Concrete Pool Resurfacing
What Is Concrete Pool Resurfacing?
A Step Toward a More Inviting Pool
Concrete pool resurfacing is the process of restoring the surface of your pool to its original condition. Over time, wear and tear can cause the concrete to crack, chip, or become rough, making it uncomfortable and unattractive. Resurfacing involves repairing and prepping the current surface and then applying a new, durable surface that will not only restore your pool’s beauty but also extend its life.
Why Choose Concrete Pool Resurfacing?
If you’re debating whether to repair or resurface your pool, consider the following benefits of resurfacing:
- Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal: Resurfacing can completely transform the look of your pool, giving it a modern, fresh appearance. Choose from various finishes and colors to match your preferences.
- Improved Safety: Rough or damaged pool surfaces can cause injuries. Resurfacing smooths out those rough spots, creating a safer swimming environment.
- Extended Pool Life: Resurfacing extends the life of your concrete pool, protecting it from further damage and wear. It’s a proactive approach to pool maintenance.
- Increased Property Value: A well-maintained pool adds significant value to your property. Resurfacing makes your pool more attractive to potential buyers or increases your family’s enjoyment.
Our Process: How We Resurface Concrete Pools
At Atlanta Leak Pros, we follow a tried-and-true method to ensure your pool resurfacing is performed with precision and care.
1. Initial Assessment and Consultation
We start by inspecting the condition of your pool. Our team assesses the damage, including cracks, stains, and rough surfaces. We then discuss your goals for the resurfacing project and provide recommendations for finishes and textures that match your style.
2. Draining the Pool
Once we’ve agreed on the details, the next step is draining the pool. We remove all the water to access the pool’s surface safely.
3. Surface Preparation
This is a critical step in the resurfacing process. We remove any loose portions of the current surface, repair any cracks or structural damage that may be present, waterproof the areas around all the pipes, lights, and waterline tile, and then apply a bonding agent to the surface, to ensure a strong bond.
4. Applying the New Surface
We apply the new surface layer using the highest quality materials designed to last. You can choose from more traditional plaster, various pebble aggregate finishes that range in color and shade, or more prestigious options that feature glass beads that shimmer in the sun, or even seashells that have an iridescent shine!
5. Filling the Pool and The Next Steps
Once the resurfacing is complete, a final acid wash is done, and the curing process begins. You will start refilling the pool as soon as the work is complete, and we will consult with you to coordinate the startup protocol that will take place over the first 30 days after the new surface is installed. This will typically be handled by a qualified pool maintenance professional.

Things You Wouldn’t Know Unless You Asked
- Surface Options Matter: Many people don’t realize that the surface finish you choose can impact maintenance. For example, traditional plaster is more affordable but requires more upkeep, and is not as durable. While pebble finishes are more durable, require less frequent maintenance, and can be acid washed to restore their original vibrance.
- Water Chemistry Is Key: Proper water chemistry is essential for maintaining the longevity of your pool’s surface. Poor water balance can cause staining, etching, and premature surface failure.
- Winterization Affects Longevity: In colder months, properly winterizing your pool can prevent damage to the surface. Freezing temperatures can cause cracks in the surface if your pool isn’t properly prepared.
