What Is Pool Plastering?

Pool plastering is the final layer applied to the interior surface of a concrete or gunite pool. It creates a watertight seal and smooth finish on the pool shell while also contributing to the pool design and overall appearance. Over time, exposure to chemicals, UV rays, and daily use can cause your plaster to fade, flake, or crack.

Replastering your pool restores its surface, prevents further damage, and enhances your pool’s visual appeal. Whether you want a clean white finish or a custom-colored quartz blend, plastering is a cost-effective investment to maintain your pool and spa’s value and function.

Signs You Need Pool Replastering

If you’re wondering whether it’s time to replaster your existing pool, here are the most common signs to watch for:

  • Rough or pitted surfaces that feel abrasive on feet or swimsuits
  • Stains or discoloration that don’t respond to cleaning
  • Chalking or flaking of the plaster coat
  • Cracks or peeling along the pool walls or floor
  • Loss of sparkle or dull water appearance

If any of these apply to your pool, it’s time to schedule a professional assessment from Blue Star Pools.
