Product description

Samples are supplied free on request. Order a set here and we will post you five hand-finished swatches — microcement, liquid metal, or a mix of the two — finished exactly as a completed piece would be, so you can see the colour, texture and sheen in the light of your own room before committing to anything.

What you get

Five hand-finished swatches, made in the same way as a finished piece
Microcement in our standard palette — Hueso, Plata, Arena, Terra, Verde, Azul and Antracita
Liquid metal from the Oxidart and Leopard Brass collections
Sealed to the same specification as a finished bath, worktop or wall
No charge, and no obligation to order

Tell us which finishes you would like in the order notes. If you are not sure, say a little about the room and we will choose a spread that suits it.

Bespoke projects

If you already know roughly what you want — a freestanding bath, a run of worktop, an island or bar top, a wall finish, a vanity unit, or an existing piece refinished — tell us in the order notes and we will come back to you with sizes, lead times and a price alongside the samples.

Every project is quoted individually, because pricing depends on the substrate, the area and the finish. Microcement colour can also be matched to an existing floor, tile or paint reference if nothing in the standard palette is right.

Please note

Bespoke and made-to-order pieces are produced specifically for you, in your chosen finish and dimensions, and are not eligible for return or refund once the order is confirmed. This is exactly why we send samples first — please take the time to see the finish in your own space before committing. Your statutory rights in respect of faulty or misdescribed goods are unaffected.

FAQs

Can I see the finish before I order?

Yes. Order the free sample set, or visit our showroom at 2/3 Borough Road, Newcastle-under-Lyme, ST5 1TJ, where the full finish range is on display. Colour on screen is only a guide, and hand-applied finishes shift with the light in a room, so we always recommend seeing a sample first.

Will mine look exactly like the photographs?

Each piece is finished by hand, so no two are identical. Expect natural movement in tone and texture. That variation is the character of the finish, not a fault.

Can I have a different size or colour?

Usually, yes. Microcement is pigmented to order and can be matched to your floor, walls or worktops. Tell us what you need using the enquiry button and we will come back with a price and lead time.

Is it suitable for wet areas?

Once sealed, microcement is fully waterproof and suitable for bathrooms, kitchens and other wet areas. Your piece is sealed in our workshop before it leaves us.

How do I look after it?

Wipe with a soft cloth and a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid bleach, abrasive pads and harsh descalers, which can dull the seal. We include care instructions with every piece.

Can I return a bespoke piece?

Because every piece is made specifically for you, bespoke and made-to-order items cannot be returned or refunded once the order is confirmed. If anything arrives damaged, tell us within 48 hours and we will put it right.
