Restore a Smooth Surface You'll Actually Want to Swim On

Pool resurfacing services for Phoenix homeowners dealing with rough, stained, or damaged finishes

When the surface of your pool in Phoenix has become rough enough to scrape your feet, stained beyond what brushing can fix, or pitted from years of chemical exposure, resurfacing restores both the look and the feel of the pool. Sonoran Pool Pros LLC applies new plaster, pebble, or aggregate finishes that hold up better under Arizona's intense sun and dry climate, giving you a surface that's smooth, clean, and less likely to harbor algae or discolor quickly.

Resurfacing involves draining the pool, removing the old surface layer, repairing any cracks or voids in the underlying shell, and applying a new finish that bonds to the concrete structure. The type of finish you choose affects durability, texture, and how often the pool needs replastering. Standard white plaster is the least expensive but fades faster. Pebble and quartz finishes last longer and resist staining better in high-calcium water.

If your pool surface is worn down and you're ready to replace it with something that lasts longer and feels better, reach out to discuss finish options and scheduling in Phoenix.

What's Included in This Service

Resurfacing in Phoenix starts with draining the pool and pressure washing the old surface to remove loose material and expose the shell. Any cracks or separations in the concrete are repaired with hydraulic cement or epoxy before the new finish is applied.

After resurfacing is complete, you'll notice a smoother texture underfoot, fewer stains, and water that's easier to keep balanced because the surface isn't releasing old calcium deposits. Sonoran Pool Pros LLC helps homeowners choose finishes that perform well in Phoenix's water conditions and high UV exposure.

The new finish is troweled onto the shell in layers and smoothed by hand to create an even surface. Pebble finishes use small stones mixed into the plaster for added texture and durability. Aggregate finishes include crushed quartz or glass beads for a smoother feel and longer lifespan. The pool is refilled immediately after the finish is applied and the water chemistry is carefully balanced during the curing period to prevent etching or discoloration.

Details That Matter Most

Homeowners planning to resurface their pool usually want to know how long the new finish will last, what options hold up best in dry climates, and how soon the pool can be used after the work is done.

What are the most common pool resurfacing materials?
White plaster is the most affordable and lasts ten to fifteen years. Pebble finishes last longer and resist staining better. Quartz and aggregate finishes offer the smoothest texture and longest lifespan.
How long does pool resurfacing take?
Most resurfacing projects take three to five days from draining to refilling. The finish needs to cure underwater for at least a week before you can swim, and water chemistry must be monitored closely during that time.
Why does pool plaster become rough over time?
Plaster wears down from chemical exposure, brushing, and UV damage. Calcium buildup can also create rough patches. High alkalinity in the water accelerates surface degradation in Phoenix.
What finish works best in Arizona heat?
Pebble and quartz finishes resist fading and hold up better under constant sun exposure. They also handle high calcium levels in Phoenix water without etching as quickly as standard plaster.
When should you resurface your pool?
You should resurface when the surface feels rough, shows visible cracks or stains that won't scrub off, or when the underlying shell becomes exposed in worn areas. Waiting too long can lead to structural damage.

A worn-out pool surface doesn't just look bad, it makes the pool harder to clean and less comfortable to use. Get in touch to schedule resurfacing in Phoenix and choose a finish that will last through years of heat and regular use.
