Absolutely. Microcement is an ideal choice for bathrooms because it is inherently waterproof and seamless. Without grout lines, there is nowhere for moisture to penetrate or bacteria to grow, making it a hygienic, spa-like solution for showers, floors, and even custom-coated vanities.

While the raw material cost may be comparable to high-end tile, microcement is a specialized, labor-intensive craft. It is often more expensive than basic ceramic tiling due to the multi-stage hand-troweling process. However, you save on demolition costs (if going over old tile) and benefit from a long-term, maintenance-free surface.

Yes, microcement bathrooms usually cost between $25–$35+ per square foot in Toronto, depending on the size, prep work, and finish level. Accent features, niches, or ceilings can add to the cost due to the custom labor involved.

When professionally installed, microcement does not crack easily. It is polymer-modified to provide flexibility that traditional concrete lacks. Regarding hygiene, because it is seamless and non-porous, microcement does not go mouldy—it eliminates the damp grout lines where mould typically thrives.

Yes. One of the biggest advantages of microcement is its incredible adhesion. It can be applied directly over existing tiles (saving you the mess of demolition) or standard drywall. We use a specialized fiberglass mesh and high-bond primers to ensure the finish remains stable and crack-free over these substrates.

A professionally installed and sealed microcement surface can last 20+ years. Much like natural stone or hardwood, it is a “renewable” surface. If it shows wear after a decade, it can be lightly sanded and resealed to look brand new without the need for a full replacement.

While we offer Professional Microcement Kits for DIYers, bathrooms are the most technically challenging areas due to waterproofing requirements. For a shower or wet room, we highly recommend our professional installation service to ensure a 100% watertight, warrantied finish.

Unlike Epoxy (which is a synthetic plastic resin), Microcement has a real cementitious feel and matte aesthetic. Compared to Tadelakt (a traditional lime-based plaster), Microcement is much more durable, easier to maintain, and does not require specialized soaps for resealing, making it more practical for modern Toronto homes.

Microcement has gained major popularity in bathroom renovations because of its seamless, waterproof finish and modern, minimalist look. In 2025, design trends are shifting away from grout lines and heavy tile patterns toward smoother, sculptural surfaces. Microcement offers:

• Custom textures and colours
• Easy maintenance (no grout to clean)
• Versatility (can be applied on walls, floors, ceilings, and furniture)
• Quick installation over existing surfaces like tile or drywall
• It’s also compatible with curved forms, niches, and integrated shelves—making it a go-to for contemporary, spa-like bathrooms.
