The Process of Plastering a Pool

Pre-Plaster Inspection
Every plastering project starts with a pre-plaster inspection. During this inspection, we get a feel for the current condition of your pool, what needs to be done, and a more detailed breakdown of what you can expect. Typically, the pool will be plastered within 48 hours of the completed pre-plaster inspection.
Removal of Existing Plaster
The next step of the replastering pool renovation process is to remove the existing plaster or pool finish. This process is done with a diamond masonry blade. Then, if new pool tile is part of the requested pool renovation services, the existing tile is removed. Once the bulk of the plaster is removed and the tile is prepared, we inspect the loose plaster and determine whether or not we need to cut further down to the gunite or bond-coat the pool surface.
Complete Removal or Bond Coating
If your pool’s plaster is in good shape, then the bond coating will be a good solution for you. If the plaster is in suboptimal condition, the complete removal of the plaster down to the gunite will be necessary. In cases of complete removal down to the gunite, Express Pool Plastering and Repairs will clean up and haul away any extra waste and materials.
Careful and Consistent Filling
Finally, the pool and spa are carefully filled up in a way that no plaster makes it into your pool plumbing! Filling a pool with a hose typically takes about 24 hours.
