Microcement questions, answered.

Microcement is a cement-based decorative coating, just 2–3 mm thick, applied in continuous layers over existing surfaces such as tiles, plaster, concrete or wood. It produces a seamless, waterproof finish suitable for bathrooms, kitchens, floors, walls, terraces and pools.

Yes. With Microbase as the bonding base coat, microcement bonds directly to ceramic and porcelain tiles without removal — saving time, dust and demolition cost on most renovations.

Yes when sealed correctly. KCBerry systems are sealed with 2-component polyurethane or pool-grade sealers, giving full waterproof performance suitable for showers, wetrooms, terraces and swimming pools.

Microcement supply prices typically range from €35 to €70 per square metre (materials only) depending on the system and colour. Professional supply-and-install pricing depends on substrate condition, surface preparation and finish — request a free quote for an exact figure.

Correctly applied and sealed microcement lasts 15–25 years on walls and 10–20 years on floors. KCBerry offers a 5-year warranty on professionally-applied systems.

Yes, with our DIY kits and application guide — but it is a skilled finish. Beginners should start with our Sample Kit and a small wall to gain feel before tackling floors or wet areas. For showers, pools and high-traffic floors we strongly recommend a trained applicator.

When applied correctly over a stable substrate with our fibre-reinforced Microbase, microcement is highly crack-resistant. Most cracking issues come from substrate movement (e.g. expansion joints, flexible timber) which must be respected in the build-up.
