Pool Plastering Services

Successful swimming pool construction and maintenance relies on a pool plastered with dependable products that offer superior value and longevity. Using the correct application techniques during initial installation prevents leaks by providing a watertight seal.

Your pool's plaster is also part of an enjoyable overall swimming experience. When it's smooth, it prevents abrasions and injuries that usually occur when swimmers rub up against or walk on rough or uneven surfaces. While fresh plaster increases your pool's aesthetic appeal, it also protects your pool structure by providing a protective barrier between pool water and the underlying concrete or gunite structure.

Should a Pool Renovation Include Replastering?

A pool renovation often includes more than just refreshing the design. The goal is to improve functionality, safety, and aesthetics. Replastering can certainly play a role in this process by restoring your pool’s surface to a smooth, watertight, visually appealing finish.

One reason to include replastering in your renovation is to address surface wear and damage. Cracks, discoloration, or rough patches result from years of chemical imbalances or general wear and tear. Replastering will have a restorative effect on both the appearance and integrity of your pool.

Here are some others to replaster during a renovation:

• Upgrading to modern finishes: Replace outdated plaster with our NPT finishes for improved aesthetics and durability.
• Correcting surface imperfections: Address uneven surfaces or pitting that may have developed over time.
• Resurfacing after structural repairs: If structural issues were addressed during the renovation, replastering ensures a cohesive finish.
• Customizing color and texture: Choose unique colors or textures to match a new design theme or outdoor aesthetic.

What To Expect During Professional Pool Refinishing

Our pool refinishing process starts with a consultation to help you select the perfect finish. As a certified installer of NPT materials, we can guide you through the options, from vibrant quartz-based finishes to natural stone textures. Each choice is tailored to your pool’s design and your aesthetic preferences.

Once you choose a finish and your pool is prepared, we can apply your selected material. This involves carefully troweling the finish onto your pool’s surface, ensuring even coverage. We typically start from the deep end, compacting the material to create a smooth finish that adheres perfectly to the shell.

Your pool then needs to be filled with water to ensure the surface remains wet during the curing process. This constant hydration prevents cracking, shrinking, or uneven curing. Once the curing period is complete, we follow up to ensure your finish is properly set and ready for regular use.

How Do You Prepare for Pool Plaster Installation?

If you feel comfortable tackling the process, you can drain your pool to prepare for pool plaster installation. Don't worry. If you feel unequipped for the task, we'll handle this step upon request.

The next step is to remove algae, dirt, and any remaining contaminants that could prevent a flawless plaster application.

After removing fixtures and accessories and prepping your pool's surface with a bonding agent, we begin our plastering work.

Which Pool Plaster Types Offer the Best Value?

We're a certified installer of NPT pool plaster materials, including:

• NPT Colorscapes: Available in a wide range of colors that provide excellent coverage and consistency.
• NPT Quartzscapes: Integrates natural quartz aggregates with fortified white cement and a variety of colored pigments.
• NPT Stonescapes: Combines natural stone aggregates with cement and colored pigments to create a durable, textured, visually appealing pool finish.

What’s the Most Durable Pool Finish?

All of the NPT materials we use are durable. Natural quartz in QuartzScapes is harder than marble, providing superior resistance to wear and chemical exposure. StoneScapes’ natural stone aggregates add strength, while their textured surface minimizes surface damage.

ColorScapes and QuartzScapes incorporate high-quality pigment formulations and colored ceramic-coated quartz crystals, ensuring fade resistance and vibrant, long-lasting color. These materials are specifically engineered to withstand the demands of pool environments.

How Often Should You Replaster Your Pool?

With a proper maintenance schedule, NPT plaster products promise a lifespan of 15 to 20 years.

Consider having your pool replastered sooner when you notice any of the following pool plaster problems:

• Cracks
• Blistering
• Soft spots
