A worn or deteriorating pool surface can make the entire pool look older—even when the water is clean and the equipment is working properly.
El Dorado Pool Cleaning provides pool resurfacing for aging, stained, rough, cracked, or deteriorated pool interiors. We inspect the existing surface, evaluate its condition, and recommend an appropriate resurfacing option based on the pool, finish, and level of wear.
Pool resurfacing can improve appearance, create a smoother swimming surface, and help protect the underlying pool structure.
The exact resurfacing process depends on the existing finish, condition of the pool, and the new surface being installed.
A typical resurfacing project may include:
Inspecting the existing pool surface
Evaluating cracks, staining, rough areas, and surface deterioration
Draining the pool
Preparing or removing the existing finish as needed
Repairing minor surface defects before resurfacing
Preparing fittings, drains, returns, and transition areas
Applying the new pool finish
Filling the pool
Initial water balancing and startup guidance
Inspecting the finished surface
Every pool is different. We inspect the existing condition before recommending a resurfacing approach or providing final pricing.
Traditional pool plaster provides a clean, smooth finish and remains one of the most common options for resurfacing residential swimming pools.
It can be a good choice when the existing pool surface has become:
Before new plaster is applied, the existing surface is evaluated and properly prepared so the new finish can bond correctly.
The final appearance and longevity depend on proper installation, startup, and ongoing water chemistry.
Quartz and exposed aggregate finishes offer additional texture, color, and durability compared with traditional white plaster.
These finishes are available in a range of looks and can give the pool a more customized appearance while providing a durable swimming surface.
Aggregate resurfacing may be a good option for homeowners looking for:
The right finish depends on the pool design, desired appearance, budget, and how the pool is used.
A successful resurfacing project starts with proper preparation.
Before installing a new finish, we inspect the pool for areas that may need additional attention, including:
Minor surface defects can often be addressed as part of resurfacing preparation.
Structural cracks, plumbing leaks, movement, or significant shell damage may require additional repair before resurfacing begins. If we find something outside the scope of normal resurfacing, we’ll explain it before moving forward.
We Start With the Existing Surface
Resurfacing is not just about covering an old finish. We inspect the condition of the existing pool first so we can identify problems that should be addressed before a new surface is installed.
We Explain Your Options
Different finishes have different appearances, textures, maintenance needs, and price points. We’ll help you understand the differences so you can choose the option that makes sense for your pool.
We Set Realistic Expectations
A new surface can dramatically improve a worn pool, but resurfacing does not automatically correct every structural, plumbing, or equipment issue.
If something needs separate repair, we’ll let you know.
We Pay Attention to Water Chemistry
New pool finishes require proper startup and water balance. Incorrect chemistry during the early curing period can affect the appearance and longevity of the surface.

Resurfacing replaces or renews the interior finish of the swimming pool.
It can help correct:
* Rough pool surfaces
* Worn plaster
* Surface discoloration
* Persistent staining
* Pitting
* Surface erosion
* Aging or outdated finishes
* Minor cosmetic surface defects
Resurfacing does not necessarily correct:
* Active plumbing leaks
* Structural movement
* Major shell cracks
* Broken underground plumbing
* Damaged coping
* Loose or failing tile
* Equipment problems
* Deck cracking
* Drainage problems around the pool
If the pool has structural or mechanical issues, those may need to be repaired separately before or during the resurfacing project.
Pool surfaces gradually wear down from age, water chemistry, brushing, weather, and normal use.
Some common signs include:
* The surface feels increasingly rough
* Plaster is flaking, pitting, or deteriorating
* Stains no longer respond to normal cleaning
* The finish looks faded or uneven
* Bare or worn areas begin appearing
* Swimmers notice rough areas on their feet
* The pool becomes increasingly difficult to keep looking clean
Not every stain or rough spot means the entire pool needs resurfacing.
We can inspect the surface and help determine whether cleaning, localized repair, or full resurfacing makes the most sense.
Pool resurfacing is quoted individually because cost depends on several factors, including:
* Pool size
* Pool shape
* Existing surface condition
* Amount of preparation required
* Type of new finish
* Steps, benches, and ledges
* Attached spas
* Water features
* Repairs required before resurfacing
* Access to the pool area
We’ll inspect the pool and provide a quote based on the actual scope of work.
Pool resurfacing pricing depends on the size and shape of the pool, existing surface condition, amount of preparation required, finish selected, attached spa or water features, and any repairs needed before resurfacing. We inspect the pool before providing a final quote.
Common signs include rough plaster, pitting, flaking, persistent staining, fading, exposed areas, or a surface that has become uncomfortable to walk or swim against. An inspection can help determine whether resurfacing or a less extensive repair is appropriate.
The timeline depends on the size of the pool, condition of the existing surface, repairs required, finish selected, weather, and curing requirements. We’ll provide an estimated schedule after inspecting the pool.
Yes. Pool resurfacing normally requires the pool to be drained so the existing surface can be properly inspected, prepared, and refinished.
The best finish depends on your budget, preferred appearance, texture, durability expectations, and pool design. Traditional plaster, quartz, and aggregate finishes each have different characteristics.
Minor surface cracks may sometimes be addressed during preparation. Structural cracks or movement can require additional repair before resurfacing. We inspect the pool first to determine what type of repair may be necessary.
Resurfacing replaces the existing finish, so stains contained within the old surface are removed along with it. However, the conditions that caused staining—such as metals or poor water balance—should also be addressed to help prevent future discoloration.
The lifespan depends on the finish, installation quality, water chemistry, maintenance, and use. Maintaining properly balanced water is one of the most important factors in protecting a new pool surface.
New surfaces typically require a startup process that includes careful water balancing and brushing during the initial curing period. We’ll explain the required startup care for the finish installed.
Yes. Resurfacing is an opportunity to change the appearance of the pool. Depending on the finish selected, you may have options for different colors, textures, and aggregate combinations.
Yes. Attached spas can generally be resurfaced along with the swimming pool. They are included in the project scope and estimate based on their size and condition.
No. Pool resurfacing is available as a standalone service. You do not need to sign up for weekly pool maintenance.
If your pool finish is rough, stained, worn, or simply showing its age, resurfacing can dramatically improve how the pool looks and feels.
We’ll inspect the existing surface, discuss your options, and provide a clear estimate based on the condition of your pool and the finish you choose.

Your full weekly service — skim, brush, vacuum, empty baskets, check equipment, and balance your water using professional digital testing.
Pool turned into a swamp? We bring green, cloudy, neglected pools back to crystal clear — the right way, with a real treatment plan instead of guesswork.
A dirty filter quietly wrecks your water quality and runs up your energy bill. Deep-clean your filter so your system flows the way it’s supposed to and your water stays clear between visits.
Pool equipment problems can quickly turn into poor circulation, cloudy water, or a pool that won’t heat. We diagnose pumps, filters, valves, automation, salt systems, and heaters.
Calcium buildup can make clean pool tile look old and neglected. Professional tile cleaning removes stubborn scale and restores a cleaner, brighter waterline.
A worn pool surface can make the entire pool look tired. Resurfacing restores a smoother, cleaner finish and gives the pool a fresh new look.
Professional service built around consistency and care.
