Marble Effect Plastering in Bishopsworth, Bristol

Marble effect plastering in Bishopsworth, Bristol. The veining and depth of a marble slab, worked into polished plaster by hand, without the weight, the joints or the cost of real stone.

The Look of Real Marble Without the Slabs

Real marble comes in slabs, which means joints, weight and a big bill. Marble effect plaster gives you the same soft veined look across a whole wall with no seams anywhere. It is light enough to go on any sound wall, and it can run around corners and into recesses where a slab could not.

Choosing Colours and Veining

The base colour and the vein colour are chosen separately, so you can go from soft white and grey through to darker green or black veining. How heavy the veins are is up to you. We usually make a sample board first so you can hold it up in the room and see it in your own light.

Where Marble Effect Works Best

Bathrooms, en suites and hallways are the most popular, along with the wall behind a bath or a bed. Sealed properly it copes with steam and splashes. In a small room it works better on one wall than all four, because the veining is busy and needs plain walls beside it to sit against.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can marble effect plastering be used in a Bristol bathroom?

Yes, as long as it is sealed. Once sealed the surface sheds water and copes with steam, which makes it a good choice for bathrooms and en suites. Inside a shower enclosure it needs a specialist sealer and a properly tanked wall behind it, and we would talk that through before quoting.

How do you clean marble effect plaster?

A damp cloth and warm water is all it needs. Keep bleach and anything acidic away from it, because the surface is lime based and strong cleaners will dull the polish. In a bathroom, wiping the wall down after a shower keeps limescale from building up on the sealed surface.

Can you match marble effect plaster to a tile or worktop?

Usually, yes. Bring us a sample of the tile, worktop or floor and we will mix the base and vein colours to sit alongside it. It will never be an exact copy, since the veins are drawn by hand, but it can be made close enough that the two read as part of the same scheme.
