Replastering a swimming pool involves applying a new layer of plaster to the existing pool shell. This process is typically undertaken when the current plaster is stained, cracked, rough, or otherwise deteriorated, impacting the pool’s aesthetics and structural integrity. For example, significant cracking can lead to water loss and further damage to the underlying pool structure.
Maintaining a pool’s surface is vital for its longevity and usability. A smooth, well-maintained plaster finish provides a comfortable swimming experience and prevents algae buildup. Historically, pool surfaces have been improved over time, from basic concrete to more durable and aesthetically pleasing plaster formulations, enhancing pool ownership. Neglecting the pool surface can lead to costly repairs down the line.
