Give each surface a clear role
Looking at microcement for your Breda home or business? Start by separating the surfaces: a living-room wall, a shower, a floor and a counter are different pieces of work. Coated applies Forcrete finishes and helps you define the scope in English or Dutch. Our base is in Schiedam; availability and site arrangements are agreed for your project.
You do not need to coat every surface to create a coherent interior. A quieter floor can sit beside a more expressive wall, with timber or existing details left visible. Show us what you want to retain as well as what you want to change. It makes the material conversation much more useful than a colour name alone.
Discipline As Foundation
Coated Surfaces grew out of a world where precision isn't negotiable. Founder Pom spent years as a professional dancer at Cirque du Soleil. Every night the same movement, down to the millimetre. That might sound far from floors and walls, but it's the opposite.
Microcement demands exactly that same control. Timing, feel, precision. The difference between a good floor and an exceptional one comes down to millimetres. We take the time it needs. No rushing, no half measures. Just lasting surfaces that bring calm to a space.

Resolve edges before covering the wall
For a feature wall, identify switches, sockets, shelves and the edges against ceilings or joinery. Lighting and the direction of view affect how the hand-applied texture reads. Check the sample beside the other finishes and explain whether lighting or fitted furniture will change later.
For a bathroom or kitchen, mark the areas exposed to water and the junctions around sanitary fittings. A decorative wall elsewhere in the home is not a specification for a shower or counter. The system, support and connection details must be chosen for the actual use. Necessary joints remain part of that design.
If original doors, skirtings or stone thresholds are staying, measure their relationship to the proposed floor. A thin finish does not guarantee that no adjustment is needed once the preparation is included. If a building or interior is protected, establish what work is permitted before making changes; this page is not an approval to alter historic fabric.

What clients say
Google review“We had our bathroom, measuring approximately 3 by 3 metres, completely renovated with microcement by Pom of Coated Surfaces, including a wall enclosing the shower. [...] In short: a craftsman and a pleasure to have in your home.”
Google review“It had been a wish for years. Pom made that wish come true. In a short conversation we shared our wishes and Pom thought along with us. The work was done very neatly, precisely and as agreed. His aftercare is also very good. We are very happy with the end result. Thank you, Pom.”
Google review“Top company, they think along with you and simply keep the agreements they make! As it should be. Pom delivered a piece of true craftsmanship in our bathroom.”
Real references, without a local-project claim
Our Rotterdam bathroom and Amsterdam retail project show how a surface meets fittings, furniture and light. Those are the actual project locations, not Breda case studies. Use the portfolio to point out details you like, then let the proposal explain how they would work in your space. Materials look their best when the construction beneath them has been considered too.
Working around a home or opening date
Send photographs, approximate surface areas and a list of the items that remain. Wall area should be measured separately from floor area. Include who will remove and refit fittings, and whether another contractor is preparing the substrate.
For a shop or hospitality space, describe opening hours, delivery routes and the earliest possible closure. There is no blanket weekend-installation promise. Preparation, successive layers and curing all belong in the plan. Confirm the permitted reopening conditions and give the aftercare instructions to the cleaning team before the space returns to use.
What to include in your enquiry
- List floor, dry wall, shower and counter areas separately.
- Photograph retained joinery, fittings and thresholds.
- For a business, include closure options and the cleaning routine.
As a starting point, floors are from €140/m² and bathrooms and walls from €180/m², excluding VAT. Material and application are included; preparation is additional. The minimum project value is €3,000 excluding VAT. The cost guide explains the rates; your quotation defines the actual scope and price.

Good to know
Can I choose a textured wall without changing the floor?
Yes, a project can concern a selected wall rather than the whole room. The support, edges and intended use still need assessment. Review the sample beside the existing floor and under the lighting that will be used.
Can you finish a Breda shop in one weekend?
Do not plan on that without a project-specific assessment. Preparation, the selected system and curing govern the schedule. Reopening to customers can have different requirements from light access by an installer.
Can microcement preserve original thresholds?
It may be possible to design around them, but the finished levels and necessary preparation must be measured first. A thin surface coating does not automatically preserve every clearance or remove the need for alterations.
