If you have a marbelite or plaster pool finish that has gone rough, stained, cracked or chalky in Johannesburg, Trademen Pools can help. We work right across Johannesburg — from the northern suburbs, the south, the east, Roodepoort and Soweto — restoring pools to a smooth, watertight, lasting finish. Across Johannesburg’s many suburbs you’ll find everything from decades-old plaster pools to modern fibreglass shells, each with its own repair needs.
Re-marbeliting renews the entire plaster finish by hand, with correct curing and start-up water balancing being the key to making it last.
From the full spread of Joburg pools, from heritage homes to new builds, we’ve worked on pools like yours throughout Johannesburg, so the advice you get is grounded in local experience.
When marbelite needs renewing in Johannesburg
- 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
- Hand-applied re-marbelite with a guided start-up balancing schedule
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 Johannesburg — no surprises.
Our approach to swimming pool re marbelite
- 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.

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.
