Most pool owners know replastering is something they will eventually need to do. But life gets busy, and it is easy to push it off another season. At Boswell Pool Plastering, we see this all the time.
So what happens if you don’t replaster your pool on time? More than you might expect.
The Surface Gets Rough and Uncomfortable
Old plaster turns rough as it breaks down. That rough texture scratches skin, damages swimsuits, and makes the pool genuinely unpleasant to use. Kids especially notice it fast.
Water Chemistry Becomes Harder to Control
Worn plaster is porous. It absorbs chemicals unevenly and makes balancing your water much harder. You end up spending more on chemicals trying to fix a problem that is really a surface issue.
Staining Gets Worse Over Time
Old, deteriorating plaster stains easily — and those stains go deep. What starts as surface discoloration becomes permanent over time. At that point, no amount of acid washing fully fixes it.
Small Problems Turn Into Big Repairs
Cracks in plaster let water reach the concrete shell underneath. Over time that causes structural damage — spalling, shifting, and in serious cases, leaks. Catching it early means a straightforward replaster job. Waiting too long can mean a full structural repair, which costs significantly more.
