Every pool needs resurfacing eventually. Knowing when to call a professional can save you thousands in structural repairs.
1. Rough Texture
If the pool floor feels like sandpaper and snags your swimsuits, the finish is deteriorating.
2. Stubborn Stains
When chemical treatments and acid washes no longer remove algae or mineral stains, the surface has become too porous.
3. Peeling or Flaking (Spalling)
If you see chunks of plaster coming off the walls or floor, resurfacing is urgently needed.
4. Chalky Residue
A cloudy pool even when chemicals are balanced often means the plaster is breaking down and dissolving into the water.
5. Drop in Water Levels
While evaporation is normal, significant water loss can indicate cracks in the plaster leading to leaks.
