2. Removal Of Surface Material

This is the second step of the resurfacing process and is usually the loudest and dustiest of the entire lot. This step incorporates pneumatic chisels and hammers to strip the old surface. The purpose of this step is to remove the old surface materials and prepare the pool to receive the new coating.

In this step, make sure that the experts working on the pool take the necessary precautions to protect your property. Also, take care to remove any poolside furniture to prevent damage. Don’t forget to make sure that the contractor cleans up after the process is complete.

3. Tiling The Surface

Now it’s time for tiling the surface. This is a step where you can get creative and choose the kind of surface that the pool should have. After the surface type and tiles have been selected, the masonry experts can begin. Apart from tiles, this is the step where any coping and decorative material should be installed.

Any other requirements and suggestions that the homeowners might have can also be incorporated in this step.

4. Sealing The Plumbing

Once the tiling and surfacing have been completed to satisfaction, now it’s time to make the pool watertight. This is done by sealing all the plumbing and making sure that the pool does not develop any leaks. Also, the pool should be washed at this stage to prepare it for the final pool finish.

5. Application Of Pool Finish

This is the step where your chosen pool finish is actually applied to the pool. This step takes about half a day to complete. The time taken to finish depends on a number of factors, most important among them being the pool size, and the type of finish applied.

6. Optional Acid Wash

This depends on the type of pool finish that is used. An acid wash is mostly required if you have selected quartz, hydrazzo, or pebble finish, and is used for removing any rough or uneven surfaces. This is a step that requires a careful operation and must be handled only by experts. So make sure to hire only trained and certified professionals to do the job.

7. Filling The Pool

After the acid wash, now it’s time to refill the pool. It’s best if the homeowners are present for this step, as they can help keep the water level in check while the pool is filled. This is a must if you wish to avoid water lines forming on the sides of the pool. It’s important to not turn off the water completely at any point while filling the pool for the first time. You can slow down the rate at which it fills, but don’t turn it completely off until it reaches a few inches above where the tile meets the surface.

8. Final Steps

At the end of the entire process, the water in the pool must be chemically treated. This helps to improve the look and longevity of the new pool surface material. Also, once the pool has been filled with water, it needs to undergo multiple procedures to allow the surface to cure evenly.

Regular monitoring and supervision are necessary during the first week of the curing process. After this is done successfully, you should have a new and shiny pool in which to frolic.
