swimming pool finishes

Plaster is also known by the names Marcite and Whitecoat. Plaster is durable and affordable, making it a popular choice for swimmingpools. White plaster will make your pool look neater. It is available in many colors to suit your needs.

While there are products available for DIY replastering (www.sidercrete.com has a kit that covers 60 sq.ft for $130), most DIY pool products are designed for smaller areas. A professional replastering job costs about $5/sq.ft. This is based on the national average calculated by homeadvisor.com. Plain plaster will cost about $5/sq.ft, while polished exposed aggregate plaster will run nearly twice as much.

Once the primer is dry, you can start painting the pool with the topcoat epoxy or resurfacing solution. Start painting from the deep to shallow, following the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations. Let the topcoat dry entirely before applying the next coat. In between coats, you should sand the pool to ensure the next layer adheres correctly. Most pools need between three to four coats. Depending on the climate, this might take a few hours or extend overnight.
