6 Advantages of Using Microcement on Your Bathroom Floor, No Beating Around the Bush

If you’ve made it this far, it’s because you’re already picturing your bathroom floor with microcement—smooth, seamless, and straight out of a magazine. But before you dive into the adventure of using ready-to-use microcement, you need answers: Why is everyone talking about this material? What makes it special? Is it really worth it?

It’s not just about aesthetics. A bathroom floor must be water-resistant, withstand temperature changes, handle cleaning products, and endure daily use without cracking, becoming slippery, or growing mold. So, is applying microcement to your bathroom floor the best choice? Let’s find out.

1. Seamless Finish for Easy Cleaning and Maintenance

Tile grout lines are the perfect hiding spots for dirt. Over time, those lines between tiles darken, collect mold, and make cleaning a never-ending struggle.

That’s why microcement is the ideal choice for your bathroom floor. No cuts, no grout lines where grime can build up. Plus, maintenance is much easier and faster. With just water and neutral soap, your microcement bathroom floor stays spotless—no need for harsh chemicals or scrubbing between tiles.

A modern, practical finish designed to make your life easier. Less worry, more time for yourself.

2. Slip-Resistant and Safe Flooring—No More Accidents

Stepping out of the shower and feeling like you're on an ice rink is not the best way to start your day. Some floors can be treacherous when wet, and the last thing you want is a scare—or worse, an unnecessary fall.

The good news? Microcement is not only stylish but also safe. The secret lies in the varnish applied as the final step of the process, which can include a slip-resistant finish to reduce the risk of slipping. You don’t have to choose between design and safety—you can have an elegant, seamless floor while knowing it won’t turn into a hazardous zone every time you step out of the shower.

Extra grip, extra peace of mind. Because a bathroom floor should be as beautiful as it is functional!

3. Use Microcement in a Small Bathroom and Gain Visual Space

If you have a small bathroom, you might wonder whether microcement is the right choice or if it will make the space feel even smaller. Well, here’s a little secret: microcement is actually the best ally for bathrooms with limited square footage.

The reason is simple: because it’s a seamless coating, it creates a continuous visual effect that makes the space appear larger. No interruptions on the floor, no dividing lines. The result? A sense of spaciousness you simply can’t achieve with other materials.

And that’s not all. Microcement also enhances brightness. How? Thanks to its smooth finish, which reflects light better. Even the darkest bathrooms can appear brighter and more open. That’s an extra boost for lighting quality!

4. Renovation Without Construction Work—DIY-Friendly

When you think about changing your bathroom floor, the first thing that comes to mind is heavy construction, noise, dust everywhere, and, if things get complicated, an unusable bathroom for days. Sounds like a nightmare, right?

But what if we told you that you don’t have to go through all that to renovate your bathroom floor with microcement? Just thinking about it, you can already see the lightbulb going off in your head!

Well, imagine freely—because it’s true! With ready-to-use microcement, you don’t have to remove tiles or create debris. It applies directly over your existing floor!

And since it’s pre-mixed and ready to go, application is easier than you’d imagine. No mixing, no endless waiting times, no unnecessary complications. In no time at all, your bathroom floor will be renewed—without the chaos of a full renovation.

You don’t need a professional! You can do it yourself.

5. Limitless Design—A Floor That Adapts to Any Style

One of the most frustrating things about choosing a bathroom floor is when it limits the rest of your decor. Too classic, too cold, too… whatever.

Microcement frees you from all that. Neutral colors for a minimalist bathroom, dark tones for an elegant touch, or vibrant shades if you love bold choices. You decide the style—without sacrificing functionality!

6. Renovate Your Bathroom Floor with Microcement Without Breaking the Bank

If you’ve read this far, it’s because the benefits of using microcement on your bathroom floor are convincing you. But let’s be honest—what you really want to know is whether it fits your budget. And the answer is yes.

DIY microcement, like the one we offer at Smartcret, is the best option not only for a renovation without construction but also for saving money on labor and avoiding the extra costs of demolition and debris removal. All you need is the microcement, a little time, and, of course, plenty of excitement for transforming your bathroom space. It’s much cheaper than a traditional renovation, and the result is professional-quality.

Less expense, more transformation! So, you don’t need to sell a kidney to renovate your bathroom—just choose wisely and take advantage of microcement’s benefits.

Neutral Tones vs. Bold Colors for Your Microcement Bathroom Floor

Choosing the color of the microcement for your bathroom floor might seem like a simple decision until you're faced with the full palette of options and start wondering: should I play it safe or go for something bold?

If you're someone who believes that 'less is more,' neutral tones like gray, beige, or white are the perfect choice. In our Smartcret color catalog, you can choose from four shades of white, four sandy tones, and five grays. Pair an off-white with a lichen gray or a champagne hue with a warm white. The options are endless! The best part? These colors exude elegance, go with everything, and never go out of style.

And here’s another bonus: if you enjoy switching up your decor from time to time, a neutral floor is like a blank canvas, allowing you to play with furniture, textiles, and details without worrying about clashing colors.

On the other hand, if you're all about taking risks and adding extra personality when applying microcement to your bathroom floor, bold colors are for you. If this is your vibe, Smartcret offers up to three shades of green, helping you connect with freshness, nature, and calmness. We also have coral pink—a vibrant hue that adds warmth and energy to your bathroom’s microcement floor. You could even go for pastel blue, evoking the spaciousness and serenity of the sea.

Can you already picture it? Get ready to learn more about the finishes—you’re going to love them!

Stylish Finishes for Your Microcement Bathroom Floor

As we've explained, microcement is not only durable and easy to maintain, but it also allows you to choose how it looks and feels under your feet.

Looking for a modern touch? A satin-finish microcement is perfect for your bathroom floor. It reflects light beautifully, makes the space feel more open, and adds a subtle elegance without overdoing it.

Prefer something more natural and relaxed? No worries! For a softer, more understated effect, a matte-finish microcement is ideal for your bathroom floor. It smooths out the texture, reduces reflections, and (bonus!) helps hide water marks better. Practical and beautiful in equal measure!

At Smartcret, we know that "to each their own," which is why we offer these two finishes that blend design and functionality effortlessly. Satin for extra light, matte for a serene effect.

No matter your style, the result will be a bathroom full of personality—durable and easy to maintain. So… kick off your shoes and enjoy!

How to Apply Microcement to Your Bathroom Floor and Feel Like a Pro

Applying ready-to-use microcement to your bathroom floor is incredibly easy. Memorize this—because few renovations are this simple. You don’t need to remove a single tile or deal with complicated construction work. Just shake, open, and apply. That’s it!

And no, you don’t need to be a professional. Even if you’ve never held a trowel in your life, if you follow the step-by-step process, you’ll end up with a professional-looking microcement bathroom floor. Ready to give it a try?

1. Choose the Right Microcement Kit

Before diving into your big renovation, make sure you select the right kit for your floor. At Smartcret, we differentiate between absorbent surfaces (such as drywall or plaster) and non-absorbent surfaces (such as marble, terrazzo, or tile). Choose the one that best suits your bathroom floor, and everything will go smoothly.

2. Prepare Your Bathroom Floor

This step is crucial! Thoroughly clean the surface to remove any dust or grease.

If your floor is tile, marble, terrazzo, or a similar material, you'll need a joint filler to level it and prevent the lines from showing over time. Use Smart Jointer (Enlace no follow Tienda) for a flawless result. Cover the bathroom floor where you’ll be applying the microcement and let it dry for 24 hours. Once dry, don’t forget to sand! Always do this manually with 40-grit sandpaper.

3. Apply a Primer

This is where you create the perfect base for microcement to adhere—like a snail to its favorite branch (yes, that strong!).

If your floor is non-absorbent (marble, tile, porcelain…), we recommend using Smart Primer PLUS (Enlace Tienda). If it's absorbent (drywall or plaster), go with Smart Primer ABS (Enlace Tienda). Once applied, wait 30 minutes for it to dry—less time than an episode of your favorite Netflix show!

4. Coat with Microcement

Now comes the exciting part! It's time to apply microcement to your bathroom floor and watch the transformation take shape. Start with Smart Base (Enlace Tienda). Use a trowel to spread the product at a 45º angle, and once it’s smooth, apply two coats using the Smart Roller (Enlace Tienda).

Let each coat dry for six hours, and in the meantime, start visualizing how amazing your new microcement bathroom floor will look. After each drying period, don’t forget to sand! Use 40-grit sandpaper again.

5. Repeat the Process with Smart Liso

Now that you know the process, repeat the steps by applying two coats of our Smart Liso microcement (Enlace Tienda) with the polycarbonate trowel and Smart Roller (Enlace Tienda). As before, let each coat dry for six hours and sand in between—this time with 220-grit sandpaper.

Bit by bit, your bathroom floor is taking shape, right? Before finishing with the final step, let it dry for 24 hours, and the result will be stunning—promise!

6. Finish with Varnish

The final step is to protect your hard work. For this, use Smart Varnish (Enlace Tienda) and mix it with Smart Varnish Hardener (Enlace Tienda) to give your bathroom floor extra protection against daily wear and moisture.

Since we love movie-worthy results, you'll need to apply three coats in total, allowing each to dry for four hours. Once finished, simply sand with 400-grit sandpaper, and you're done!

Now, your microcement bathroom floor is fully prepared for daily use—just enjoy it and show it off to your friends!

As you can see, renovating your bathroom floor with microcement is no mystery—you just need the right materials and a little patience. And if you want to make the process even easier, Smartcret offers ready-to-use microcement kits with everything you need in one package. No mixing, no complications—just open and apply.
