The Most Common Pool Surface Types
When choosing a pool surface, it is key to understand each material’s cost, durability, and longevity. Below is a breakdown of the most popular pool surfaces, their key characteristics, and a cost and lifespan comparison.
Plaster
Plaster is a traditional and budget-friendly pool surfacing option. It’s commonly used in gunite pools. Plaster is made from cement mixed with marble sand or limestone.
- Pros: Least expensive option, smooth finish, and simple application.
- Cons: Prone to staining and requires more frequent maintenance.
- Cost: $4–$7 per square foot.
- Longevity: Typically lasts around 7 years with proper maintenance.
Pebble
Pebble surfaces combine plaster with aggregates, providing added durability and resistance to stains. While more expensive, they offer greater resilience compared to plaster alone.
- Pros: Highly durable, stain-resistant, and offers a natural look.
- Cons: Rougher texture, higher cost.
- Cost: $9–$15 per square foot (approximately twice the plaster cost).
- Longevity: Often lasts over 12 years with minimal upkeep.
Quartz
Quartz finishes feature plaster mixed with quartz aggregates, blending durability with aesthetic appeal. This option provides a more colorful and stain-resistant surface.
- Pros: More vibrant color options than pebble, increased stain resistance, and smooth texture.
- Cons: Higher cost than plaster, but less expensive than tile.
- Cost: $5–$10 per square foot.
- Longevity: Typically lasts 12–15 years, making it a long-term investment.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass pools require resurfacing with fiberglass materials, typically a white fiberglass resin and gel coat. This specialty surface is designed exclusively for fiberglass pools.
- Pros: Durable, smooth, and resistant to algae.
- Cons: Professional installation is required but not recommended for DIY projects.
- Cost: $6–$12 per square foot for re-coating.
- Longevity: Proper resurfacing can last 15–20 years.
Tile
Tile is the epitome of elegance and customization for pools, offering intricate designs and a luxurious finish.
- Pros: Completely customizable, highly durable, and easy to clean.
- Cons: The most expensive option and requires professional installation.
- Cost: $20–$30 per square foot.
- Longevity: With proper maintenance, tiles can last 20+ years.
Epoxy
Epoxy coatings are a durable, chemical-resistant option often used for sealing internal surfaces or repairing cracks and leaks.
- Pros: Affordable for repairs and sealing, resistant to chemicals and wear.
- Cons: It is not an aesthetic finish but is primarily used for functional purposes.
- Cost: $4–$6 per square foot.
- Longevity: Depending on usage and pool conditions, epoxy coatings last around 5–7 years.

Pool Resurfacing Process
01
Sealcoat Application
Fibreliner™ seal coat is applied to penetrate and seal tiny pores, ensuring strong fiberglass bonding.
02
Resin Layer
A coat of pure vinyl ester resin (without color pigment or fillers) is added.
03
Fiberglass Layering
A heavy fiberglass mat (1.5 oz.) is hand-laid onto the damp resin layer.
04
Resin and Smoothing
Another coat of pure vinyl ester resin is applied over the fiberglass, then air-release rollers smooth and contour the surface.
05
Sanding and Base Coat
The surface is hand-sanded to remove blemishes and apply a first gel coat.
06
Final Coat & Finishing Touches
The final gel coat creates a durable, non-porous, watertight surface. Swimming lanes, wall targets, and custom logos can be added if desired.
