Pool replastering is perhaps the most transformative maintenance procedure your swimming pool will ever undergo. Beyond aesthetic improvement, replastering addresses surface deterioration that can damage your pool’s structural integrity if left unaddressed. As Thousand Oaks’ premier pool renovation specialists, we offer a comprehensive approach to surface restoration that enhances both appearance and longevity.
The traditional white plaster that lined many pools throughout Thousand Oaks neighborhoods like Dos Vientos and Newbury Park typically lasts 7-10 years before showing signs of deterioration. When etching, scaling, or discoloration becomes evident, it’s time to consider replastering. Our process begins with a thorough preparation of the existing surface—removing the old plaster layer, addressing any structural issues in the underlying gunite, and creating the optimal foundation for your new surface material.
Today’s homeowners have far more options than the basic white plaster of years past. Our selection includes:
Quartz-Based Finishes: Combining cement with quartz aggregates creates a more durable surface with subtle texture and dimensional color that resists staining and chemical erosion—ideal for Thousand Oaks pools where mineral content in water can affect traditional plaster.
Pebble Finishes: These premium surfaces blend smooth river pebbles with cement, creating a natural, variegated appearance that’s exceptionally durable. The textured surface is gentle on feet while offering superior longevity—often lasting twice as long as traditional plaster.
Glass Bead Blends: For contemporary pools, these innovative finishes incorporate recycled glass beads that catch and reflect light, creating a distinctive sparkle effect particularly stunning in pools with LED lighting installations.
Colored Plaster: Enhanced with pigments that are mixed throughout the material (not just surface-applied), these options allow for customized pool aesthetics that complement your landscape design and home architecture.
Each finish type offers different aesthetic and performance characteristics, and our experts will guide you through selecting the option that best suits both your design preferences and practical considerations. We particularly consider Thousand Oaks’ water chemistry and the intense Southern California sun when recommending finishes that will maintain their beauty with minimal maintenance.
Beyond the surface material itself, replastering provides an opportunity to address waterline tile, coping, and other details that define your pool’s appearance. Many of our Thousand Oaks clients choose to update these elements simultaneously, creating a comprehensively refreshed pool environment.
