- Microcement is one of the most revolutionary coating solutions to exist. If you're unfamiliar with this incredible solution, let us explain:
MicroCement is a cement-based coating that is mixed with fine aggregates, resins and pigments to provide an extremely strong and highly bonded finish. MicroCement is an anti-slip, mould resistant and fully waterproof material that produces a stylish polished concrete-type finish.
MicroCement benefits from quick-drying times unlike traditional poured floors, which allow you to move ahead with your project much quicker. It is also waterproof and heatproof making it a great option for kitchen islands and shower rooms/walk-in showers. This exceptional material can be applied to a range of strong stable surfaces from tiles, plaster, timber, concrete and more. Whether you are retrofitting a home, working on a new development or making bespoke Microcement furniture - We believe the possibilities are truly endless…
Microcement can be applied to any strong, stable surface. We have an in-house team of Engineers, steel fabricators, carpenters, plumbers and electricians. This huge range of skill sets means that we can create a huge range of products and cater for most of your design concepts!

doesn't it peal nor turn in to powder?
Can microment work over a tin flashing? I have flashing covering the top of my concrete step outside my back door.
Microcement can be applied over a multitude of surfaces, we haven't tested it on tin flashing and the importance would be whether the resin primer can create enough of a bond to stay adhered to the tin? If the bond is not created properly, you would be able to peel the layers (resin primer, fibreglass mesh, base coats, microcement coats and sealers) off in 1 piece. It is something you could try, but we would never guarantee without though testing.
I was wondering how resistant is it as countertop, where you spill coffe or wine on,washability....?
Microcement is non-porous and makes a fantastic worktop. We make and install multiple kitchen worktops and outside kitchens. Please see our blog where we perform a stain test. www.bespokecrete.com/is-microcement-expensive/
Can I apply micro cement to a sink. It’s a BLANCO silgranit sink, like a composite sink. It’s extremely stained. Will microcement withstand hot liquids.
It all depends on the Microcement that you are using as they vary enormously. Each Microcement brand will have their own recommendations on the substrate beneath that can be coated and the correct way to prep it. Our Microcement can take boiling liquids, hot pans straight from the oven etc.... We make lots of kitchen sinks, worktops, outside kitchens and bathroom sinks - that all perform and meet our high standards.
Can it be sealed with something like Semco waterproofing membrane or Laticrete Hydroban?
Thank you for your comment and looking at the spec for both Semco waterproofing membrane or Laticrete Hydroban - I wouldn’t recommend these over the top of Microcement. Microcement is a complete system build up (consisting of several layers) with each layer designed to complement the previous one. Using a different product could cause a reaction and damage the layers below.
How do you prevent it from cracking? I would imagine if you weren’t repairing a crack, it would be hard to color match.
Microcement is very dependent on the surface that it is being applied to and it has to be solid and stable. The correct prep is vital. If a crack appears, it is difficult to rectify and usually means the whole surface needs Microcementing again after the crack has been fixed.
Is microcement heavy? I want to put in on a vintage caravan camper wall and we need to be weight conscious
Thanks for your message.
Microcement can be applied to most strong, stable surfaces. To keep the weight down you could apply the Microcement over 6 mm ply and stick that directly to the wall depending on size.
The Microcement system is 2-3 mm thick so extremely light in comparison to concrete but the application would still add weight to the caravan.
For example - our Microcement (that is not available for the public to buy) A 10 kg base coat (with the mesh) will cover around 6m² and the second coat will cover around 10m².
A 6kg tub of Microcement should cover around 10m² - depending on the size of your caravan - would determine how much Microcement you use.
Hope this helps, if you have any further questions please let us know - more info can be found on our IG account instagram.com/bespokecrete/
how easy is it to clean? do you recommend it for garage flooring?
Microcement cleans really well, although we would use a different sealer for a garage floor to prevent rubber transfer.
Can it be used in showers?
Yes - we use Microcement in multiple bathrooms, wet rooms, showers etc.... creating a fully seamless finish. We can supply low-profile shower trays with all the falls and linear drains to create walk-in showers. Please visit our gallery page on the website

Where you can view - wet rooms, bathrooms, showers, outside kitchens, baths, sinks and more - all handmade and coated in our multi-layer Microcement system.
@@bespokecrete how is the cost compared to using ceramic for bathrooms
@@bemanaman-wt7jn That all depends on the cost of the ceramic? Microcement can vary depending on the installation. It is not a budget option, generally with our skilled applicators being on site for 7 days, creating a seamless, grout and silicon-free finish. There are lots of photo examples of seamless showers, wet rooms and bathrooms. www.bespokecrete.com/gallery/
Bla,Bla y Blaaaa cómo se puede hablar tanto y como se aplica 👀👀👀🙄
BespokeCrete are an elite installer that have been on lots of training courses. The purpose of this video is to explain "what the benefits of Microcement are" and that is the title. It is not to show you how to apply Microcement. If you want to learn more - maybe you could book a course and learn the correct way to apply Microcement as we undertake lots of jobs to correct poorly applied Microcement for customers.
