Microcement Cost by Surface Guide
The surfaces priced apart: floors, walls, showers and wet rooms, and countertops each stand in their own frame, Frame A counting national guide estimates and Frame B counting installer-published pricing.

The four surfaces, priced apart by frame
| Surface | Frame A, national guides | Frame B, installer-published |
|---|---|---|
| Floors | $15-$30 per square foot | $15-$20 per square foot |
| Walls | $10-$18 per square foot | $10-$15 per square foot |
| Showers and wet rooms | $40-$75 and above | $25-$35 per square foot |
| Countertops | quoted per project | no separate line carried |
Each figure here is one frame's own published line for that surface. Frame A prints the floor, wall, and wet-room surfaces apart and counts countertops as a per-project reading; Frame B prints the floor, wall, and wet-area surfaces apart on its second installer's guideline and carries no countertop line. The two columns are never averaged and never blended.
Floor and wall lines, as reported
| Surface line, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Floors, professional | Frame A | $15-$30 |
| Detailed guide, floors | Frame A | $25-$45 |
| Walls, professional | Frame A | $10-$18 |
| Detailed guide, walls and open areas | Frame A | $18-$35 |
| Floors | Frame B | $15-$20 |
| Walls | Frame B | $10-$15 |
| Ceilings | Frame B | $15-$20 |
The floor surface carries two Frame A readings apart: the general guide band on one line and the detailed guide band on another. Frame B's floor and wall lines stand below both, inside the installer-published frame only.
Shower and wet-room lines, as reported
| Wet line, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Bathrooms, showers, wet rooms | Frame A detailed | $40-$75 and above |
| Wet areas, showers and tubs | Frame B | $25-$35 |
| Bathroom walls and ceilings | Frame B | $20 |
| Los Angeles installer band, all surfaces | Frame B | $15-$35 |
The wet-room surface is the highest printed surface in both frames and the readings stand apart: Frame A's detailed band on one line and Frame B's wet-area line on its own line, with Frame B's bathroom wall and ceiling line counted as a wall reading, never a wet-area reading. No wet figure is read across frames.
Countertop lines, as reported
| Countertop line, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Countertops and bespoke pieces | Frame A detailed | quoted per project |
| Countertop line | Frame B | no separate line carried |
The countertop surface carries no per-square-foot band in either frame in this cluster: Frame A's detailed guide counts countertops and bespoke pieces as a per-project reading, and Frame B prints no countertop line. A surface is not a coating purchase and not a unit purchase: the garage epoxy flooring cluster prices a resin coating purchase, the polished-concrete comparison pages price grinding an existing slab, and the tile installation pages price a unit-and-grout purchase.
Surfaces priced apart, neighbours named apart
A surface line answers the surface question only inside its own frame: the wall line is not a small-area reading of the wet-room line. The neighbours stay apart on this page as on the hub: the garage epoxy flooring cluster prices a resin coating purchase, the polished-concrete comparison pages price a slab-grinding purchase, and the tile installation pages price a unit-and-grout purchase -- none prices a microcement surface.

What do microcement countertops cost, as reported?

Is a microcement surface the same purchase as epoxy or tile?
No, head-on: the garage epoxy flooring cluster prices a resin coating purchase and the tile installation pages price a unit-and-grout purchase. A microcement surface is a thin overlay finish, seamless and grout-free, priced by surface in this guide.
