Our Services
We resurface a variety of different pools. Read more about them here.
Concrete Pools
Concrete pools start by being drained and receiving a thorough cleaning to remove stains and debris. Once the pool is clean, the surface is sandblasted to ensure the new material can adhere to it and the repair work can commence.
All cracks and damage are repaired and left to cure. A bonding agent is applied to ensure the new surface bonds to the pool surface.
The new surface is usually a mixture of plaster or a high-quality finish the client has selected. After this application has been applied, the surface cures over some time. Finally, the pool is refilled, and the water is chemically balanced before swimming can resume.
Pebble Pools
Similarly to Concrete, Pebble pools are also first drained and thoroughly cleaned to remove the debris and stains on the pool. Once the pool has been drained, it is carefully inspected and any cracks or damage in the surface.
The Pool surface is then sandblasted before any cracks and damage is repaired. The reason for the sandblasting is to ensure good adhesion for the new layer of Pebble to be added. A bonding agent is then applied to ensure the new pebble surface bonds correctly. The new pebble surface is typically a mix of pebbles and cement or resin and is applied evenly over the pool’s surface.
After the application, the surface is smoothed out and allowed to cure for a specified time. Once cured, the pool is refilled and chemicals are added to the pool. The pool’s chemistry needs to be balanced before it can be used.
Fiberglass Pools
Resurfacing fiberglass pools begins with draining the pool and thoroughly cleaning the fiberglass surface. This is to remove debris, algae, and stains from the fiberglass surface.
The surface is lightly sanded to create a rough texture that promotes adhesion with the new fiberglass treatment. Any damage or cracks in the surface is repaired with fiberglass and left to cure. A primer is applied to the surface of the pool and is left to dry.
Once completely dry, a new gel coat or epoxy finish is evenly applied to the surface of the pool. Once the gelcoat or epoxy has dried and allowed to completely cure, the pool is refilled. The pools water chemicals are added and adjusted before swimming can commence.
Tile Pools
Resurfacing a tile pool starts the same way as all other pool projects. You start by draining the pool and thoroughly cleaning the surface of the pool. The cleaning is designed to remove debris, grime, and any loose tiles from the bottom of the pool.
The next step is to prepare the surface by removing old tiles and grout and ensuring the underlying structure is solid. Once the surface has been cleaned and prepared, tile adhesive is applied and the tiles are set in place.
Once the tiles have been set, grout is added between the tiles to fill in the gaps and then smoothed off. After the grout has set, the surface is cleaned once again to remove any remaining residue. Finally, the pool is refilled. Once the water chemistry has had time to balance, the pool is ready for swimming.
