If you need marble plaster swimming pools near you, Trademen Pools can help. We handle a marbelite or plaster pool finish that has gone rough, stained, cracked or chalky for homes and businesses across the whole of Gauteng — including Johannesburg, the East and West Rand, Centurion and Pretoria, where we work across a wide range of Gauteng ground conditions, from dolomitic West Rand soil to established East Rand suburbs.
Marble-plaster is the classic South African pool finish — a white-cement and marble-aggregate plaster that gives that familiar smooth, bright look.
Because we work right across Gauteng regularly — homes and businesses across the whole of Gauteng — including Johannesburg, the East and West Rand, Centurion and Pretoria — we know what these pools need and quote accordingly.
When marbelite needs renewing
- Rough, chalky surface — the plaster has eroded and feels harsh on feet
- Staining & discolouration — mineral and algae stains the brush won’t shift
- Cracking & hollow spots — areas where the marbelite has lifted off the shell
- Constant chemical battles — a porous, worn surface that keeps going green
- Traditional white-cement and marble-aggregate plaster finish
Cost & timeline
A full re-marbelite is priced by pool size and the amount of crack repair needed. It’s typically more affordable upfront than fibreglass, and we quote after inspecting the shell. Either way, you get a clear, fair price for the work in your area — no surprises.
Our re-marbelite process
- Drain and chip out the failed marbelite back to a sound shell
- Repair structural cracks and key the surface for adhesion
- Apply fresh marbelite (white-cement and marble-aggregate plaster) by hand
- Trowel to a smooth, even finish and cure correctly
- Acid-wash, refill and balance the water
Marbelite is a cement-based marble-aggregate plaster — a classic, cost-effective finish. Correct curing and water balancing in the first weeks is what makes it last, so we guide you through the start-up.

Marble Plaster Swimming Pools FAQs
How long does marbelite last?
With correct start-up and balanced water, a quality re-marbelite typically lasts many years before it needs renewing.
What is marble plaster made of?
A blend of white cement and crushed marble aggregate, trowelled on by hand and cured for a smooth, durable surface.
Marbelite or fibreglass — which should I choose?
Marbelite gives a classic look at a lower upfront cost but is more porous; fibreglass is smoother and lower-maintenance. We’ll recommend the right one for your pool and budget.
How soon can I swim after re-marbeliting?
After curing, refilling and a few days of careful water balancing. We’ll give you a clear start-up schedule.
