As the New Year dawns, many of us are inspired to revitalize our spaces, and what better way to start than by giving your pool a fresh look? A well-maintained pool not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your backyard but also ensures safety and functionality. Professional resurfacing services can be the perfect solution if your pool is showing signs of wear and tear. Here’s how you can refresh your pool and enjoy it to the fullest this year.
Evaluate the Condition of Your Pool’s Surface
The first step is to thoroughly examine your pool’s current condition. Check for cracks, pitting, etching, and discoloration. Over time, plaster can become rough and abrasive, and tile grout may crumble. Make notes on the flaws you find so the resurfacing company understands the issues that need addressing. This evaluation will help determine the scope of work.
Choose a Resurfacing Method
There are a few common professional pool resurfacing options to choose from:
- Plastering: This involves troweling a new layer of plaster over the old surface. You can match your existing plaster colour or go for a fresh new hue. Plaster provides a smooth, durable finish.
- Fibreglass: Fibreglass resurfacing involves securely bonding fibreglass panels over the old shell. The panels can be moulded to a variety of shapes and textures. Durability is a prime advantage of fibreglass.
- Pebble finish: This decorative finish uses small pebbles embedded in plaster. In addition to being aesthetic, pebble finishes are slip-resistant.
- Tile: Retiling a pool creates a bold new look. From vibrant colours to unique patterns, tile offers unlimited design choices. Proper tile application is key to achieving a long-lasting finish.
The Resurfacing Process
The resurfacing process typically involves several steps:
- Drain the Pool: The first step is to drain your pool completely to access the surface.
- Surface Preparation: Professionals will chip away any damaged areas, clean the surface, and ensure it’s ready for the new material.
- Apply New Material: The new surface material is applied depending on your choice. This can range from plaster to pebble finishes.
- Curing: After application, the new surface needs time to cure properly before refilling the pool.
- Refill and Balance Water: Once cured, the pool is refilled, and the water chemistry is balanced for safe swimming.
