How is microcement priced in the UK?

Microcement is a bespoke, hand-applied finish — typically 8–12 coats applied personally by a trained applicator over 5–7 days on site, using the full CimentArt system top to bottom. It is priced per project, not by day rate and not off a fixed price list.

What shapes the figure

• Substrate condition — sound, level substrates need less preparation than rough or wet ones.
• Scope — a single feature, a full room, a whole floor or a worktop are very different jobs.
• Geometry & detail — corners, niches, bullnose edges and returns add hand time.
• Wet rooms & bathrooms — tanking and the Aqua sealer system add specification.
• Colour — standard CimentArt tones are quicker than custom Pantone or RAL matches.
• Access & programme — difficult access, tight programmes or out-of-hours work all move the number.

What you should never pay for

Single-component sealers. Skipped primer. Self-trained installers without manufacturer certification. Quotes that don't itemise the system.
