Connect the spaces you actually use
For a home or workspace in Tilburg, microcement starts with a practical question: which surfaces should feel connected? Coated applies Forcrete finishes by hand and discusses projects in English or Dutch. We are based in Schiedam, not in a Tilburg branch. Share the layout and intended use before choosing a colour from a photograph.
A living room opening into a kitchen and a shop opening onto a stockroom have different requirements. Both may benefit from a calm, continuous appearance, but the access routes, cleaning and furniture loads need their own consideration. A shared colour does not mean every surface receives the same preparation.
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.

An open plan still has construction details
When rooms have been joined, show where the old dividing wall stood and where the floor materials change. Those interfaces belong in the assessment. A decorative finish is not a structural repair, and necessary movement joints must remain part of the design. It is better to position a visible transition deliberately than promise that every line can disappear.
For a kitchen or bathroom, separate the floor area from the walls, counter and shower. A countertop or basin is not simply a floor system turned sideways. The selected build-up must suit the surface and its use. Existing tiles can only stay if their condition and the required preparation support the proposal.
In a working studio or shop, map deliveries, wheeled equipment and cleaning before discussing the finish. Tell us whether the space can close or whether another route is possible. Phasing may help with access, but it should be agreed alongside the finish boundaries and curing requirements, not treated as a guaranteed way to stay open.

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.”
Choose a reference for the right reason
The Amsterdam concept-store project shows a finished retail interior; the Rotterdam bathroom shows a different scale and level of detail. Both are completed Coated work outside Tilburg. Use them to discuss the appearance and detailing you want. They do not establish that a different building can use the same substrate preparation or timetable.
Agree the boundaries before work starts
Send a plan with the rooms and surfaces marked, approximate dimensions and photographs of the current finish. Add any fixed dates, but explain what happens on those dates: reopening a shop, fitting a kitchen and moving furniture all place different demands on the surface.
The proposal should identify the preparation, the agreed sample, the work area and the route for other trades. Keep the sample as a reference for colour and texture, not as a promise that hand-applied work repeats an identical pattern. Before reopening, confirm which uses are permitted and give the cleaning instructions to the person who will maintain the space.
What to include in your enquiry
- Mark transitions between existing floor constructions.
- Separate residential use from retail, studio or hospitality use.
- Describe deliveries, furniture and cleaning, not just the opening date.
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 the finish run between rooms in my Tilburg home?
Possibly. The layout, levels and construction beneath each room need assessment first. A continuous visual design can still include necessary movement joints or a carefully placed transition. Send a plan showing which rooms you want to connect.
Can a business stay open during application?
That must be assessed for the particular layout and work sequence. Access, dust-producing preparation, application and curing may require closure. We do not promise a weekend turnaround or uninterrupted trading before reviewing the project.
Can the same finish be used on a floor and a counter?
The colours may be coordinated, but the system and detailing must suit each surface. Specify counters, floors and wet areas separately in the brief so their preparation and expected use are not overlooked.
