I've never done a cement background before. I'm not real fond of the 6 week or so cure time. But I have used non sanded grout (the stuff you put between flooring tiles), and it works just as well. I used acrylics craft paint to detail it and then sprayed it down with a clear spray paint that is formulated for plastics.

Maybe one of our UK folks will chime in with some supply suggestions
