Swimming pool resurfacing might sound overwhelming, but this does not have to be the case. The costs associated with pool resurfacing vary since pools are not all alike. The size of the pool, its shape, and the finish used are all factors that affect the cost of pool resurfacing. 

Pool owners mistakenly believe that it is possible to resurface a pool yourself. However, that can be quite a massive risk, especially for people who havent done such projects before. Fixing mistakes that result from inexperience may end up costing more money than if you had simply used a pool resurfacing professional from the start. 

Even if you excellently DIY your pool resurfacing, it likely won’t look quite as good as if you had used a professional. That’s why we always recommend hiring a professional pool resurfacing service in Dallas, Texas, for the best results. 

A Dallas Pool Resurfacing contractor can repair, remodel, or resurface any existing spa or pool. Whether you want retiling or re-plastering, new decking, plumbing, or updated energy-efficient equipment, you can be sure we are ready to help. 

Pool resurfacing cost in Dallas, Texas

The unfortunate reality is that with limited knowledge of your pool, it is close to impossible to come up with a decent cost estimate. However, plaster will obviously be your cheapest option. It has the shortest service life, but it still helps add to the value of your property. 

If you have issues with your electrical, plumbing, or other equipment, you can expect higher costs. Also, depending on whether the craftsmanship is poor, the pool’s age, and your desired options, the price will vary. If you want upgrades or replacements in your plumbing system, this will add to the overall cost of the project. You can think of these things as the transmission and engine of a 20-year-old vehicle. A new interior and paint job will be great, but it is essential to deal with issues that may cause problems later. 

Keep in mind that we offer a free, on-site consultation, regardless of the finish you want. We are also more than happy to provide you with a free, no-obligation quote. 

What finishes are available for my pool?

The pool resurfacing options below are guaranteed to give you many years of excellent performance and natural beauty in any well-maintained pool. The following will help you understand the strengths and weaknesses and of each. 

Here are 3 of the most popular finishes: 

– Diamond Brite: It is a mixture of a polymer-modified cement in an aggregate of Quartz crystals. 

– Glass Tiles: It is quite a popular option because of its incredible durability and stunning beauty 

– Pebble Aggregate: It is available in many options, including PebbleSheeenPebbleTecHydrazzo, and BeadCrete. 

Diamond brite

Diamond Brite is a fine pool finish that’s easy to maintain, pleasing to the eye, and durable. It is permeated with stunning natural quartz crystals. Quartz is one of the purest and hardest minerals on 

Earth. The quartz aggregates are combined with non-fading Quartz crystals and polymer cement, creating an impressive gamut of colors. 

Diamond Brite is not only impervious to the sun’s UV rays but also the harsh pool chemicals. The strength of natural quartz resists etching and stains. Unlike plaster pools, you can drain Diamond Brite pools without causing any damage. Diamond Brite is available in 17 different colors. Each color reflects the sky, water, and surroundings in a unique way. 

Glass tiles

Glass Tiles add incredible beauty to swimming pools, and they come in many different colors, finishes, and shapes.  They can add elegance and class to any pool. Also, glass tiles offer the most durability. They can be installed in a pool’s edges and steps, waterline, sun shelf, water walls,  interior, or outer walls. 

Glass is an excellent option for a pool tile because it refracts sunlight and reflects the water’s movement. However, glass tile installation is more labor-intensive, which usually translates to higher overall costs. Still, the results are amazing. 

Pebble aggregate

A pebble finish is referred to as an aggregate finish in the industry. One mistake that people in the industry make is referring to a pebble pool finish as “Pebble-Tec” since that’s just one brand out of many. 

Pebble-Tec is widely recognized in the industry since it was the first company to patent the specific process. Still, as in the case of quartz finishes, there are several manufacturers of pebble aggregate finishes. 

A pebble finish is attained, much like a quartz finish is achieved. Small polished stones are added to the plaster mix before they are troweled by hand onto the granite surface. All pebble finishes have a mottled or marbled appearance to some extent since they are made mostly of natural stone. Still, you will never find two identical pools. 

You will also come across exposed aggregate finishes that use larger river rock stone instead of the smaller quartz gems and stone. Pebble Tec and Crystal Stone are some of the most popular brands. They give the pool a distinct look when compared with the quartz products. 

We use only the highest quality finishes currently available in the market. Doing this ensures that your pool is not only beautiful but will be durable and reliable for a long time to come. We offer the latest by Pebble Tec, Pebble Fina, and Pebble Sheen. 

It is essential to consider the effect of color on your choice. If colored Diamond Brite is applied in lighter shades, it can make your pool water appear blue. Darker and medium colors will have a totally different effect. Another exciting way to enhance your pool’s appearance would be to install underwater lighting. 

The differences between pebble sheen and pebble tec

Pebble Tec consists of small river pebbles that are mixed with Portland cement and dye. There are numerous styles and colors that you can choose from. The colors range from white to dark blue to black. Pebble Tec adds elegance and class to your pool and is a dependable and durable finish. Its surface is naturally non-slip, and since it is made of stone, it tends to be incredibly resistant to less than ideal water conditions. 

Pebble Sheen uses a high density of smaller pebbles than Pebble Tec. Each pebble measures about 1 to 2 mm and results in a surface as durable as Pebble Tec. The surface will resemble the look of a granite countertop and is available in 16 colors. 

A brief summary of pool resurfacing

Selecting the type of concrete overlay to be used is the first step in resurfacing a pool deck. We know there are a lot of choices, and we are here to help when needed. The proper surface should have a non-skid element and be made of materials that resist the chemicals typically used in pools while also looking good. Still, functionality and safety have to come first. But, with so many options, that wont be a problem. 

The existing deck surface and the pool have to be prepared before the resurfacing job begins. The deck should be thoroughly cleaned, and any divots or cracks need to be repaired using a concrete resurfacer if they are superficial. If the cracks go all the way through the deck, the concrete may need to be replaced entirely. The pool is usually covered or drained completely to protect the pool system from the resurfacing process’s materials. 

The old plaster from the drains, inlets, tile, and lights is removed to allow the new finish to go on evenly. Any paint should be removed by water or sandblasting, which can take 1 or 2 days. A bond coat is then applied to the pool to prepare it for the new plaster. The entire prep and plaster time can take 3 to 4 days. Once the pool has been plastered, it should then be filled with clean water with a low mineral and metal content. 

Proper maintenance of your pool is critical

It also helps keep leaves and other kinds of dirt and debris out of the pool, thus allowing the pump to work normally instead of being overworked and clogged by leaves.

Here are the steps followed when resurfacing your pool

  1. Draining

We first access your pool’s central pump system and switch it over to the “backwash” or “drain” setting. We make use of a submersible pump in some instances to remove the water from the pool. Pool resurfacing cannot start unless the pool is completely emptied and dried. During draining, we direct the runoff water to an area where it will not cause oversaturation, flooding, or any other complication. It may take several hours to drain your pool, but this will depend on its size. 

  1. Preparation

Once we have emptied all the water out of the pool and it is completely dry, we will check for crumbling, cracks, blistering, and other deterioration. Such marks are indicative of a more immediate issue with either the pool’s plumbing or in-ground foundation. We also use tarps to cover the pool area to keep it clean while sandblasting is underway. 

Fiberglass, plaster, and composite finishes need to be sandblasted or even chiseled away to the underlying concrete to better hold the new material. Sandblasting etches the existing surface and makes it sufficiently rough for bonding, but smoother than if it was chipped out. 

  1. Cement and Masonry Tiles

High-end pools typically have an impressive look when resurfaced with ceramic tile, quartz, or pebble concrete. Such materials offer a durable lining that resists stains, algae, and chemical-related damage. 

Our tile professionals are experienced in pool applications that are different from interior tile installationWe use different applications because your pool tile will be continually exposed to chemicals, outside elements, and water. This step usually takes 2 to 3 days, while masonry usually takes 24 to 48 hours. 

  1. Plumbing Inspection

We then undertake a complete inspection of your pool’s plumbing system and pump. We will be checking for any leaks, whether hidden or obvious. We also test the resiliency of any plastic parts and components. The process typically takes 1 full day. 

  1. Acid Wash and the Application of Pool Finish

Acid etching is needed on bare masonry surfaces such as plaster or concrete. It is also useful for removing chalky residue and hard mineral deposits on a previously coated pool. Acid washing helps to open up millions of tiny holes that allow for the penetration of the subsequent coating. This ensures a secure, cohesive bond. 

The acid and drain wash is primarily used to get rid of the scale, stains, and calcium from your pool bed’s corners and floor. After the acid wash, you should completely neutralize the acid using an alkaline soda ash solution. 

The concrete is cleaned using a mixture of muriatic acid and water. Muriatic acid produces harmful fumes and burns on the skin. Still, we have safety equipment that’s rated to protect our technicians from its effects. 

  1. Filling the Pool and Cleaning Up

When refilling your pool, we spend several hours doing a thorough, final cleanup of the whole pool area. Then, we inspect to ensure no trace of dirt or dust is left behind at the end of each workday. We will also perform a final inspection during this time. 

  1. Initial Water Treatment

The initial water treatment is perhaps the most crucial action we perform to ensure that the pool retains its appearance and the new surface material’s life. Once the pool is filled with water, a sequence of treatments is necessary to cure the surface area as thoroughly as possible. 

Close monitoring and service are critical throughout the first 7 days of the pool treatment. Of course, you can choose to have your own pool man do this, and we will be happy to consult with him to ensure that it is appropriately done. 

Otherwise, you can always trust our team of experienced professionals at Dallas Pool Resurfacing & Plastering to do the initial water treatment procedure.
