Burbank Pool Builders resurfaces and replasters gunite pools across the east San Fernando Valley and the hillside-adjacent neighborhoods of Los Angeles. When the interior finish turns rough, stained, or thin, resurfacing restores the surface and protects the shell beneath it. We drain, inspect the shell, prep properly, and refinish in plaster, quartz, or pebble that is built to last.

What a worn interior is telling you
A pool interior is a working surface, not a permanent one. Year after year of water and chemistry wears the plaster thin, etches it, stains it, and eventually lets it start to fail. Once the finish breaks down it is no longer just a cosmetic issue, because that surface is what keeps water from reaching the gunite shell underneath. On our lots, where the shell is the structural answer to a slope, protecting it matters even more.
The signs are easy to read once you know them: a rough or chalky feel underfoot, staining that no amount of cleaning removes, visible thin spots where the surface has worn through, and small cracks or plaster pop-offs. When several show up at once, the pool is due for resurfacing.
Resurfacing on a sensible schedule is far cheaper than letting a failed surface expose the shell. Catching it in the right window keeps a planned cosmetic job from turning into a structural repair.
How we resurface, prep first
Resurfacing well is mostly about what happens before the new finish goes on. We drain the pool, then inspect the bare shell, which on a sloped lot is also a chance to confirm the structure is still sound. We remove failed material and address any cracks or hollow spots so the new finish bonds to a solid base. Skipping that prep is precisely how a cheap resurface fails within a season.
Once the shell is prepped, we apply the finish you choose. Standard plaster is the proven, economical option. Quartz and pebble cost more up front but resist staining and wear better and last longer. We lay out the real trade-offs and let you pick what suits your pool and your plans.
Because the pool is already drained, it is the natural time to replace tired waterline tile. We finish, refill, balance the water, and walk you through caring for the new surface so it lasts its full life.
Choosing finishes that age well
The value in a resurface is in how long it holds, so we use quality materials and proper application rather than the cheapest possible coat. A well-prepped, well-applied interior gives you years of a smooth, clean surface; a rushed one starts failing again almost immediately.
We help you weigh plaster against quartz and pebble honestly, with real numbers on cost and lifespan, so the choice fits how long you intend to keep the pool. The right finish is the one that suits your pool and your budget, not the biggest ticket on the menu.
