We are remodeling our downstairs powder room and decided to try a skim coat of concrete over the existing older cracked tile. The substrate is solid, the tiles are just old, 40+ years old. We took out the vanity, sink, and mirror. I kind of like the old sink, so I'll use the old counter off the vanity as a template, cut out some new MDF board, and skim coat it with concrete. The vanity could not be saved; it was falling apart from water damage and old age.
The concrete that we plan to use is a resurfacing polymer concrete that will resist cracking. You can't use acid stain with this, but can add color.
I plan to use products from a big box store: a concrete resurfacer and a concrete bonding agent, sold by the gallon.
This is will be a very inexpensive remodel with nice results. I'll share when we are done.
Here's a video on how to do the floor:

And one for counter tops:
, on Amazon for my daughter's homeschool items. I store it in the corner when not in use, and pull it out to where we decide to do our work - it changes from day to day. I can even roll it outside on the concrete. The trays are deep enough to hold standard sized paper and workbooks, and wide enough to store paper and workbooks on the same shelf. I've got them going two different directions to fit(see picture).
