In this blog post, we will go over what pool resurfacing is and how you can improve your pool’s appearance in a way that will add value to your home. 

There’s no doubt about it, a pool adds value to a home. From cookouts to pool parties, a pool adds to your everyday life. You are the life of the neighboorhood because of your pool. Everyone comes over, making your home the central hub of your life, and your kid’s lives, too. There’s nothing better than celebrating a nice holiday beside the pool. Relaxing after a long day by the pool. 

But, over time, a pool will age, like all things, and there will come a time where, worn by use, the pool will need some minor repairs. One of the more common needs of a pool after a short time is resurfacing. So, what is residential pool resurfacing, anyway? Let me explain.

What is Pool Resurfacing?

Pool Resurfacing relates to the addition of a cement-like finish to the surface of a pool. This finish can also be used for either aesthetic or artistic purposes to make the pool look cool but—it also is beneficial to the overall health and longevity of your pool. It can add tremendous worth to your pool.

When it comes to pool resurfacing applications, you have a large variety to choose from—from texture, color, cost, and strength. So it’s very important to think about the pros and cons of each surface before you decide which one you’ll go with for your pool.

Some popular surfaces: white plaster, colored plaster, quartz, pebble, tiles, and more.

How Does Residential Pool Resurfacing Work?

Here’s a rundown of how pool resurfacing works. 

  • Drain: the process begins by draining the pool of all water. 
  • Prep pool: this process we will remove the old and damaged surfaces. 
  • Tile and masonry: we will install tiles.
  • Plumping and seal: to ensure that the pool is watertight, we will seal it. 
  • Pool finish: we will install the pool surface finish materials. 
  • Cleanup: we will clean the pool area.
  • Refill: we will refill the pool for you. 
  • Water treatment and curing: regular monitoring throughout the primary week of the process. 

Many of these steps are contingent on several factors. There may be additional steps in the process, but that’s dependent on what finishes you picked. 

So how often does a pool need to be resurfaced? This is entirely contingent on the type of applications that were used to surface the pool in the first place. Here is a rundown based on the applications used:  

  • White plaster: 5-15 years
  • Quartz: 10+ years
  •  Pebble: 15 + years

Signs that indicate that your pool needs resurfacing can vary. Here are a few:  stains, rough textures, and leaks. If you happen to notice any of these signs, it’s time to call a professional.
