Texas swimming pools face relentless sunlight, calcium scale, and shifting clay soils that demand periodic resurfacing and joint maintenance to protect structural integrity.
Pool Resurfacing Finish Comparison
| Interior Pool Finish | Installed Cost (Avg Pool) | Expected Lifespan | Texture & Stain Resistance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard White Plaster | $4,500 – $7,500 | 7 – 10 Years | Smooth feel; susceptible to calcium scale & acid etching |
| Quartz Aggregate (Diamond Brite) | $6,500 – $10,500 | 10 – 14 Years | Medium smooth; blend of colored quartz crystals & cement |
| Mini-Pebble (PebbleSheen) | $8,500 – $14,000 | 15 – 20+ Years | Non-slip pebble feel; stain-proof ceramic pebble blend |
| Polished Marble Aggregate | $9,500 – $16,000 | 15 – 20 Years | Silk-smooth honed texture, rich aquatic water color |
Bond Kote & Prep Requirements
Never apply new plaster over delaminated old plaster without performing a full chip-out or hydro-blasting the old surface to bare concrete. Apply a polymer-modified bonding coat (Bond Kote) to guarantee 100% mechanical adhesion of the new finish.
