Look for rough or sharp surfaces that scratch swimmers, visible cracks, peeling plaster, persistent staining that won't brush off, or water loss beyond normal evaporation. Most pools need resurfacing every 7–15 years depending on the surface type and local water chemistry.
The process typically takes 5–10 days: 1–2 days to drain and prep, 1–2 days for the new surface application, and 3–7 days for curing before you can swim. Weather, surface type, and pool size affect the timeline.
Pool resurfacing is not a DIY-friendly project. It requires specialized equipment, professional-grade materials, and in most states (TX, AZ, FL, NV) a contractor's license. Improper installation voids material warranties and can lead to premature failure.
"Replastering" specifically refers to applying new white plaster. "Resurfacing" is the broader term covering all surface types — plaster, pebble, quartz, fiberglass. All involve draining the pool, removing the old surface, and applying a new one.
