What is pool plaster?
Plaster is the “skin” or surface that separates the pool water from the concrete pool shell. It creates a smooth surface and provides a watertight seal between the water and the rough shell beneath. Plaster is often a mix of Portland cement, limestone sand, and water.
It’s been around since people first started building pools and remains a popular, timeless choice for the surface of your pool. Deciding on the color or subsequent replacement is an important part of any pool remodeling project. Popular choices instead of plaster include tile or aggregate stone. Tile can effortlessly meld into the tile coping while aggregate is smooth and provides a textured look.

When’s the best time to replaster my pool?
We recommend replastering your pool every 10 years, though you can do it whenever you’re ready for a change. Pool plaster typically lasts 7-12 years, depending on use, chemicals, and climate. If you start seeing cracks or wear, it’s better to replaster than to attempt repairs, as damage can lead to bacteria or other issues.
If you’re tired of the same look, replastering is a great way to refresh your pool. Whether you stick with the same color or change it up, you’ll notice a big difference. JR Pool Plastering & Texas Gunite Ltd. is here to help with all your pool remodeling needs.

Where Should I Start with Remodeling My Pool?
Start by considering the size of your project. Even small changes, like replastering or changing the plaster color, can transform your pool’s look. While replastering, you can also think about other updates you’d like to make.
