Cracks, Stains, and Rough Surfaces: What Your Pool is Telling You

If you live in the Dallas/

Fort Worth area and own a pool, chances are it has seen a few Texas summers. Just like your home needs upkeep, so does your pool. But how do you know when it’s time for a full resurfacing instead of a quick patch job?

At Plaster People LLC, we specialize in bringing worn out pools back to life. Here are the most common signs it might be time to give us a call.

1. Visible Cracks or Chips

If your plaster is cracking or chipping, that’s more than a cosmetic issue. It can lead to water leaks, structural damage, and costly repairs. A few hairline cracks might not seem like a big deal, but they usually get worse fast in the Texas heat.

2. Rough or Flaky Surfaces

When your pool feels like sandpaper underfoot, it’s time to resurface. Rough plaster can cause scrapes on feet and is a clear sign the surface is breaking down.

3. Discoloration or Staining

Calcium buildup, algae, and mineral deposits from our local water can leave stubborn stains. If your pool has turned from sky blue to swamp green or rusty brown, resurfacing can restore its clean look.

4. Leaks or Unexplained Water Loss

Losing more than an inch of water per week? It might not be evaporation. Cracks in the plaster can cause hidden leaks, leading to sky high water bills and underground damage.

5. Outdated or Ugly Appearance

Sometimes it’s not about damage it’s just time for a refresh. If your pool looks stuck in the 90s, we can help modernize it with new surfaces, tile, and coping.
