Replastering is a fresh plaster layer over a prepared shell. Resurfacing also covers quartz and pebble. What a 1970s Phoenix pool can take.

Quartz is smooth with crushed stone through the surface, pebble is exposed river stone. How each outlasts plain plaster in a Phoenix pool.

Resurfacing replaces the finish on the pool you already have. A new pool means demolition, excavation, permits, and a full.

Both pools run on the same chlorine. Where it comes from, what the salt cell does to the finish, and what Phoenix sun changes about it.
