The Best Seamless Surface Solution for Bathrooms
In contemporary design, materiality plays a key role in shaping the tone of a space. That’s why designers and homeowners are turning to microcement — a seamless surface finish that brings architectural beauty to bathrooms. Microcement offers a versatile, durable alternative to conventional finishes with the added advantage of application over existing surfaces.
Why Choose Microcement Bathrooms?
Microcement is a polymer-modified cement-based coating that can be applied thinly over a range of surfaces. Our product X-Bond was formulated 30 years ago by leading surface engineers, who combined innovative molecular technology with a keen eye for modern design trends.
In the bathroom, microcement creates a seamless, hard-wearing, and waterproof finish that works across shower walls and floors, bathroom flooring, bathtubs, vanity surfaces and sink splashbacks.
Here’s why Australian clients have specified Seamless Overlays X-Bond Microcement in bathroom projects:
Minimal Disruption: Microcement can be applied directly over existing tiles, concrete, compressed sheeting and more — meaning faster turnarounds and less mess for your bathroom renovation.
Sleek Joint-Free Application: A smooth, continuous surface is perfect for minimalist design briefs as well as having the practical benefit of eliminating grout lines where soap scum and mould can accumulate.
Highly Durable: Perfect for wet areas and high-use zones, microcement is highly resilient (with correct substrate prep and sealing).
Slip Resistant: Because of its hand-trowelled application, a microcement surface is tactile by nature — which achieves both a beautiful, textural finish and ensures slip resistance for safe bathroom flooring.
Custom Finishes: Choose from a variety of textures and colours, including custom options to make your project stand out.
Tile Resurfacing Without Removal
Tired of your outdated tiles but not keen on demolition? Microcement works as a tile resurfacing solution, with the ability to be installed over existing tiles without the disruption of demolition. As long as the existing tile substrate is sound, we can apply our microcement surface overlay to cover grout lines, eliminate uneven textures, and modernise your space in just days.
How does it work? First, your contractor will apply a liquid 2-in-1 waterproofing and anti-fracture membrane and also level the tiles — ensuring a flat, stable, and waterproof base. Then, the X-Bond system is applied in two layers totalling 2-3mm thick, before being sealed to ensure lasting resistance to stains, mould, and water damage.
The Remodel Without Removal approach not only simplifies the renovation process, but also opens up new design possibilities in homes where structural changes may not be feasible — microcement’s lightweight and thin nature mean it won’t impact surface weight or height.
