Does Bunnings have a microcement product for use over tiles in bathroom?

 Hi everyone,

 

I was wondering if anyone knows if Bunnings does a DIY microcement product/kit that we could use to apply over existing tiles in our bathroom?

 

See attached pic for a reference.

 

Thank you in advance! :smile:

Hello @MsGoGo

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about microcement.

 

I suggest having a look at this discussion - Rendering over the top of existing tiles by @DopyDingo. Unfortunately, the store does not carry a microcement kit, however, if you are planning on rendering a tile wall, I recommend using the Dunlop 20kg Multipurpose Acrylic Render. Please remember that this is a render, so tile surface preparation is very important and the application of Crommelin 1L Tile On Tile Primer is a must.

 

The only drawback to rendering a tile wall is the tile itself. Should the tile glue or tile itself fail for any reason, it will reflect on the surface finish of the render. 

 

Let me call on our experienced members @Adam_W, @ProjectPete and @tom_builds for their recommendations.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
