Microcement Splashback – Bristol

Contemporary Kitchen Project – Seamless Microcement Splashback

This microcement splashback in Bristol was created with the Valpaint E-volution Plus system — a seamless, waterproof finish hand-applied across the splashback and surrounding kitchen walls as one continuous, joint-free surface. The soft, warm greige tone brings a calm, contemporary feel that lets the veined stone worktop and handleless cabinetry take centre stage.

Project Overview – Microcement Splashback Bristol

Ideal for splashbacks, walls and wet areas

Microcement is an increasingly popular choice across Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, and the wider South West because it forms a seamless, waterproof, wipe-clean surface with no grout lines, and brings a warm, contemporary, handcrafted feel to modern kitchens.

Key elements:

  • Valpaint E-volution Plus microcement system
  • Seamless, joint-free surface with no grout lines
  • Waterproof, wipe-clean finish behind hob and sink
  • Warm greige tone with a veined stone worktop
  • Hand-applied by trained specialists

Seamless Microcement Splashback and Kitchen Walls

This kitchen features a continuous microcement finish that runs from the splashback behind the hob across the surrounding walls, applied in the Valpaint E-volution Plus system to create one smooth, joint-free surface. With no tiles or grout lines, it is easy to keep clean and gives a calm, uncluttered look.

The warm under-cabinet lighting highlights the subtle movement in the microcement, while the seamless surface sits beautifully against the veined stone worktop and handleless cabinetry. Together, these elements create a refined, contemporary kitchen with a tactile, handcrafted feel.

Why Microcement Works Beautifully in Kitchens

Kitchens need a splashback that is both hard-wearing and beautiful. Microcement delivers exactly that: a seamless, waterproof surface with no grout lines to trap grease or grime, wiped clean in seconds. It reacts softly to light, adding depth and warmth without bold colours or busy patterns.

In this Bristol kitchen, the Valpaint E-volution Plus microcement flows uninterrupted from behind the hob across the full wall, giving a calm, modern backdrop that lets the natural stone worktop take centre stage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is microcement suitable for kitchen splashbacks?

Yes. Once sealed, microcement is waterproof, heat-tolerant and wipe-clean, which makes it ideal behind hobs and sinks. The Valpaint E-volution Plus system finishes with an epoxy resin and protective top coat, so the surface stands up to water, grease and everyday kitchen use.

Can microcement be applied over existing tiles?

Yes. E-volution Plus is designed to be applied over sound existing tiles or walls, building up a seamless new surface without the mess and cost of removing the old one.

Does a microcement splashback have grout lines?

No. Microcement is applied as one continuous, joint-free surface, so there are no grout lines to scrub or discolour. Applied by trained specialists over a properly prepared, stable substrate, it forms a hard, durable, crack-resistant finish.

How do I clean a microcement splashback?

Simply wipe it with a soft cloth and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner. The sealed, non-porous surface resists splashes and stains and needs no special maintenance.

Can you create a microcement splashback like this in my home?

Yes. We create bespoke microcement splashbacks, walls and floors across Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, Cheltenham and the wider South West, using Valpaint E-volution Plus, a professional microcement system.
