Your Pool Surface Works Hard — Eventually It Shows
Every pool surface has a lifespan. Standard white plaster typically lasts 7 to 12 years before it starts to etch, stain, and feel rough underfoot. Quartz and pebble finishes last longer, but even those eventually need attention. In Tennessee's climate — with freeze-thaw cycles in winter and intense summer use — surfaces tend to age on the faster end of that range.
When it's time, pool resurfacing in Knoxville TN is one of the most cost-effective ways to dramatically improve your pool. The shell stays. Everything you interact with — the surface you swim against, look at, and feel — gets replaced. The result is a pool that looks and feels brand new at a fraction of the cost of building a new one.
We resurface inground pools throughout Knox County, Farragut, Maryville, and Oak Ridge. We offer a full range of finishes from standard white plaster to quartz aggregate, pebble tec, and glass bead options. At your free estimate, we'll look at your pool's current condition and help you pick the right finish for your budget and how long you want it to last.
If you're not sure whether your pool needs resurfacing or something more involved, call (865) 415-4093 and we'll give you an honest assessment at no charge.

finish options
Pool Resurfacing Finishes We Offer in Knoxville TN
Not all pool surfaces are equal. Here's a straightforward breakdown of your options.
MOST AFFORDABLE
7-12 YEARS
White Plaster
The classic pool finish. White plaster gives your pool a clean, bright look and is the most budget-friendly resurfacing option. It does require more attention to water chemistry to prevent staining and etching, and it has the shortest lifespan of the options available. A solid choice if budget is the primary concern.
MID-RANGE
12-17 YEARS
Quartz Aggregate
Quartz aggregate finishes mix crushed quartz into the plaster for a surface that's significantly more durable, stain-resistant, and attractive than standard white plaster. Available in a range of colors. This is our most popular recommendation — the durability-to-cost ratio is excellent for most Knoxville homeowners.
PREMIUM
20+ YEARS
Pebble Tec / Pebble Fina
The premium choice for pool resurfacing. Pebble finishes embed small river pebbles into the surface for a natural, textured look that's beautiful, extremely durable, and highly resistant to staining and chemical damage. The longest-lasting surface option available. Costs more upfront but often the best value over the long term.
PREMIUM
15-20 YEARS
Glass Bead Finish
Glass bead finishes add recycled glass beads to the plaster mix, creating a surface that shimmers and catches light beautifully. Smooth to the touch, very durable, and available in a wide range of colors that produce stunning water color effects. A popular choice for homeowners who want their pool to make a visual statement.
HIGHEST INVESTMENT
25+ YEARS
Full Tile Interior
A full tile interior is the most durable and visually striking option available. Smooth, easy to clean, and virtually maintenance-free. Common in commercial pools and high-end residential builds. The upfront cost is significantly higher than other finishes, but the lifespan is unmatched. We install full tile interiors for homeowners who want the absolute best.

DIAGNOSE YOUR POOL
Signs Your Pool Needs Resurfacing
Most Knoxville pool owners wait longer than they should. Here's what to look for.
😖
Rough Surface
If the pool floor and walls feel scratchy or abrasive on bare feet, the plaster has deteriorated past the point of maintenance.
🟤
Persistent Staining
Stains that don't respond to brushing or chemical treatment are usually etched into the plaster itself, a sign it's time for a new surface.
🕳️
Pitting & Etching
Visible pits, divots, or an overall rough texture in the plaster surface indicates chemical etching, the plaster is breaking down.
⬜
Chalky White Residue
Plaster dust in the water or a chalky white film on the surface means plaster is dissolving into the water. It needs to come off.
🔵
Discoloration
A pool surface that's gone from bright white to gray, blue-gray, or blotchy has aged beyond what water chemistry can fix.
📅
Over 10 Years Old
If your plaster is more than 10 years old and you haven't had it assessed, it's worth a free look, even if it seems okay on the surface.
how it works
Our Pool Resurfacing Process
From draining to your first swim — here's exactly what happens when we resurface your Knoxville pool.
01
Free Estimate
We assess your pool's current surface, discuss finish options, and give you a detailed written quote before anything starts.
02
Drain & Prep
We drain the pool and chip off the existing plaster down to the shell. The surface is cleaned, inspected, and prepped for the new finish.
03
Bond Coat
A bond coat is applied to the shell to ensure the new surface adheres properly and performs as expected over its full lifespan.
04
New Surface Applied
Your chosen finish is applied by our experienced crew. Plaster work requires speed and skill, we do it right the first time.
05
Refill & Startup
We refill the pool immediately after plastering and begin the startup process, balancing chemistry as the plaster cures over 1 to 2 weeks.
06
Care Instructions
We walk you through startup care, brushing schedule, chemical targets, what to watch for, so your new surface cures properly and lasts as long as possible.

Common questions
Pool Resurfacing FAQ's - Knoxville, TN
Got questions before deciding on your pool's new surface? Here's what Knoxville homeowners ask us most. If you don't see your answer here, give us a call for a straight, honest recommendation.
How much does pool resurfacing cost in Knoxville TN?
Typically $6,000–$15,000 depending on pool size and finish. White plaster is the most affordable. Quartz and pebble tec cost more but last significantly longer. We provide a free itemized estimate after assessing your pool. Call (865) 415-4093.
How long does pool resurfacing last in Tennessee?
White plaster lasts 7–12 years. Quartz aggregate lasts 12–17 years. Pebble tec can last 20+ years with proper water chemistry. Longevity depends heavily on maintaining balanced water chemistry year-round through our seasonal freeze-thaw cycles.
How do I know if my pool needs resurfacing?
Look for rough patches that scratch feet, persistent staining, visible pitting or etching, chalky white residue in the water, or surface discoloration. If your plaster is more than 10 years old, it's worth a free assessment to check its integrity.
What is the best pool resurfacing material?
It depends on your budget and desired lifespan. White plaster is the most affordable but replaced most often. Quartz aggregate offers the best mid-range value and durability. Pebble tec lasts the longest but costs more upfront. We walk you through the tradeoffs during your free estimate.
How long does the resurfacing process take?
Once work begins, the physical resurfacing typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, depending on weather and the finish chosen. Plastering itself is fast, but prep work, bonding, and the initial curing and chemical balancing phase take careful time.
