Pool Resurfacing & Replastering
in Nashville, TN

Rough, chalky, stained plaster isn’t a cosmetic problem — it’s the surface failing. We strip the old finish back to a sound shell and bond on a new one built for Middle Tennessee’s freeze-thaw winters and hard water. Twenty-plus years, thousands of pools, in-house crews only.

What Resurfacing Fixes

Every Plaster Finish Has a Clock on It

The white marcite on most older Nashville pools is good for 8–10 years before it chalks, stains, and turns rough underfoot. Resurfacing resets that clock — but only if it’s done right. We chip out the failed layer, repair the substrate, address any tile and coping while the pool’s open, and bond a fresh finish to the shell.

Done cheap, plaster delaminates in two seasons and you’re paying twice. Done properly — correct prep, the right finish for your pool, and a real chemical start-up — you get a decade or more out of it. That’s the only way we do it.

Is It Time?

Signs Your Pool Needs Resurfacing

◇

Rough or Chalky Surface

Plaster that scrapes feet and leaves white residue on your hand has lost its sealing layer. It only gets rougher from here.

◈

Persistent Staining

Mineral and metal stains that won’t brush or acid-wash out are sitting in a porous, worn surface — not just on top of it.

▱

Flaking & Spalling

Thin chips or “pop-offs” mean the finish is delaminating from the shell. Patches won’t hold — the bond is gone.

◉

Exposed Gunite

Dark gray patches where plaster has worn through to the structural shell. The shell is now unprotected and absorbing water.

⬡

Constant Chemical Fight

Algae that keeps coming back in the texture and water you can’t keep balanced usually trace back to a failing surface.

◭

8–10+ Years Old

If your last replaster was a decade ago and it was standard marcite, you’re at or past the end of its service life.

Finish Options

Pick the Finish That Fits Your Pool

Lifespan, texture, and look all change with the finish. We’ll walk you through which one makes sense for your pool and how you use it.

◇

Standard Marcite

The classic white or tinted plaster. Smooth, time-tested, and the most budget-friendly way to reset your surface.

Lifespan: 8–10 years
◈

Quartz Aggregate

Plaster blended with crushed quartz. Tougher, more stain-resistant, and a wider range of colors than marcite.

Lifespan: 15–20 years
⬡

Pebble Finish

Natural pebble aggregate — the most durable and forgiving surface, with a high-end texture and depth of color.

Lifespan: 20+ years
✦

Polished / Hydrazzo

A polished marble-aggregate finish — the smoothest underfoot and the longest-lasting surface we install.

Lifespan: 20–30 years
How We Work

The Resurfacing Process

01

Free On-Site Assessment & Finish Selection

We inspect the shell, the existing finish, and your tile and coping in person, then help you choose the right finish — with an honest, itemized quote.

02

Drain & Chip-Out

We drain the pool and remove the failed plaster down to a sound surface. Skipping this is the number-one reason cheap replasters delaminate.

03

Substrate Prep & Bond Coat

We repair the shell, set a proper bond coat, and handle any waterline tile or coping now — while the pool’s already open and it’s far cheaper to do.

04

Finish Application

Our in-house crew applies and troweling the new finish — no subcontractors handed your pool. The same people quote it, prep it, and finish it.

05

Fill, Chemical Start-Up & Brushing

We fill the pool and run a proper start-up with a brushing schedule. This first week protects the new finish for its entire life — most failures start here.

Common Questions

Pool Resurfacing Questions

How long does pool resurfacing take?

The resurface itself is about a week. Add filling and chemical start-up and most pools are back in service inside 1–2 weeks. Adding tile or coping pushes it to 2–3 weeks — which is the right time to do it, since the pool’s already drained.

How long will a new finish last in Nashville?

Standard marcite runs 8–10 years; quartz 15–20; pebble 20+; polished finishes 20–30. Nashville’s freeze-thaw cycles and hard water shorten anything that’s installed poorly, so prep and start-up matter as much as the finish you pick.

Can’t you just patch the bad spots?

Spot patches almost never bond to old, worn plaster — they pop off and look worse. Once a finish is delaminating or chalking across the surface, a full resurface is the only fix that lasts.

How long before I can swim?

Usually 1–2 weeks after we finish, depending on how fast the pool fills. The first week of brushing and balanced chemistry is critical — it cures and protects the surface, so we don’t rush it.

Should I do tile and coping at the same time?

If they’re dated or damaged, yes. The pool is already drained and prepped, so doing coping and waterline tile during a resurface costs far less than calling us back out for a separate job later.

Which finish is right for my pool?

It depends on your shell, how you use the pool, and how long you plan to keep it. We’ll give you a straight recommendation at the assessment — not an upsell to the most expensive option.
