Pool Plastering

There are several tell-tale signs that it’s time to think about contacting a pool plastering company like Aqua Tek Pools.

If there are many surface stains in your pool you may not be able to remove them. As well as making your pool unsightly and uninviting, stains usually indicate that a resurface is due. Similarly, if the plaster is discolored, the pool generally needs to be replastered.

Don’t be tempted to try and remedy discoloration issues with inexpensive pool paint. It might look great in the short term, but the results will only last for a couple of years at the most. Eventually, the paint will wear away, flake off or dissolve and make the water murky.

Noticeable peeling or flaking of plaster also indicates problems with the existing plaster. Known by pool professionals as spalling, this can only be remedied with a replastering job.

Cracks are rarely a good sign in or around a pool. Whether you spot small web-like cracks in the plaster or larger cracks in the pool’s structure, you should contact a pool servicing company for advice. Don’t ignore cracks in steps or in-built seating areas either. As well as cracks you might also notice that your pool is losing water faster and that you need to keep topping it up more frequently.

Even if you can’t see a problem, if you feel uneven surfaces when walking in your pool (or when touching the sides), it’s likely almost time to think about a replaster.
