How Much Does Polished Plaster Cost?

Polished plaster costs around £40 to £100 per m², depending on the complexity of the finish and the surface area. Various types of polished plaster, such as Venetian, Marmorino, and Tadelakt, each have unique characteristics and cost implications.

The existing surface condition, whether it requires repairs or levelling, can affect the final price. Additional decorative elements, like stencilling or custom textures, may add to the expense.

Projects involving larger areas may benefit from economies of scale, reducing the per-square-metre cost. Installation timeframes can vary; typically, a skilled artisan may take around two to three days for a medium-sized room.

What Types of Polished Plaster Are Available?

We offer a range of polished plaster types to suit various styles and preferences. Each type has unique characteristics and applications:

• Venetian Plaster: A smooth, marble-like finish popular for its high shine. This plaster is often composed of lime putty mixed with marble dust, allowing for a versatile finish perfect for modern and classic interiors alike. It can be applied in layers to create a deep, lustrous effect over time.

• Marmorino: Known for its textured, stone-like appearance, suitable for a rustic look. Marmorino consists of lime and crushed marble, making it an ideal choice for adding an elegant yet robust texture to walls and ceilings. It can be polished to achieve a mild sheen, enhancing its stone-like quality.

• Travertine: Offers a refined, natural stone finish with subtle textures. Travertine plaster mimics the appearance of its namesake stone by incorporating natural pigments and aggregates. It works well in environments aiming for an organic and timeless feel, blending seamlessly with a variety of décor.

Our team at Ornate Plastering can help you select the perfect finish for your space based on your aesthetic goals and practical requirements.

How Long Does Polished Plastering Take?

The application of polished plaster typically takes two to five days, depending on the project size and complexity. Smaller areas like residential bathrooms may be completed quickly, while larger commercial projects in offices or retail spaces can take additional time.

Each layer, often comprising a base coat, several intermediate coats, and a final burnishing layer, requires proper drying time to achieve the desired finish. We use trowels and spatulas to apply Marmorino, Venetian plaster or other types of polished plaster depending on texture and sheen required.

The drying process involves allowing each layer to sit for 12 to 24 hours before the next application. Once the final product is sealed, it is ready for use shortly after completion.
