Pool Resurfacing Services in St. Petersburg, FL

Your swimming pool is the first thing guests notice when they walk into your backyard for the first time. A brand-new pool with shimmering water is pleasant, but old and weathered pools can quickly become an eyesore. If your swimming pool looks haggard, consider a resurfacing project.

Resurfacing Options

Water is corrosive, and it works relentlessly to attack the surface of your pool. Over time, the bright color begins to fade, and walking on the bottom may hurt your feet. Older pools with a plaster or Macrite finish are the most likely candidates for resurfacing. While these finishes were popular in the late 90s, almost every new swimming pool installation has an aggregate finish.

Modern finishes last between two and ten times longer than plaster and are stunning. An aggregate finish can have a conventional pebbled texture or the smoothness of polished marble or quartz. Either way, your new pool surface will be more attractive and last longer than the material you are replacing.

Our Process: How We Resurface a Pool

Our resurfacing process at Hollywood Pools and Spas ensures your pool will have a modern, striking appearance. Every pool resurfacing project includes the following steps:

Preparation: Our initial consultation helps determine the project's scope and allows the customer to browse through the wide array of surface options and colors we offer. When the permit process is complete, we will drain your pool according to local regulations.
Interior Removal: After removing the water, the existing interior is carefully chipped or water blasted away using specially designed equipment. The tile is then either scuffed or removed at this time as well.
Added Options: Any plumbing modifications, decking changes, water features, pool equipment, boulders, and other improvements are installed in this phase.
Interior Surface Replacement: The installation process depends entirely on your selected surface. Most materials are applied through a pressurized nozzle operated by a trained technician. The material is then smoothed by a hand trowel until there are no imperfections on the surface.
Fill the Pool: After the material has been dried and washed with an acid wash, the pool is filled with water. The filling process must only be interrupted once the water reaches the middle of the pool tiles. Improperly filling the pool can cause discoloration and negatively impact the integrity of the surface.
Start-Up: Once the pool has filled, all critical chemicals are added to balance the water. The pool equipment is started, and the interior surface is brushed to remove any residue accumulated during installation.
