Can You Apply Polished Plaster to Bathrooms and Shower Areas?

Polished plaster is a beautiful and durable finish that can add a luxurious touch to any interior space. But is it suitable for bathrooms, wet rooms, and shower areas? The answer is yes, provided the right type of plaster is used and it is properly sealed.

At Surfaceform, we offer specialist plaster finishes specifically designed for wet environments. Unlike standard polished plaster, which is not naturally waterproof, our Hydrocement, Tadelakt, and wet room microcement plaster provide high levels of water resistance, making them ideal for moisture-exposed areas.

Surfaceform Plaster Options for Wet Rooms & Moisture-Exposed Areas

✔ Hydrocement – A smooth, matt mineral-based finish composed of quartz, marble, cement, and hydrorepellent additives. It prevents water penetration and offers a stain-free surface, making it perfect for shower walls, shower trays, bathrooms, and saunas.

✔ Tadelakt – A traditional lime-based plaster that delivers a smooth, satin finish with natural character. Thanks to a unique polishing and soap-finishing technique, it is highly water-resistant while remaining breathable. Ideal for bathrooms, shower walls, kitchens, and steam rooms, Tadelakt requires re-sealing over time to maintain its durability.

✔ Wet Room Micro cement Plaster – A specialist micro cement finish designed for high-moisture environments. With seamless application, it provides a modern, waterproof surface that is easy to clean and maintain.

All these finishes are expertly crafted to provide mould and mildew resistance while maintaining breathability, ensuring a long-lasting and practical surface in wet environments.
