Trademen Pools provides white cement swimming pool finish near you, helping homes and businesses across the whole of Gauteng — including Johannesburg, the East and West Rand, Centurion and Pretoria with a marbelite or plaster pool finish that has gone rough, stained, cracked or chalky. Gauteng’s high-altitude UV and dramatic summer hailstorms are hard on every pool finish, wherever you are. Tell us about your pool and we’ll point you the right way.
A white-cement finish gives a bright, clean base colour and is the foundation of a quality marbelite job — mix and application quality is everything.
Our team knows your area pools well — homes and businesses across the whole of Gauteng — including Johannesburg, the East and West Rand, Centurion and Pretoria — so we tailor the work to the conditions here rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
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
- Quality white-cement base for a bright, even pool colour
Our approach to white cement swimming pool finish
- 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.

What does white cement swimming pool finish cost?
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.
White Cement Swimming Pool Finish FAQs
Does a white-cement finish stain easily?
Like all plaster finishes it needs balanced water; with correct chemistry it stays bright for years.
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.
