Why Choose Pebble Finish Replastering for Your Gunite Pool?

Pebble finish is the ideal resurfacing option for Maine’s climate, offering exceptional durability and a natural stone texture that enhances any pool design. The wet edge technique adds a smooth, polished look around the waterline, preventing stains and creating a seamless transition between pool surface and water.

Pool Tile, Coping, and Bond Beam Repair

For this pool renovation, our team replaced the perimeter pool tile and reset the coping stones. To do this properly, the coping was carefully removed so we could clean and repair the bond beam—a critical structural element that holds the tile and coping in place. Once the bond beam was restored, the coping was reset, and the new tile installation was completed. This process helps extend the life of the pool structure and improves the overall appearance.

Acid Wash for White Plaster Pool Surfaces

We also completed an acid wash on the white plaster pool finish. Acid washing removes a thin top layer of plaster, eliminating stains, scale, and discoloration. The result is a brighter, cleaner surface that looks almost new again.

Acid washing is a cost-effective way to refresh your pool’s plaster, but it can only be done a limited number of times before a full pool resurfacing or replastering is needed. If your plaster shows signs of wear after multiple acid washes, pool replastering is the long-term solution.

Top Renovation FAQ’s

1. How do I know if my pool needs renovation?

Signs include cracks, worn or faded plaster, missing or outdated tile, leaks, inefficient equipment, or simply an outdated style that no longer fits your backyard.

2. What are the most common types of pool renovations?

Popular updates include resurfacing, tile and coping replacement, adding water features, upgrading lighting, replacing vinyl liners, deck renovations, and equipment upgrades like energy-efficient pumps and heaters.

3. How long does a pool renovation take?

Timelines vary based on the scope of work. A basic resurfacing may take 1–2 weeks, while a full remodel with decking, plumbing, and custom features could take 4–8 weeks or more.

4. Can I change the shape or size of my pool during renovation?

Yes—major renovations can include reshaping or resizing your pool, though this requires additional construction and permitting.

5. How much does a pool renovation cost?

Costs depend on materials, labor, and project scope. Simple resurfacing may cost a few thousand dollars, while full renovations with decking, spas, and custom features can run tens of thousands.

6. What resurfacing options are available?

Common finishes include plaster, quartz, pebble, glass bead, and polished aggregate. Each offers different aesthetics, durability, and price points.

7. Can I add modern features to my older pool?

Yes—automation systems, LED lighting, tanning ledges, spas, water features, fire bowls, and energy-efficient equipment can all be added during renovation.

8. Do I need a permit for pool renovation?

Permits are often required for structural changes, electrical or plumbing work, or altering the pool’s depth/size. Cosmetic upgrades like tile replacement usually don’t require permits.

9. How long will my renovated pool last?

With proper care, plaster surfaces typically last 7–10 years, quartz and pebble finishes 10–20 years, and modern equipment upgrades can last a decade or more.

10. When is the best time of year to renovate a pool?

Fall and winter are often ideal because contractors are less busy, and the pool will be ready before the next swim season.
