Resurfacing
Renewing a pool's worn interior finish — replastering, a new pebble surface, or a vinyl-liner swap — typically needed every 10–20 years.
Resurfacing replaces the interior finish once it has stained, etched, cracked, or roughened with age. For gunite pools that means draining and applying fresh plaster, pebble, or tile; for vinyl-liner pools it means installing a new liner.
Timing depends on the finish: plaster may need it in 7–15 years, pebble in 15–25, while liners are swapped every 7–12. It's the biggest recurring capital cost of pool ownership, which is why the upfront finish choice has long-term budget consequences.
