About Distinctive Plaster Finishes
Set up in 2020 by Richard Speller, Distinctive Plaster Finishes has become a leading provider of Venetian plastering, marble polished plaster, micro cement and liquid metal finishes. Over many years, Richard has honed his skills and technique to be able to create truly stunning finishes.
Using only authentic Venetian plaster systems and premium natural materials, Distinctive Plaster Finishes can create stunning wall finishes ranging from soft, subtle textures to highly polished mirror-like surfaces. Unlike standard paint finishes, our decorative plasters provide movement, character, and a natural stone appearance that transforms any interior.
We also specialise in liquid metal applications, producing striking feature walls, decorative panels, and artisan pieces that combine the beauty of real metal with the versatility of modern surface design.



Authentic Venetian Plaster
Our Venetian plaster finishes are created using genuine lime-based products that deliver depth, movement, and a luxurious appearance. By varying the application technique and marble grain size, we can achieve finishes ranging from smooth, polished surfaces to more textured and tactile designs.
Available finishes include:
-
High-gloss polished plaster
-
Soft sheen decorative finishes
-
Marble-effect surfaces
-
Textured feature walls

Contemporary and traditional finishes
Waxes and specialist sealers can be applied to enhance colour, sheen, and durability.
