Microcement Plastering Services in Essex and London
Elevate your walls and floors with a finish that flows.
When you’re designing a home, you usually have to choose between “beautiful” and “practical.” Microcement is the rare exception that offers both. It is a contemporary decorative coating that provides a completely seamless finish for floors, walls, and even worktops.
The beauty of microcement lies in its continuity. Removing the need for grout lines and joints creates a sense of flow that can make a standard room feel like a high-end architectural space.
At Gem Plastering, we specialise in bringing this versatile material to life for those searching for plastering near me.
Why Microcement is Redefining Interior Design
If you’ve ever spent an afternoon scrubbing bathroom grout with a toothbrush, you’d be happy to find out the benefits of microcement:
Retrofit Friendly: Microcement can be applied in thin layers (usually 2-3mm) directly over existing tiles, concrete, or plasterboards. This means you can achieve a total transformation without the mess, noise, and cost of a complete demolition.
Indestructible Style: Despite its refined look, microcement is incredibly hard-wearing. Once fully cured and sealed, it is water-resistant and highly resilient against the daily foot traffic of a busy family home.
A Bespoke Palette: Because it is applied by hand, we can control the movement, texture, and tone. You can get a high-gloss polished look or a matte, earthy finish with it.
The Gem Plastering Standards: Our 3-Step Process
A microcement finish is only as good as the hands that apply it. We don’t believe in “quick fixes”; we believe in work that lasts a lifetime.
- Detailed Surface Preparation
We start with a thorough “health check” of your existing substrate. Any cracks in plaster or instabilities are repaired. Then, the area is cleaned and primed. This creates a chemical bond between the old surface and the new material, preventing peeling or cracking down the line. - The Art of the Layered Application
We build your surface by hand, layer by layer, to create depth. Applying multiple thin coats ensures consistent aesthetic and structural integrity. This is the stage where the “character” of the wall or floor is born. - Protection for the Longevity
To finish, we apply high-performance sealants specifically chosen for your room’s needs. For bathrooms and kitchens, we use moisture-resistant seals that prevent staining and water ingress. This helps avoid future plaster hole repair or surface patching. It guarantees your investment looks brand new, even in the most high-traffic areas of the home.
