What exactly is pool surface resurfacing, and how is it done? The new surface can't be applied to an existing pool that has been coated with fiberglass, plaster, pebble or all tile. It is necessary to prepare the surface for a new coating of plaster or pebble. This can be done by either cutting out the plaster, bonding coating the surface with sand blasting, hydroblasting or chipping the existing plaster. The National Plasterers Council states that all of these methods are acceptable, however, each method has its advantages and disadvantages. Now you can apply the plaster, quartz, exposed pebbles, glass beads or polished pool coat to the surface after it has been prepared.

Some pools might need a chemical treatment or a chemical wash to clean and prep the surface. Use a sandblaster or chisel the underlying concrete to ensure the new material holds well. Focus on a tiny area of the pool at a time. This process can take up to three days, depending on the size of your pool.

The final step in the pool resurfacing process, referred to as the Initial Water Treatment step, is one of the most important steps to be completed for the extended look and life of your new pool surface material.
