A backyard swimming pool provides hours of enjoyment for your family and friends during the hot summer months. With regular maintenance, the pool can last for decades. However, pool plastering can break down over time, making the pool less attractive or even unsafe. Here are a few signs that it’s time to have it resurfaced.

How to Tell if You Need New Pool Plastering 

1. Falling Water Levels

It’s normal for your pool to lose some water over the course of the summer due to evaporation and splashing. If you have to add water more often than usual, or the water level is dropping faster than it typically does, it’s likely that you have a leak.

Leaks can be caused by cracks in the plaster brought on by plaster fatigue or loose fittings. If this is the case, replacing the pool plastering will prevent the problem from worsening and keep the water level from dropping.

2. Rough Spots

3. Stains 

Stains on the plaster are more than just unattractive. They can hide bigger issues, like cracks and algae blooms, that make the pool unsafe. When stains can’t be scrubbed away, replacing the plaster gets rid of them and addresses underlying issues.
