About microcement
What is microcement?
Microcement is a thin cementitious coating applied in layers over a prepared surface. It is a finish with no grout lines. We apply it to floors, walls, ceilings, wet rooms, bathrooms, kitchens and staircases, always as part of a five-step reinforced system.
Installation standard
How does the five-step reinforced system work?
The system has five steps: technical assessment, surface protection, reinforcement and structural control, controlled application and final quality inspection. Joint sealing and fibre mesh reinforcement control the movement that causes cracking in a thin coating, and each coat is assessed before the next begins.
Technical assessment
Substrate condition, moisture levels, alignment and structural stability are assessed before any work begins. The assessment sets the preparation required.
Surface protection
Surrounding areas and adjacent finishes are protected before application begins.
Reinforcement and structural control
Joint sealing and fibre mesh reinforcement are applied to the substrate to control the movement that causes cracking in a thin coating.
Controlled application
The finish is applied in layers with precision alignment and clean edge detailing. Each coat is assessed before the next begins.
Final quality inspection
The surface is sealed and inspected, including every edge and joint, before completion.
Applications
Where can microcement be installed?
We install microcement on floors, walls, ceilings, wet rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, worktops, splashbacks and staircases. The technical assessment confirms whether a surface is suitable before any work begins, and every application follows the same five-step reinforced system. The sections below cover the main applications.
- Floors. Open-plan living areas, hallways and kitchens.
- Walls and ceilings. Feature walls and full-room treatments.
- Kitchens. Worktops, splashbacks and island wraps. The guide to microcement worktops and splashbacks covers them.
- Staircases. Part of the microcement service.
Wet areas
Microcement bathrooms and wet rooms
Walk-in showers, wet rooms and bath surrounds are finished in sealed microcement. Microcement is water-resistant once sealed; waterproofing comes from the tanking membrane beneath. A bathroom installation typically takes 4-6 working days, and the dedicated page covers the build-up, the tanking membrane and the timeline in detail.
Microcement bathrooms and wet rooms in London has the full detail. Whether microcement suits a bathroom at all is answered in the microcement bathroom guide.
Floors and stairs
Microcement floors and stairs
Microcement floors run across open-plan living areas, hallways and kitchens as a finish with no grout lines. Staircases are part of the same service and follow the same system. Floors, stairs and kitchens share the same reinforced system and the same technical assessment. The flooring page covers floors in full.
Microcement staircases
Staircases are part of the microcement service and follow the same five-step system as floors.

What does a microcement installation cost?
The cost of a microcement installation depends on the area, the condition of the substrate and the finish specification. A final price follows a survey. The microcement cost guide for London sets out pricing by room in pounds sterling (GBP). This page carries no price figures, so that there is one source for them.
How long does an installation take?
A microcement installation typically takes 3-7 working days and a bathroom 4-6 working days. Larger jobs are confirmed at survey. Each coat is assessed before the next begins, so the programme is sequenced and not rushed.
Is a warranty provided?
A 2-year written warranty is provided on microcement installations. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Each installation follows the five-step reinforced system, from technical assessment to final quality inspection.
Wet areas are resealed every 2-3 years and living areas every 4-5 years.

- Reinforcement of the substrate, including joint sealing and fibre mesh
- A final inspection of the sealed surface
- A final price that follows a survey

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How long does a microcement installation take?
A microcement installation typically takes 3-7 working days and a bathroom 4-6 working days. Larger jobs are confirmed at survey.
Does microcement crack?
It can when the substrate moves and nothing controls that movement. Joint sealing and fibre mesh reinforcement are steps in the system, applied to the substrate to control the movement that causes cracking in a thin coating.
Is a warranty provided?
A 2-year written warranty is provided on microcement installations. This does not affect your statutory rights.
How do you choose a microcement installer?
Ask for a substrate assessment before work starts, reinforcement of the substrate, a final inspection of the sealed surface and a final price that follows a survey.
