Introduction
Your pool is more than just a place to cool off on a hot day; it's a key feature of your home, a gathering spot for family and friends, and an investment in your property.
Over time, however, pools can begin to show signs of wear and tear. Cracks, stains, and rough surfaces can detract from the beauty of your pool and even pose safety risks.
This guide will walk you through the process of pool plastering and remodeling, helping you understand the benefits, options, and steps involved in transforming your pool into a stunning, functional oasis.
Why Replaster Your Pool?
Signs Your Pool Needs Replastering
As a pool owner, it's essential to recognize the signs that your pool may need replastering. Common indicators include visible cracks, rough textures that can scrape skin, discoloration or stains, and even peeling or chipping plaster.
These issues not only affect the appearance of your pool but can also lead to moresignificant problems if left unaddressed.
Benefits of Replastering
Replastering your pool provides several benefits beyond aesthetic improvement. A smooth, new plaster surface enhances the comfort of swimmers, reducing the risk of scrapes or injuries. Additionally, replastering can prevent leaks, improve the structural integrity of your pool, and extend its lifespan.
By choosing high-quality plaster materials, you ensure that your pool remains beautifuland functional for years to come.
Choosing the Right Finish
Plaster Types and Their Features
When it comes to replastering, not all finishes are created equal. The type of plaster you choose can significantly impact the appearance and durability of your pool. Popular options include Brands from NPT such as Quartzscapes and Stonescapes Mini Pebble or Brands from Universal Cement like SparkleQuartz or Radiant Fusion, and traditional white plaster.
Quartzscapes
This finish is known for its durability and resistance to chemical and UV damage. It comes in various colors, allowing you to customize the look of your pool.
Radiant Fusion
This micropebble with glass finish offers a luxurious, smooth texture and is available in a range of colors. It’s particularly popular for its elegant appearance and long-lasting performance.
Traditional White Plaster
While more affordable and less textured, white plaster provides a classic, clean look but may require more maintenance over time and a shorter lifespan.
Customization Options
One of the exciting aspects of replastering is the opportunity to customize your pool's finish. You can choose from a variety of colors, textures, and aggregate blends to create a unique look that complements your outdoor space. Whether you prefer a classic white finish or a more vibrant, colorful pool, there are options to match your vision.
Remodeling Options
Beyond replastering, there are several remodeling options available to enhance your pool's overall appearance and functionality.
Tile Replacement
Tiles are a critical component of your pool's design, contributing to its aesthetic and durability. Over time, tiles can crack, fade, or become outdated. Replacing your pool tiles with modern options can drastically improve its look. You can choose from various materials, such as porcelain, glass, or stone, to achieve the desired style. Whether you want a sleek, modern look or a natural, earthy vibe, new tiles can transform your pool. And there is no better time to do it than at the same time as your replaster project.
Coping Enhancements
Coping—the material that surrounds the edge of your pool — serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. It protects the pool structure and provides a safe, comfortable surface for swimmers to sit or walk on. Upgrading your coping can enhance the pool's appearance and safety. Options include stone, brick, or concrete, each offering different styles and benefits. By selecting the right coping, you can create a seamless transition between your pool and the surrounding deck or landscape.
Decking Upgrades
The pool deck is another area where remodeling can make a significant impact. Whether you want to expand the deck, replace old materials, or add new features, upgrading your pool deck can improve the overall functionality and appeal of your outdoor space. Popular decking materials include pavers, stamped concrete, and natural stone. Additionally, you might consider adding elements like a fire pit, outdoor kitchen, or lounge area to create a complete backyard oasis.

Maintenance Tips for Your New Pool Finish
Once your pool has been replastered or remodeled, proper maintenance is essential to preserve its beauty and functionality.
Post-Plastering Care
After the plastering is complete, it’s crucial to follow specific care instructions during the initial curing period. This typically involves monitoring and adjusting the pool’s water chemistry, brushing the plaster surface to remove dust, and running the filtration system continuously to ensure proper circulation. Following these steps will help the plaster cure properly and prevent common issues like scaling or discoloration.
Ongoing Maintenance
Regular maintenance is key to keeping your pool in top condition. This includes routine cleaning, balancing the water chemistry, and inspecting the pool’s surface for any signs of wear or damage. By staying on top of these tasks, you can extend the life of your new plaster and keep your pool looking pristine.
Seasonal Tips
In addition to routine maintenance, there are specific steps you should take depending on the season. For example, winterizing your pool involves lowering the water level, and covering the pool to protect it from freezing temperatures. In contrast, preparing your pool for summer might include a thorough cleaning, checking the filtration system, and ensuring the water chemistry is balanced.
