Pool plastering can restore the surface of the pool to its original appearance, or even enhance it with a new color or texture.

Pool plastering can also help to extend the life of the pool by providing a protective layer.

A pool that looks and functions like new is a valuable asset that can add significant value to a property.

Pool plastering can also improve its functionality by creating a smoother surface that is more comfortable to swim in and easier to maintain.

While pool plastering does require an initial investment, it can be more cost-effective in the long run than repeatedly patching and repairing an old, worn pool surface. It can also help to prevent more expensive repairs down the line.

The first step is to prepare the surface of the pool. This involves removing any old plaster or tile, repairing any cracks or damage, and ensuring that the surface is clean and free of debris.

Once the surface is prepared, a bond coat is applied. The bond coat is a thin layer of cement-based material that creates a strong bond between the new plaster and the pool surface.

After the bond coat has cured, the plaster can be applied. The plaster is typically a mixture of white Portland cement, sand, and water. It may also contain additives such as pigments, aggregates, or accelerators.

The plaster is then troweled to create a smooth and even surface. This requires skill and experience to achieve the desired texture and finish.

After the plaster is applied, it needs time to cure. This usually takes several days and involves keeping the pool filled with water to prevent the plaster from cracking.

Once the plaster is fully cured, the pool can be filled with water and the startup process begins. This involves balancing the water chemistry and ensuring that the pool equipment is functioning properly.

The time it takes to complete a pool plastering project can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the pool, the extent of any repairs needed, and the weather conditions. In general, however, a pool plastering project can take anywhere from one to two weeks to complete.

The cost of pool plastering can vary depending on several factors such as the size and shape of the pool, the type of plaster used, and the extent of any repairs needed. On average, the cost of pool plastering can range from $5,000 to $10,000 or more.

It all depends on the aesthetic results you’re going for! When deciding on the appropriate color for your swimming pool, we take a number of factors into account, including the design and color of the pool deck, the elements of your garden and patio, LED lighting, sun exposure, and more. Hawaiian Blue, Tahoe Blue, and Azure are three hues that are very popular in Virginia and Maryland from a popularity aspect!

There are several types of pool plaster materials available, including traditional white plaster, quartz aggregate plaster, pebble plaster, and colored plaster. Traditional white plaster is the most affordable option, but it may need to be resurfaced every 5-10 years. Quartz and pebble plaster are more durable and resistant to staining and chemical damage, but they can be more expensive. Colored plaster is available in a variety of hues and can add visual interest to your pool.
