How Often Should You Resurface Your Pool?

Keeping your pool in top condition requires regular maintenance, and one of the most important aspects is pool resurfacing. Over time, exposure to chemicals, weather, and daily use can cause the surface to deteriorate, leading to cracks, stains, and rough patches. But how often should you resurface your pool?

At Aqua Blue Pool Resurface, we help homeowners maintain their pools with expert resurfacing solutions. Below, we’ll break down the ideal resurfacing schedule based on pool type, signs that it’s time for a refresh, and ways to extend your pool’s lifespan.

How Often Should a Pool Be Resurfaced?

The frequency of pool resurfacing depends on the type of finish used:

• Plaster (Marcite): Every 5 to 10 years

• Quartz (Diamond Brite): Every 10 to 15 years

• Pebble (PebbleTec, StoneScapes): Every 15 to 20 years

• Fiberglass: Every 15 to 30 years

If your pool is nearing the end of its recommended resurfacing lifespan, it’s a good idea to inspect the surface for signs of wear and tear.

Signs Your Pool Needs Resurfacing

Even if your pool is within its expected lifespan, some indicators suggest it's time to resurface sooner rather than later:

✔ Rough or Uneven Texture – If your pool surface feels rough or has peeling areas, it can cause discomfort and even small cuts on swimmers' feet.

✔ Stains & Discoloration – Over time, chemical imbalances, algae growth, and mineral deposits can stain your pool’s surface, making it look old and uninviting.

✔ Cracks & Chips – Small cracks and chips in your pool's surface can worsen if left unattended, leading to costly structural issues.

✔ Water Leaks – If you’re losing more water than usual, the problem may be a deteriorating surface rather than simple evaporation.

✔ Frequent Chemical Adjustments – If it’s becoming harder to maintain proper water chemistry, an aging pool surface may be affecting the chemical balance.

How to Extend Your Pool’s Surface Life

To maximize the lifespan of your pool surface and delay the need for resurfacing:

✅ Maintain Proper Water Chemistry – Keep your pH, alkalinity, and chlorine levels balanced to prevent premature surface wear.

✅ Use a Pool Cover – Reducing sun exposure and debris accumulation prevents fading and staining.

✅ Brush & Clean Regularly – Brushing the walls and floors helps prevent algae buildup and keeps the surface smooth.

✅ Schedule Routine Inspections – Catching small issues early can prevent costly repairs down the line.
