If your Pompano Beach pool is more than 10-15 years old, chances are the interior surface is showing real wear - rough spots, staining, chalky discoloration, or small cracks. Resurfacing restores both the appearance and the structural protection of the pool and is typically the single most impactful upgrade for the cost.
Signs You Need a Resurface
- Rough or scratchy surface underfoot
- Chalky or discolored finish
- Visible stains that don't scrub off
- Plaster flaking or 'spalling'
- Small hairline cracks in the interior
- Chronic chemistry issues despite proper care
What Resurfacing Actually Involves
A professional resurface is a multi-step process: drain the pool, mechanically remove the failing surface (chip-out), repair the shell as needed, apply bond coat, install new finish (typically Diamond Brite, Pebble, or glass tile), cure properly, refill, and bring water chemistry to spec. Start to finish, the project usually takes 7-14 days depending on finish choice and weather.
Finish Options for Pompano Beach Pools
Diamond Brite (an aggregate plaster) is the most popular - it's durable, looks great, and comes in a wide range of colors. Pebble finishes go a step further with larger aggregate for a more textured, natural look and even longer lifespan. Glass tile interiors are the premium tier - stunning, expensive, and effectively permanent.
Pair Resurfacing With Small Upgrades
Since the pool is drained anyway, resurfacing is the perfect time to replace waterline tile, upgrade the main drain, retrofit to LED lights, add bubblers or a tanning ledge bench, and address any plumbing issues. Adding a few small upgrades during a resurface is far cheaper than doing any of them as standalone projects later.
