Decorative finish · Toronto & the GTA
Microcement in Toronto and the GTA, hand-applied over existing tile, concrete or drywall. No grout lines. Bathrooms, showers, floors and stairs. Free quote.
Microcement is a cement-based decorative coating, about 2 to 3 mm thick, trowelled by hand in layers over existing floors, walls, stairs and furniture. It is made from cement, polymers, fine aggregates and pigments, then sealed, so you get one continuous surface with no grout lines and the soft look of polished concrete.
Polished concrete needs a thick slab and expansion joints. Tile brings grout lines that collect dirt. Microcement gives a similar mineral look in a few millimetres, usually without demolition, and can run from the floor up the shower walls in one surface.
No grout to stain or scrub. Thin enough to go over sound tile and concrete. Durable under daily foot traffic, water-resistant once sealed, and available in many colours and textures, from very smooth to slightly stony.
Bathrooms and walk-in showers, kitchen floors and islands, stairs without metal nosings, fireplaces, built-in furniture and busy commercial spaces such as reception desks and shop floors.
If you want a modern interior with fewer lines, Microcement is a fast way to get it, often without removing what is already there. The renovation is quicker and the finished room looks calm and uncluttered.
Microcement is a cement-based coating, about 2 to 3 mm thick, trowelled on by hand and sealed. It covers floors, walls, showers and stairs in one finish with no grout lines. These are the Microcement services we offer in Toronto and the GTA.
Every installation follows the same steps: check the base, prime it, apply mesh-reinforced base coats, add the finish coats and seal. Skipping a step is the usual reason for cracks later, so we never do.
Bathrooms are the most common microcement job in Toronto. We cover walk-in showers, shower walls, floors, tub surrounds, niches and benches. In wet areas the microcement goes over a waterproofing membrane and gets a sealer rated for showers. With no grout lines, there is nothing to scrub.
You can keep your old tile. If it is firmly bonded and flat, we fill the grout lines, apply a bonding primer and a reinforced base coat, then the finish coats. This saves demolition, dust and weeks of work, which matters a lot in condos.
Microcement floors run from the kitchen into the living room without joints. They go over concrete or sound tile and are sealed for foot traffic, pets and spills.
Stairs are finished tread by tread, with no metal nosings, and sealed with a slip-resistant topcoat.
A microcement wall gives a calm, concrete look in matte or satin. It works in living rooms, bedrooms, offices and reception areas.
Islands, range hoods, backsplashes and floors can all share one finish. We use a sealer that handles water, oil and daily cleaning.
Old countertops, bathroom vanities and built-in benches can be resurfaced in microcement to match the floor or walls.

Questions & answers
Cost, durability, preparation and care, answered plainly.
All FAQsMicrocement has no grout lines, so there is nowhere for soap scum and mould to collect. In showers it sits on a waterproofing membrane and is finished with several coats of a sealer rated for wet areas, which makes it easy to wipe clean.
A finished Microcement system is about 2 to 3 mm thick. It can go over sound, well-bonded tile, concrete, cement board and prepared drywall, so door clearances and floor heights barely change.
Sealed Microcement handles normal household foot traffic, pets and spills well. The sealer takes most of the wear, so busy floors are resealed every few years to keep them protected.
Use warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner with a microfibre mop or cloth. Avoid bleach, vinegar and abrasive pads. Renew the sealer every few years on floors and kitchen surfaces.
