Pool Plaster Finish Surface Options
Underwater plaster surfaces are available in smooth or textured finishes in a wide selection of colors. Light-colored finishes produce a stunning, Caribbean blue water effect, while dark-colored ones give water a darker appearance.
Although the most affordable option is traditional plaster made from white marble, cement and water, it is also the softest surface. According to the National Plasterers Council, chemicals in water can severely damage it. As a result, it’s often mixed with other materials that alter its composition to make it break down slower and resist water, such as pazzolans or silicone.
Many polished and light-to-heavy textured alternatives to traditional plaster also exist. These finishes contain materials, such as ceramic-coated quartz, polished marble and polished or natural river pebbles, that offer strength, water resistance and decorative benefits. A professional plasterer can also install a tile surface in one or more of a variety of colors and materials, or add pre-cut or custom-cut tile accents to other finishes.

Beyond the underwater surface, you will also need to choose a material for the above-water coping. Materials commonly used to create coping include concrete, brick, stone and tile. These materials can almost always be cast or cut, as applicable, to fit design preferences.

Pool Plaster Installation Overview
After you select a surface and design, your plasterer starts by cleaning the area. If this is a renovation project, he begins by shutting off electricity, draining the water and then hydroblasting away dirt and existing plaster. If necessary, he might acid wash away algae or hardened minerals with non-toxic chemicals before plaster removal. Afterwards, he then installs the new surface and coping.
Keep in mind, you don’t need to hire one company to work on every aspect of your project. You can save money by hiring different contractors to perform different tasks. Many times, professional plasterers are called to “finish the job.”
