The most useful bathroom renovation tips

Next, we detail a series of items that must be met to successfully renovate the bathroom.

Do you want a modern, vintage or rustic bathroom? Depending on the style you choose, you will need to select between different materials. If you need inspiration you can look in decoration magazines or you can also ask us if you want to use any of our products. We advise you without obligation.

2. Make the most of the space

Even though the bathroom is small, you can make the most of it by making good use of the available space. For example, by opting for a built-in bathtub, you gain meters, and it is ideal for small bathrooms. Choose furniture and mirrors with simple lines, so they don't saturate the environment.

3. Don't neglect the lighting

Lighting is essential to create a pleasant and bright atmosphere. If the bathroom is small, opt for indirect lighting, with soft and warm light. And if it is spacious, you can include spotlights to highlight certain areas, such as the mirror area or the sink.

Advantages of bathroom renovations with microcement

Next, we analyse the pros and cons of microcement in bathrooms, so you can decide if it's the ideal finish for your next bathroom project.

Resistance and durability

Microcement is very resistant and durable, which makes it the ideal finish for bathrooms, where a product that can withstand water and heat is needed. In addition, microcement is very resistant to scratches and wear, so it will remain in perfect condition for many years.

Easy to maintain

Microcement is very easy to clean and maintain, making it an ideal option for bathrooms. A simple hand of water and soap is enough to keep it in perfect condition, without the need to use abrasive chemicals.

Modern and elegant appearance

Microcement gives bathrooms a modern and elegant look, which will remain attractive for many years. Microcement is available in a wide range of colours and shades, making it easy to find a combination that suits your style and decor.

Versatility

Microcement is extremely versatile and can be applied to almost any surface. It can be used to coat walls, floors, ceilings, countertops and furniture, making it ideal for small or limited space bathrooms.

It's an easy-to-install coating

Microcement is relatively easy to install, but it requires careful surface preparation and expert application to ensure a perfect finish.

The surface on which the microcement is to be applied must be completely smooth, clean and free of imperfections. If the surface is not in perfect condition, the microcement will not adhere properly and its appearance and durability will be affected.

Once the surface is prepared, a layer of adhesive cement is applied, which is left to dry for a few hours. Then, the first layer of microcement is applied, which is left to dry for 24 hours. Several more layers of this coating are applied, allowing each one to dry for 24 hours, until the desired height is reached.

Once the microcement is completely dry, it is sprayed with water and left to dry for a few hours. Then, a waterproofing sealant is applied, which will protect the coating from water damage.

What is the price of renovating a bathroom with microcement?

The cost of renovating a bathroom with microcement can vary considerably, depending on the size of the bathroom, the complexity of the renovation and the desired level of finish. It should also be taken into account that microcement offers a range of both aesthetic and functional benefits. Its uniform and matte appearance is perfect for creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere, while its smooth and waterproof surface is very easy to clean and maintain.

Renovating the bathroom with microcement is saving money since it is applied quickly, the works last a short time and, therefore, the labour needed is little. The same happens with the materials, which with a small amount of product can cover a large surface.
