Here's something worth knowing before you request microcement quotes.
The difference between a cheap quote and a proper one isn't always about margin.
Often it's about what's been left out.
Proper microcement installation includes:
— Full substrate assessment
— Surface preparation and repair
— Anti-crack protection where required
— Correct priming for the surface type
— Professional microcement systems specified correctly for wet areas
— Controlled multi-layer application
— Correct sealing and curing stages
— Aftercare guidance at handover
When those stages are all in place, microcement is one of the most durable, beautiful, and long-lasting seamless surfaces available for bathrooms, wet rooms, floors, kitchens, feature walls, and commercial spaces.
When they're skipped to hit a lower number — cracking, peeling, staining, and wet room failures can follow.
The cheapest quote is often missing the most expensive steps to get wrong.
We see this regularly with clients who come to us after a previous installation has failed. The remediation cost almost always exceeds what a properly specified project would have cost in the first place.
If you're planning a microcement project in London or the Home Counties and want honest, clear guidance on what your specific project involves — before you commit to anything — get in touch.
We'll assess the substrate, the environment, the preparation, and the right system for the job, and give you a realistic picture from the start.
