Searching for marbelite finish repair near you? Trademen Pools works with 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. Gauteng’s high-altitude UV and dramatic summer hailstorms are hard on every pool finish, wherever you are. We give honest advice, fair pricing and workmanship we stand behind.
Marbelite repair tackles the rough, stained and hollow patches in a marble-plaster finish, re-keying and re-plastering so the surface is smooth and sealed again.
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
- Patch and re-plaster of rough, stained or hollow marbelite areas
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.

Marbelite Finish Repair FAQs
Can marbelite be patched, or must the whole pool be redone?
Small areas can be patched, but for an even colour and finish a full re-marbelite usually looks far better. We advise per pool.
How long does marbelite last?
With correct start-up and balanced water, a quality re-marbelite typically lasts many years before it needs renewing.
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.
