Cast-In-Place Mix
Our Cast-In-Place Concrete Mix is a specially formulated premium high-strength concrete mix perfect for DIY polished concrete projects.
• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
• Suitable for cast-in-place or cast-in-situ concrete kitchens, worktops, countertops, tables, bars or sink projects.
• Designed to be cast at a core thickness of 30mm
• Cast the "right way up" onto cement board with the base formwork being left in place forming part of the structure.
Add Smoothing Paste
Why?
When you have cast your concrete there will inevitably be some small holes (pin holes) and sometimes larger holes.
Despite being a bit unsightly, you can't leave these on surfaces which are going to be used for food.
So this is where our colour-matched smoothing paste comes in handy!
This is very similar to our concrete mix but contains far smaller aggregates allowing the paste to fill those pinholes and blend seamlessly into the overall concrete finish.

Add Extra Reinforcement
Why?
If you plan on having any openings in your concrete then this can create a weakness at the thinnest points in the concrete.
So to counter this you need to add some reinforcement. Fibreglass reinforcement bars are perfect for this.
Add 4 bars per opening so that they can be placed beneath the surface of the concrete as in the above image.

Prep Your Moulds
Why?
This cast-in-place mould preparation kit is perfect for ensuring your moulds are suitable for your cast-in-place or cast insitu concrete project. It contains the following products;
Water-Based Mould Release Agent (1 Litre) - this ensures easy demoulding of mould parts that are removed once the concrete has gone hard.
Concentrated Universal Concrete Primer (1 Litre) - this is applied to the parts of the mould that stay in place, that the concrete is poured onto. It prevents those parts from sucking any moisture out of the concrete mix to ensure it reaches full strength.
Add Sanding Discs
Why?
You will need to sand and polish your concrete as part of the overall process. These ceramic discs are hardwearing and get the job done compared with standard sanding pads.
750 Ceramic Net sanding discs with velcro fixing. Net construction for dust free sanding, ceramic grit that stays sharper for longer giving the discs a longer working life, meaning you use less! Due to the ceramic grit these discs are exceptional on most surfaces and materials including all woods, metals, paints, fillers, concrete, microcement and composites.

Seal Your Concrete!
Why?
Sealing your new concrete with Concrete Lab Sealer is a crucial step in protecting the surface and preserving its finish. Fresh concrete is naturally porous, which means it can easily absorb liquids, oils, and other contaminants that cause stains, marks, and long-term damage. Our specially formulated sealer penetrates deep into the surface, creating a protective barrier that repels moisture, resists staining, and makes cleaning much easier. It also enhances the appearance of the concrete, giving it a clean, consistent finish while maintaining a natural look. Whether it’s a worktop, vanity, or decorative piece, sealing with Concrete Lab Sealer helps ensure your concrete stays looking great and performing well for years to come.
Concrete Lab Polyurethane Sealer is a two-component product based on water-based polyurethane resin, which creates a durable impregnating coating that is both mechanically and chemically resistant, and provides effective protection against moisture and dirt.
It does not turn yellow and is resistant to UV radiation, which guarantees long-lasting surface aesthetics.
Its advantage is ease of cleaning - even heavy dirt is easy to remove.
The product is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It is perfect for protecting intensively used floor and wall surfaces, including cast concrete, microcement, resin and stone.
It can be used to protect surfaces covered with concrete coatings on worktops, furniture, floors and walls of various porosities. Its versatility allows for a wide range of applications, both in residential and commercial spaces.

Wax Your Concrete!
Why?
Once your sealer has fully cured, applying Concrete Wax is the perfect way to add an extra layer of protection to your concrete surface.
Our wax is easy to apply, quick to buff, and helps shield the sealer from everyday wear, spills, and minor scratches.
It adds a beautiful satin sheen that enhances the look of your concrete without making it overly glossy, and it’s simple to reapply as needed to keep your surface looking fresh.
Regular waxing not only prolongs the life of the sealer but also makes cleaning even easier.
P.S. Its food-safe.
