Traditional, Marble & Pre-Blended Plaster

The Classic Pool Finish

Traditional pool plaster, made from white cement and finely ground marble or limestone, has been the standard pool finish for decades. It gives a clean, bright look and is usually the most affordable option.

Plaster can also be tinted for gray or blue tones, and some finishes use polished marble for a smoother, more refined surface. Pre-blended plaster products come premixed for consistent results.

Islander Pool & Spa installs pool plaster and offers a large selection, including white and colored plaster, polished marble finishes, and pre-blended plaster in a range of colors.

Traditional Plaster Options

White Plaster

White plaster gives the classic bright, light blue water look. It is smooth and affordable, though it tends to show stains and wear sooner than quartz or aggregate finishes. Good water care helps it last.

Colored Plaster

Adding pigment to plaster creates gray, blue, or darker tones that deepen the water color. Colored plaster can show some natural variation in shade, which many owners like. Ask us about the colors available.

Polished Marble and Pre-Blended Products

Polished marble finishes use marble aggregate for a smoother, refined surface. Pre-blended plaster comes premixed and bagged for consistent batches. We offer both; compare samples in our showroom.

Is white plaster still a good choice?

For many pools, yes. White plaster is usually the most affordable finish and gives a classic look. It may need replastering sooner than quartz or aggregate finishes, so it is worth weighing upfront cost against how long you plan to keep the finish.

What is pre-blended plaster?

Pre-blended plaster comes premixed with the cement, aggregate, and other components, so each batch is consistent. We carry pre-blended plaster in a range of colors.
