Yes, you can Venetian Plaster your shower instead of tile or fiberglass. Shower stalls are exactly like doing exteriors, except you have a few more options when it comes to backing. The only limitation we have is the shower floor, or any floors for that matter. Please see the application description in exteriors for some more ideas. Plaster is much cheaper than tile, and in most cases looks much better.
So, the best way to do it is to mud the walls (lathe and cement), 2 coats of Marmorino (and sealed) or add another 2 coats of Veneziano for a super slick look (and then sealer). The thicker the walls, the better the durability and moisture build up resistance.
The edges of the shower, where the venetian plaster stops against the walls, and where the plaster meets the floors are the most important parts. We will not advise exactly how to do this because as on exteriors, we recommend professional installation. Basically, prep the shower walls the same exact way you would if you were going to tile it. Remember that the floor is most likely going to move independently from the walls, so make sure that it’s done however a professional would do it. There are also many books and online resources that should help you do it yourself.
Always seal shower stalls. We recommend ‘Miracle Sealants Impregnator Porous Plus’ it’s expensive stuff, but goes along way and you have to reseal it about every 5 years. There are many other sealers on the market. Make sure that they are rated for exteriors and that they don’t change the color of the venetian plaster and don’t have a plastic-like sheen.
