What are seamless surfaces?

Seamless surfaces use microcement, tadelakt, and luxury plaster coatings applied directly over your existing walls, floors, and counters. No demolition. No grout lines. Just one smooth, continuous, waterproof surface that's faster to install and easier to maintain than traditional tile or stone.

How much does a microcement bathroom cost in New Orleans?

Most single-room seamless surface upgrades in the Greater New Orleans area run between $2,000 and $8,000 depending on square footage, prep work, and finish selection. Full multi-room transformations start at $8,000. The Seamless Studio gives you a free instant cost estimate for your specific space.

Is microcement waterproof?

Yes. Properly applied and sealed microcement is 100% waterproof and is regularly used in walk-in showers, wet rooms, pool decks, and exterior wet zones. No grout means no failure points where water can penetrate.

Can microcement be installed over existing tile?

Yes. Microcement bonds directly to existing tile, concrete, drywall, and even properly-prepped wood subfloors. No demolition is needed in most cases, which dramatically reduces cost and timeline versus a full tile replacement.

How long does a seamless surface installation take?

Most single-room installs complete in 2 to 5 days depending on scope. The work is done in layers, each curing 12-24 hours before the next. Once the final seal is applied, the surface is fully usable within 48 hours.

Yes — we serve Greater New Orleans including Metairie, Gretna, Harvey, Lakeview, Uptown, Mid-City, Marigny, Algiers, and the Westbank. For projects further out, text Ryan at 504-264-4919 to discuss.

Why New Orleans homeowners choose this

Built for the way New Orleans actually lives.

Naturally Waterproof

Tadelakt has been used in Moroccan hammams for 800+ years because the lime + olive-soap finish self-seals against water. No surface coating required.

Antibacterial by Chemistry

The high-pH lime substrate naturally resists mold, mildew, and bacteria — a real advantage in New Orleans humidity.

Hand-Polished Finish

Every surface is burnished by hand with river stones — producing the deep, glowing patina you can't fake.

Single Continuous Surface

Walls flow into floor with zero seams or transitions. The whole shower becomes one sculptural piece.

Who installs tadelakt in New Orleans?+

How much does a tadelakt shower cost in New Orleans?+

A tadelakt shower in the New Orleans area typically runs $3,500 to $12,000 depending on square footage, ceiling height, and color complexity. Full bathroom installs can reach $18,000.

Is tadelakt really waterproof without a sealer?+

Yes. Authentic tadelakt is burnished with river stone and treated with olive-oil soap, which creates a self-sealing surface. It has been the traditional finish for Moroccan hammams (steam baths) for centuries.

How long does a tadelakt shower take to install?+

Most tadelakt shower installs take 5 to 8 days because of the multiple hand-applied layers and burnishing time. The result is a one-of-a-kind hand-finished surface that machine-made tile can never replicate.
