Project Overview: Microcement Bathroom Bristol
Ideal for bathrooms, showers and wet areas
Microcement is a popular choice for bathrooms across Bristol, Bath, Gloucester and the wider South West because it forms one seamless, water resistant surface with no grout lines. Because it is applied by hand, it also wraps curves, arches and sloping ceilings that tiles would struggle to follow, which makes it ideal for loft bathrooms like this one.
Key elements:
- Valpaint E-VOLUTION PLUS microcement system
- Valpaint SABULADOR SOFT decorative finish under clear resin
- Seamless walls, bath panel, arched shower and niche with no grout lines
- Soft, luminous movement under the loft roof windows
- Hand applied by trained Valpaint specialists
What does a seamless microcement bathroom look like?
In this loft bathroom, one warm neutral finish runs from the bath panel across the walls and into the arched walk in shower, including the round porthole window reveal and the matching niche. Because Valpaint E-VOLUTION PLUS is applied by hand, it follows every curve and slope without a single cut or joint, so the arches look clean and crisp.
Daylight from the roof windows moves across the surface and brings out the soft, sandy reflections of Valpaint SABULADOR SOFT beneath the clear resin. Paired with aged brass taps, a round mirror, a floating vanity and a wall hung WC, the result is a calm, spa like room with a tactile, handcrafted feel.
Why does Valpaint E-VOLUTION PLUS work so well in bathrooms?
Valpaint formulated E-VOLUTION PLUS specifically for bathroom walls and floors as well as shower interiors, with high resistance to water and foot traffic. Its clear two component resin is applied with a trowel, so it sits on vertical walls without running, and the system can be applied over existing tiles without stripping them out.
In this Bristol loft, that meant one continuous surface from the bath to the inside of the shower, with no grout lines to trap dirt and a finish that wipes clean in seconds.
