Professional Gunite Plastering for Long-Lasting Pool Interiors
A High-Strength Application Method Designed for Superior Bonding and Durability
Homeowners considering gunite plastering are looking for a strong, reliable interior finish that adheres exceptionally well to gunite shells. Gunite pools are known for their structural integrity, and the plaster used to finish them must be applied with precision to ensure a smooth, durable surface. Gunite plastering helps create a clean, comfortable interior while protecting the underlying shell for many years of use.
At Beachfront Pool Service, we specialize in gunite plastering techniques that deliver exceptional results and long-term performance.
Why Gunite Plastering Is a Superior Application Method
Gunite plastering offers excellent bonding strength, ensuring the finish adheres securely to the gunite shell. This method is ideal for new pool construction as well as resurfacing projects, providing a smooth, attractive appearance and improved longevity. Because gunite shells are porous, high-quality plastering helps seal the surface, resist chemical wear, and create a watertight interior.
Homeowners value the durability, comfort, and clean aesthetic that gunite plastering provides.
What Gunite Plastering Typically Includes
Gunite plastering begins with draining the pool, preparing the existing interior surface, and performing necessary repairs. Then, a carefully mixed plaster blend—white or colored—is applied by hand to achieve a smooth, even finish. Because gunite requires strong bonding, each step of preparation and application is essential to long-term success.
We guide you through plaster color options and finish types to match your pool design.
How Beachfront Pool Service Performs Gunite Plastering
Our technicians follow industry-standard plastering practices designed specifically for gunite pools. After evaluating the shell, we remove loose material, apply bonding agents where needed, and hand-trowel the plaster mixture to achieve a consistent interior finish. Once completed, the pool is filled, and our team initiates the startup process to protect the new plaster.
Our commitment to craftsmanship ensures a smooth, durable, and beautiful gunite interior.
Understanding Timeline and Expectations
Gunite plastering typically takes several days, depending on prep work, surface condition, and curing requirements. The initial startup phase is especially important for preventing discoloration or surface etching. We provide clear instructions and ongoing support to help you maintain the finish throughout the curing period.
Once finished, your gunite pool will feature a refreshed, inviting interior that enhances your entire outdoor space.
How Proper Maintenance Extends Your Gunite Plaster Finish
Gunite plastering requires consistent water chemistry, brushing during startup, and routine care to preserve its color and texture. Because plaster is a natural material, balanced pool water prevents premature wear or etching and helps maintain a smooth surface for years.
We provide detailed maintenance guidelines to ensure long-term performance of your gunite finish.
