. The sealer is what protects it, so it is applied with care and maintained over time.
Yes, with a suitable microcement system and the correct heating protocol. The heating is run and then switched off before application, and brought back up gradually afterwards, so the floor is not stressed.
It depends on the size of the area, the condition of the existing floor, whether walls or showers are included and the finish you choose. Send us photos on WhatsApp for an initial estimate, and we confirm a fixed written price after a free survey.
Microcement is built up in several thin coats that each need to dry, so most rooms take a few days from preparation to sealing. We confirm the timings for your project in your quote.
A quality microcement system laid on a sound, stable, properly prepared base is very resistant to cracking. Most cracks come from movement in the floor underneath, which is why we survey and prepare every floor before we start.
Sweep regularly and mop with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals. Depending on wear, the sealer can be refreshed over the years to keep it protected.
Choose microcement for a soft, matt, hand-made look that can run up walls and into showers. Choose resin for a glossy, metallic or flake finish and maximum toughness, especially in garages and commercial spaces. We bring samples of both.
