Pool and Spa Plaster and Resurfacing
StandardPlaster
- Standard white plaster is the most common surface seen in pools today. This is primarily because when most pools were built the other surfaces did not exist.
- Pros:
- Least expensive of all surfaces.
- Smooth surface
- Works will with contemporary architecture
- Cons
- Color dulls as it ages (can acid wash 2-3x to rejuvenate color)
- Mottles / Stains over time
- Becomes rough, can chip/flake over time
ColoredPlaster
- A less expensive option for color than pebble, quartz, or hydrazzo
- Colored plaster is similar to plaster except it has color
- Typically 20-30% addition in cost
- Pros:
- Offers a uniqueness in color that white plaster cannot
- Less expensive than Pebble or other colored options
- Cons
- Colored plaster will mottle / change colors in different areas
- Will not stay a consistent solid color – it will mottle, “marbleize”

Quartz
- Quartz is an aggregate composition similar to a pebble application. Finer aggregate rocks than the pebble.
- Pros
- Many color options
- More durable than plaster
- Cons

100%Quartz Aggregate
- Instead of just adding quartz to the plaster mixture you can have your surface be 100% quartz. This aggregate composition is similar to a pebble application whereas the quartz additive is still a plaster mixture.
- Quartz can come in a larger type mixture or very small mixture. The larger quartz is closer to that of pebble, where as the fine quartz mixture is more like a standard plaster finish.
