Bring a tired pool back to showroom condition

Every pool surface wears out eventually. WETYR Pools resurfaces and remodels older pools with new interior finishes, tile, and coping.

Pool Resurfacing & Remodeling

Rough, stained, or chipping plaster is a sign the interior finish has reached the end of its life. We resurface pools with durable pebble and quartz finishes, replace waterline tile and coping, and can remodel the whole pool with new features, decking, and automation. A resurface is the single biggest visual upgrade an older pool can get.

WETYR Pools handles resurfacing as a craftsman-led, design-build team. The people who plan your project are the people who build it and stand behind it, with no quality lost in the handoffs between separate companies. One team, one standard, and one point of accountability from the first conversation through long-term care.

Why It Matters

Every pool surface is a consumable, and every one wears out

It surprises some owners to hear it, but the interior finish of a pool is a consumable surface. It is not meant to last forever. It lives underwater, in constant contact with chemically treated water, brushed and scrubbed and walked on, for years on end. Even the best finish, cared for well, eventually reaches the end of its service life. A pool that needs resurfacing is not a pool that was built badly; it is usually just a pool that has been enjoyed for a long time.

The signs are easy to read once you know them. The surface turns rough or chalky underfoot. Stains appear that no amount of brushing or chemistry will lift. The finish chips, flakes, or develops blotchy discoloration, and in places the material beneath it begins to show through. A finish in this state is not only unattractive, it is also harder to keep clean and balanced, because a rough, porous surface gives algae and grime a foothold that a smooth one does not.

WETYR Pools resurfaces and remodels older pools, and it is genuinely transformative work. A resurface is the single biggest visual upgrade an older pool can receive, and because the same team designs and builds new pools, we approach a renovation with a designer's eye rather than a repair crew's checklist.

What's Included

Resurfacing, done right

Modern interior finishes

Pebble and quartz finishes that look beautiful and last longer than standard plaster.

Tile and coping

Fresh waterline tile and coping that transform the pool's look.

Full remodels

Add features, decking, lighting, and automation while the pool is being renovated.

Structural repairs

Cracks, hollow spots, and worn fittings addressed before the new finish goes on.

The Finishes

Choosing a surface that lasts longer than the last one

Resurfacing is also a chance to upgrade. The finish that is failing may be standard plaster; the finish that replaces it does not have to be. These are the main interior finishes we apply.

Pebble finishes

A pebble finish blends small natural pebbles into the surface material, creating an interior that is exceptionally durable, naturally textured, and rich in color and depth. Pebble finishes far outlast standard plaster and resist staining and etching, which is why they are the most popular premium choice.

Quartz finishes

A quartz finish blends hard quartz aggregate into the surface, producing a smooth, dense, hard-wearing interior in a wide range of colors. Quartz lasts considerably longer than standard plaster and gives the water a clean, jewel-like tone.

Standard plaster

Traditional white or colored plaster remains the most economical finish and can be the right call for some budgets. It is smooth and classic, though it has the shortest service life of the options and is more prone to staining and etching.

Tile and glass

A fully tiled interior, or glass tile accents, represents the top of the range: beautiful, extremely long-lived, and impervious. Glass tile in particular is often used at the waterline and on features for a finish that simply does not wear out.

More Than A Finish

Resurfacing is the moment to renovate everything

The smartest thing an owner can do with a resurfacing project is to see it as more than a new coat on the inside of the pool. When a pool is being drained and worked on, the access and the disruption are already paid for. That makes it by far the most efficient and economical moment to address everything else that has aged, and to add the things the pool never had.

The waterline tile and the coping, the cap around the pool's edge, age alongside the finish, and replacing them at the same time completely transforms the look of the pool. The decking around the pool can be re-done in the same project, so the pool and its surroundings are renewed together rather than leaving a beautiful new interior framed by a tired old deck. And it is the ideal time to add features: new LED and color-changing lighting, a sun shelf, water features, fire features, or modern equipment and automation can all be built in while the pool is open.

Approached this way, a resurface becomes a true remodel. The pool does not just return to how it looked when it was new; it can come back better than it ever was, retuned to current tastes and fitted with everything a pool of its era was missing. We help you decide how far to take it, with no pressure either way.

Done Right

What proper resurfacing addresses beneath the surface

A resurface that only deals with the visible surface is a resurface that will disappoint. The reason a finish failed, and the things that have gone wrong structurally over the years, have to be dealt with before the new finish goes on, or the new finish simply inherits the old problems.

When the pool is drained, WETYR Pools inspects what is normally hidden. Cracks are evaluated and properly repaired. Hollow or delaminated spots in the old surface are found and addressed. Worn or dated fittings, returns, main drains, lights, and skimmer components, are checked and replaced as needed, because a fitting is far easier to deal with now than after a new finish is cured around it. The old finish is then prepared correctly to give the new one a sound surface to bond to. Only then is the new interior applied.

Most resurfacing projects run a couple of weeks depending on the scope, the finish chosen, and the weather, and a full remodel that adds tile, coping, decking, and features takes longer. You receive a tracked schedule before work begins and a fixed, itemized proposal, so you know the scope, the timeline, and the cost up front. The result is a pool brought genuinely back to life, sound underneath and beautiful on the surface.

Questions Answered

Resurfacing FAQ

Clear answers to the questions homeowners ask most.

How do I know my pool needs resurfacing?+

The common signs are a rough or chalky surface underfoot, stains that will not brush or balance out, chips and flaking, blotchy discoloration, and the material beneath the finish starting to show through. A finish in this state is also harder to keep clean and balanced.

How long does pool resurfacing take?+

Most resurfacing projects take a couple of weeks, depending on the scope, the finish chosen, and the weather. A fuller remodel that also adds tile, coping, decking, or features takes longer. You receive a tracked schedule before work begins.

What is the best pool finish?+

Pebble and quartz finishes are the popular premium choices because they far outlast standard plaster and resist staining and etching. Standard plaster is the most economical, and full tile is the longest-lived. We help you choose the right one for your pool and budget.

Should I add features while resurfacing?+

It is the ideal time. With the pool already drained and open, adding lighting, a sun shelf, water or fire features, or modern equipment and automation is far more efficient than doing it as a separate project later. A resurface is the natural moment for a full remodel.

Does resurfacing fix cracks and structural issues?+

Proper resurfacing addresses them. When the pool is drained we inspect what is normally hidden, repair cracks, fix hollow or delaminated spots, and replace worn fittings before the new finish goes on, so the new surface does not inherit the old problems.

Can resurfacing make an old pool look modern?+

Yes. Combined with new waterline tile, new coping, updated decking, modern lighting, and current finishes, a resurface can bring a dated pool fully up to date. Because our team also designs new pools, we approach a remodel with a designer's eye.
