pool resurfacing is done when the surface gets rough, stained and discolored. One can do it himself or can hire professionals to do it. For this, one needs to have an idea of different types of surface options available.

Types of resurfacing material:

Though there are many types of resurfacing materials available, the three most commonly used are pebble, quartz and plaster. Plaster is the popular choice as it is less expensive. However plaster often has some performance issues which make people opt for Quartz and pebble.

Pebble Pool Surfaces:

When people refer to a pebble pool surface they mean a plaster surface that is mixed with a pebble aggregate where the pebble comprises a majority in the pool surface. The advantage of this plaster pebble surface is that it is very stain resistant and one can add some very attractive color schemes to the mix. One of the main drawbacks is that they do not feel comfortable underfoot as a smooth plaster surface. However a high quality pebble surface will cost almost double the amount but it will last for about 15 to 20 years.

Quartz Pool Surface:

The second most expensive and long lasting option is the Quartz Pool surface. It will last longer than 15 to 20 years, which is longer than plaster. One of the advantages of Quartz pool surface is that. This option offers a hard, stain resistant pool surface that can be spiced up with color. The cost is about 40%to 60% more than a plaster pool surface.

Plaster Pool Surface:

Plaster is the most commonly used material. It is often referred as the carpet of the pool surfacing world. It is most cost effective and is one with which people are most familiar with. The use of effective methods and the use of premium plaster give one good value for money.

Fiberglass Pool Surface:

This is a very good option as it is stronger than plaster; it provides superior resistance to stains, algae and discoloration and reduces operational costs.
