Why Invest in Pool Refinishing?

Over time, pool surfaces deteriorate from exposure to chemicals, sun, and everyday use. A proper pool refinishing not only makes your pool look like new—it also protects it from long-term structural damage. At D&R Pool Service, we do more than patch things up. We resurface your pool with expert technique and premium materials to ensure lasting results.

  • Full Bond Kote application for strong adhesion

  • Removal of all hollow or weak areas before refinishing

  • Skilled trowel work for an even, flawless surface

  • Final acid wash for vibrant, clean finish

Our thorough approach sets us apart in the pool refinishing industry—and it shows in the results.

Finish Options for Your Pool Refinishing

We offer two high-quality surface options during your resurfacing project:

Marble Dust Finish

  • Traditional smooth look in white, blue, and grey tones

  • Typically lasts 7–10 years with proper care

  • Prone to staining or mottling if not installed correctly

Diamond Brite® Quartz Aggregate Finish

  • Enhanced durability: lasts 12–15+ years

  • Luxurious texture with quartz sparkle and rich color

  • Better resistance to chemical wear and uneven fading

Whether you choose a classic marble dust finish or a modern quartz blend, we ensure your pool is finished to the highest standard.

Preventing Common Refinishing Issues

One of the most common problems with refinishing is mottling—patchy or uneven surface coloration caused by improper application or poor curing. D&R Pool Service eliminates this risk by:

  • Using consistent plaster mix and application methods

  • Carefully monitoring the curing process

  • Managing water chemistry to avoid etching or scaling

We take every step to ensure your refinished pool results in a smooth, even, and durable surface.

Things to know

Empty Pool

Pool resurfacing requires your swimming pool to be emptied. Re-filling can take an additional 24+ hours after the project depending on your pool size. There is also the option of having your pool filled faster with a water truck.

Multiple Visits

Performing a pool resurfacing will take more than a few days, requiring emptying, resurfacing, filling, and aftercare. This process also requires multiple people performing the job to prevent the plaster from settling too quickly.

Surface Care

This project must be scheduled during the right weather to avoid damage. After resurfacing your pool, a curing and maintenance will be required, and certain chemicals can not be added immediately. The walls must be brushed every couple of days.

Water & Electric

We will need outside water access for the cleaning process. Electric is also needed for any pumps, machinery, and tools.

Locked Access

For property ease of access - if you will not be home, please provide us with any access keys, codes, or instructions for your specified entrance areas. We will always re-lock anything and secure any entryways as if we were never there.

Skilled Trade

Never attempt pool resurfacing yourself. It must be done by an experienced professional. We take preventative measures, and pay attention to detail for an extended surface life.

Pool Resurfacing and Pool Marble Dusting Information

We never recommend marble dusting your own pool. Leave it to the pool professionals at D&R. It takes a team of experience professionals working quickly and diligently to ensure the surface is smooth and cures properly. We can help you choose from several styles, textures, and combinations to create that perfect look.
Variety of looks, variety of material choice, new swimming pool look, and no more rough surfaces.
Required pool chemicals degrade the swimming pool's surface over time. Environmental factors can also have a great impact on the pool surface's longevity.
D&R Pool Services highly recommends resurfacing your swimming pool after 10 years or when you feel there needs to be a change. Especially if the surface is starting to crack or looks cosmetically unsettling. Injuries can occur from chipped and sharp edges; if there are safety hazards we recommend a pool resurfacing as soon as possible - to avoid serious cuts to swimmers.
Marble Dusting is the protective layer on a gunite pool covering the substrate, or the gunite/shotcrete underneath. It is a bond-coat treated material that lasts for years and must be done by a professional. There are pleasant designs and various textures that can fit your needs.

Pool Resurfacing Process

Steps we take for a marble dusting
Choose Your Surface
Choose from a variety of colors and surface types from Diamond Brite; with years of proved durability and longevity - to compliment the look of your swimming pool.
Drain Pool And/Or Spa
We will carefully drain your pool and/or spa to a designated discharge location on your property only.
The Cleaning
Your gunite pool or spa will be pressure washed, and then have the old plaster shell chipped away via jackhammers and other machinery; followed by disposing of all the old material. Afterwards, patching and repairing any damage will take place.
Marble Dusting
Your new top coat will be applied to the swimming pool or spa.
Fill With Water
Re-fill your swimming pool or spa and get the equipment running again. Re-filling can take an additional 24+ hours depending on your pool size and will require multiple visits - to start up the pool and balance the chemicals. There is also the option of filling it faster with a water truck at an additional charge.
Chemical Balancing, Brushing, And After Care
Thoroughly balance and maintain 7 parameters of your pool's chemicals to APSP and ANSI standards. We are experienced in various size pools and can calculate the gallons and chemical requirements for all pools.

We will also need to provide aftercare brush the pool every couple of days - for at least 2 weeks to prevent calcium buildup and surface longevity.
