Microcement floors and walls, laid seamless by hand

Microcement is a thin cement based coating, trowelled over floors, walls and worktops to give a seamless surface with no grout lines and no joints. We supply it, along with lime built equivalents that give the same seamless look.

Microcement, installed by our own team

This is the one we would ask you to leave to us. A seamless floor is unforgiving: there is no grout line to hide a join, no board edge to stop at, and the whole room has to be laid wet in one go. Walls are kinder than floors, and a confident decorator can learn beton stucco on a board. For a bathroom or a floor, call 07592 929191.

The Material

What microcement
actually is

Microcement is cement, fine aggregate, polymer and pigment, mixed to a paste and trowelled in thin layers over a primed and reinforced base.

Because it is applied rather than laid, it has no joints: a floor runs into a skirting, up a wall and around a shower tray as one surface. It is sealed on top, and the sealer is what makes it waterproof and washable, not the cement itself. That is the point worth understanding. A microcement surface is only as good as its primer, its mesh and its sealer, and a failure is almost always in one of those three rather than the material in the middle.

Microcement · 01

The lime based alternatives

Alongside microcement we supply lime based finishes that do the same two jobs. Beton stucco is our concrete look wall finish: flat, grey, mineral, trowelled in thin coats and sealed, and it reads on a wall the way people want microcement to read. Pastellone is the seamless one for floors and walls, a lime and marble finish in the Venetian tradition that predates cement by centuries and still goes down joint free. For a wet room, tadelakt is the older answer, and it has its own page.

Microcement · 02

Floors, bathrooms and worktops

The reason people want it is the absence of joints. A bathroom floor that turns up the wall and into the shower with no grout is easier to clean and reads much calmer than tile. An open plan ground floor without thresholds between kitchen, hall and living room looks larger than it is. Worktops and stair treads are the same argument. All of that is real, and it is why we lay seamless finishes all the time. Just be clear that you are buying a surface that depends on what is underneath it: a floor that moves, a screed that is still wet, or a tile that is drummy will telegraph through.

Microcement · 03

The substrate does the work

Preparation is most of this job. Tiles need to be sound, degreased and keyed, or taken up. Timber floors need to be stiffened and boarded, because a springy floor will crack a rigid surface however good the material is. Screed needs to be dry all the way through, not dry on top. Movement joints in the structure have to be carried through the finish rather than covered over, and corners, junctions and anywhere two materials meet get reinforced. Then the primer goes down, and the primer has to match what it is gripping. Get all of that right and the finish itself is the straightforward part.

Microcement · 04

Colour, texture and the sealer

Seamless finishes are not flat colour. Trowelled by hand in thin passes, they carry a cloudy movement that is the whole reason to choose them over vinyl or resin; if you want dead uniform grey, buy a sheet product. We tint to your colour, and greys, greiges, warm stones and off blacks are what most people land on. The sealer or wax then sets the sheen, matt, satin or gloss, and it also sets how the surface behaves. A matt finish looks best and shows water marks more readily on a floor. We will talk you through that choice rather than default to one.

Microcement · 05

Cement or lime, and why it matters

A cement based microcement is rigid and sealed with a plastic film. It is hard wearing while the film is intact, and when the film wears or scratches the surface underneath is exposed and the repair is a visible patch. A lime based finish behaves differently: it is a little softer, it is mineral all the way through, and it can be reworked and re waxed in place rather than being cut out. It also stays breathable, which matters on a solid or old wall where trapping moisture behind a sealed film causes trouble. Neither is universally better. We pick by the building, not by the fashion.

Where It Is The Wrong Answer

Where microcement is the wrong answer

Do not lay a seamless finish over a floor that still moves. Springy joists, loose tiles, a green screed or a structural crack will all come through, and no material bridges them. Avoid it on a wall you are about to hang heavy fixings into, and avoid it as a cheap alternative to tiling. The preparation is where the money goes, and skipping it is how these floors fail.

Seamless work is decided at the substrate, so the useful next step is a conversation about your floor rather than a colour chart. Send a photo or call 07592 929191, and order a sample board to see the surface dry.

Your questions, answered honestly

Usually yes, and that is half its appeal. The tiles have to be firmly stuck, degreased and keyed, and any drummy ones lifted and made good first. Grout lines are filled and the surface reinforced before the finish goes on, otherwise they shadow through later. If the tiles are loose or the floor moves, take them up instead.
The sealer is what makes it waterproof, not the coating. In a shower that means the tanking behind it still has to be done properly, exactly as it would under tile. A seamless surface with no grout is much easier to keep clean, but it is not a substitute for waterproofing the structure. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling.
It cracks when what is underneath it moves. On a rigid, dry, properly primed base with joints carried through, it stays sound. On a springy timber floor, a green screed or over a structural crack that has been covered rather than dealt with, it will follow. That is why we spend longer on the preparation than on the finish.
Yes, and we also sell the lime based equivalents. Pastellone gives you a seamless floor, beton stucco gives you the concrete look on walls, and tadelakt is the traditional answer for a wet room. All are tinted to your colour and shipped tracked across the UK.

Questions & Answers

More questions, answered

What is microcement made of?
Microcement is cement, fine aggregate, polymer and pigment, mixed to a paste and trowelled in thin layers over a primed and reinforced base. Because it is applied rather than laid, it has no joints. Read our guide to what microcement is for more.
Can microcement be used on floors?
Yes, microcement can run across a floor, into a skirting and up a wall as one surface. The floor must be rigid, dry and properly prepared, because anything that moves will crack it. See our guide to microcement floors or microcement installation.
Can I have a microcement shower?
Yes, a seamless finish can run around a shower tray, bench or niche with no grout lines. The wall behind must still be tanked properly, exactly as under tile, and the sealer is part of the system. Our microcement bathroom guide explains what to ask for.
Can microcement be used on kitchen worktops?
Yes, microcement can be used on worktops, with a sealer that takes daily wiping. The sealer sets how the surface behaves, so the choice matters. Read our guide to microcement worktops and kitchens.
Can microcement be used on walls?
Yes, and walls are kinder than floors. A microcement wall runs without grout lines or board edges. Above floor level you can also choose the concrete look of beton stucco, a lime built finish. See microcement walls for more.
Can microcement go on stairs?
Yes, stair treads and landings suit a seamless finish, with the same rules as any floor. The stair must be rigid, with no springy boards, and the edges are reinforced where two surfaces meet. Ask us about your stairs through our contact page.
Does microcement need sealing?
Yes, microcement is sealed on top, and the sealer is what makes it water resistant and washable, not the cement itself. A matt sealer looks best, but it shows water marks more readily on a floor. We talk you through the choice of sheen. Our shop stocks sealer.
Is microcement cheaper than tiling?
Not necessarily, so do not treat it as a cheap alternative to tiling. The preparation is where the money goes, and skipping it is how seamless floors fail. Our guide to microcement costs explains what the price depends on.
Can microcement go over a timber floor?
Only if the timber floor is stiffened and boarded first. A springy floor will crack a rigid surface however good the material is. The same applies to loose tiles and a green screed. We survey the floor before we quote.
How do you clean microcement?
Keep it simple. Once sealed, microcement is washable, and a seamless surface with no grout is much easier to keep clean than tile. Avoid anything abrasive that could scratch the sealer film. When the film wears or scratches, the surface beneath is exposed and the repair shows.
Is tadelakt or microcement better for a wet room?
Tadelakt is the older, traditional answer for a wet room, a lime finish that is burnished and soaped. Microcement gives a modern seamless look and relies on its sealer. Both need a properly tanked wall. See tadelakt against microcement and tadelakt.
What are the lime based alternatives to microcement?
We supply Pastellone for seamless floors and walls and beton stucco for a concrete look on walls. Both are lime based, so they are softer, can be reworked and re waxed in place, and stay breathable. See our guide to Venetian plaster against microcement.
Who installs microcement near me?
Our own applicators install microcement across the UK, travelling from our base in Birmingham. Check every area we cover, then send photos and your postcode through our contact page. See microcement installation for how a job runs.
Can I apply microcement myself?
A confident decorator can learn on a wall, but we would ask you to leave floors and bathrooms to us. A seamless floor is unforgiving, with no grout line to hide a join, and the whole room is laid wet in one go. Ask us through our contact page.
Can microcement be repaired?
Yes, but a repair on a sealed microcement surface is usually a visible patch, because the film has to be rebuilt. A lime built finish can often be reworked and re waxed in place instead. See our guide to microcement problems.
What colours does microcement come in?
Microcement is tinted in our 48 house colours. It is not a flat colour, because thin hand trowelled passes give a cloudy movement. Most people land on greys, greiges, warm stones and off blacks. Browse our colours and see microcement colours.
