Tadelakt Basins - Renovating ceramic vanity basins

Two ceramic basins with minor crazing and small chips were coated with a Tadelakt plaster finish to create an entirely new basin look and texture using the original basin as the form.

Tadelakt is an ancient lime plastering technique, dating back to the 11-12th century in the High Atlas mountains near Marrakech, where the raw limestone is still excavated and used today. Tadelakt is a waterproof lime plaster traditionally used in hammams and public baths, but due to its elegance and exotic look it began to be used on walls, kitchens, bathrooms and even decorations in Marrakech riads, and now all around the world as more and more people begin to discover the beauty of this amazing technique.

Hello!! I would love to do thé same for me, would it be possible to describe and give the receipe to each step? That would be really really nice!! Thank you :)

This is a very satisfying film to watch and a beautiful result. I have a tadelakt walk-in shower that is now about 4 years old but the surface of the tadelakt in one corner has started to break down and has lost its shine and leaves a milky deposit on the shower tray. Can i just recover it with fresh tadelakt? Thanks

Muy bonito todo pero no dices cuales son los materiales ni las cantidades que usas.

I recommend taping off the drain or sticking a rag in it and removing faucet/hardware first.

I have a similar basin with a hairline crack. People say I should replace it. Perhaps I could do this instead?

[akashawolf]

Do you think this could be done to a tub? I it possible to successfully cover a tub with Tadelakt or microcement?

[haleyfinnegan]

I'm about to tadelakt my shower. Do you have a step by step guide?

[jojojo]

How has it held up to stains? For example toothpaste or cosmetic products? Is it easy to clean?

[ionvasile]

Nice work. What materials are those at 0:29? Do i have to use original tadelakt or i can make my own hydrated lime receipe?

[saren]

the first layer on the mesh was standard tile adhesive? nice job mate

[tallybery]

What's the advantage of doing this if you already had a ceramic basin?

[brendanlea]

Hi looks amazing
What type of lime are you using for the finish coat

[mjremy]

It would have been useful to see the finished product at the end instead of ending so abruptly. No polishing compound shown, what wax was that? What were the materials used - nothing explained. Epic Fail.

How come you aren't wearing gloves?

[derekcraig]

could've done a better job with the base coat. made the rest of the coats look amateurish
