epoxy pool resurfacing

aqua blue pool finish

Over time, the coating and/or surface of the plaster degrades, and it must be resurfaced. Depending on the region, your pool may need this treatment every ten to twenty years. First, any cracks or spalling must be repaired, then the entire pool shell must be prepped. The goal of the prep is to remove loose plaster and roughen the surface so that any new layers of plaster will bond to it. Sandblasting, chipping, and chemical surface etching are all techniques used in the prep.

The good news is that once tiled, the pool won’t need resurfacing for at least twenty years, and with proper upkeep, probably a lot longer.

Protect and seal fiberglass with a thermoplastic powder coating like ecoFINISH. Covering a small or medium-sized pool can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $14,500. This finish is not cheap, but it is resistant to harsh chemicals and extreme temperature changes.
