Expert Swimming Pool Resurfacing & Restoration
What is Pool Resurfacing?
Pool resurfacing or refinishing can restore your pool to its original appearance. The process involves removing and replacing your pool’s existing finish or top surface layer, which will improve its lifespan.
How Often Does a Pool Need to be Resurfaced?
How often a pool needs to be resurfaced depends on the type of pool, the harsh environment, and the amount of use. However, in general, most pools need resurfacing every eight to ten years. If you’re unsure if your pool needs resurfacing, a pool inspection from a pool service company can identify whether it needs resurfacing or any other swimming pool maintenance or repairs.
Pool Resurfacing Options
Plaster
Plaster is a durable, highly functional, and affordable pool resurfacing material, which makes it one of the most commonly used materials for swimming pool resurfacing. Plaster is available in a variety of colors and designs.
Quartz
A quartz pool surface combines polymer-modified cement with quartz aggregate, which gives it strength and water resistance. Quartz surfaces also give your pool a stain-resistant finish and are available in a variety of colors and color combinations.
Pebble
Pebble surfaces are made of smooth stones and round aggregates layered in cement. They give pool owners diverse color combinations to choose from. Pebble is incredibly durable and has an average lifespan of 15 to 20 years.
What are the Steps to Resurface a Swimming Pool?
Knowing the main steps to resurface a swimming pool can help you understand the process and what to expect.
- Draining the Water
Your pool must be properly drained before any work can begin. If the area where you live requires any specifications for water drainage, you must follow them.
- Prepping the Pool
Once your pool has been drained, its surface needs to be cleaned and prepared. All debris, such as leaves and dirt, should be removed. Rust stains or other discolorations should be addressed, and any necessary patching of minor cracks should be taken care of.
- Resurfacing
The resurfacing step starts with priming the pool’s surface. A primer, typically an epoxy primer, is applied to the entire surface of the pool and allowed to dry before the appropriate refinishing solution is applied. Your desired resurfacing solution will be applied in several coats or layers, and each layer must dry before the next is applied.
Swimming Pool Resurfacing Cost
Swimming pool resurfacing costs vary greatly and depend on the following factors:
- the size, shape, and condition of your swimming pool
- the surface area of your pool
- the resurfacing material you choose to use
- where you live
In general, depending on the resurfacing material you choose, you can expect to pay between $3 and $15 per square foot. To get a better idea of the cost, request a quote from Lone Star Pool Services.
