Swimming Pool Replastering & Resurfacing Options:
Plaster Pool Surface
Plaster is cement mixed with limestone or marble. It is the most common and least expensive swimming pool surface. Different colors can be applied. It is not the best swimming pool surface as it is susceptible to staining, bacteria growth, and will only last 5-10 years.
Pebble Pool Surface
Pebble inground swimming pool surfaces are compromised mostly of plaster with pebbles aggregate mixed in. This is the most stain resistant and durable surface and there are many different amazing colors and textures to choose from. These surfaces mimic the look and feel of a natural stream bed. The life expectancy of this finish is anywhere from 15-20 years.
Quartz Pool Surface
A quartz swimming pool surface is a plaster based surface with a quartz aggregate mixed in. The new quartz & plaster mixture is stain resistant, non-porous, and lasts longer than plaster alone. You can expect a pool finish life of 10-15 years with the addition of quartz.
