Pool resurfacing is one of the most transformative upgrades you can make to your backyard. It not only restores your pool’s look but also extends its lifespan and improves overall safety. If you've been thinking about resurfacing your pool, here’s what to expect from start to finish.

1. Why Resurface a Pool?

Over time, your pool surface will deteriorate due to constant exposure to chemicals, UV rays, and water.

• Common Signs You Need Resurfacing:
  • Rough or pitted surfaces.
  • Stains and discoloration.
  • Peeling plaster or exposed gunite.
  • Frequent leaks or water level drops.

2. Choosing the Right Finish

There are several resurfacing options based on budget and aesthetics:

• Plaster: Economical and classic; typically white or light gray.
• Pebble Finish: Durable, slip-resistant, and comes in a variety of colors.
• Quartz Finish: Combines color and strength for a high-end look.
• Tile Finish: Custom and elegant but higher in cost.

3. Step-by-Step Resurfacing Process

a. Drain the Pool

• Safely remove all water using a submersible pump.

b. Surface Prep

• Chip out or sandblast the old surface.
• Repair any cracks, damage, or structural issues.

c. Apply the New Finish

• The chosen material is expertly applied to create a smooth, even layer.
• This step may involve multiple coats, curing, and smoothing.

d. Fill and Balance the Pool

• The pool is refilled, and chemicals are adjusted to safe levels.
• Brushing is done regularly for the first few days to settle the surface properly.

4. Timeline for Resurfacing

A typical pool resurfacing project takes:

• 5–7 Days Total:
  • 1–2 days for draining and prep.
  • 1–2 days for application.
  • 2–3 days for filling, curing, and chemical balancing.

5. How to Maintain Your New Surface

After resurfacing, proper care ensures long-term durability.

• Do:
  • Brush the new surface daily for the first 2 weeks.
  • Monitor chemical levels closely.
  • Schedule regular maintenance.
• Don’t:
  • Allow debris to accumulate.
  • Use metal tools that can scratch or stain the finish.
