Resurfacing
Once your pool has been sufficiently repaired and had its condition restored to the point where it is no longer structurally insecure then comes the next stage which is to replace the worn out or faded surface of the pool itself with an attractive and eye-catching replacement that not only looks great but also protects the pool from the corroding effects of the water and ensures that the water does not leak out, improving the efficiency and rate of which you have to refill your pool.

You can go for a simple pool plaster and paint finish that is cheap and looks pretty good however it will not last as long as a tiled pool. Whereas the aforementioned tiled pool will last a number years longer than the plaster. It is far more expensive to have done and will take a specialist pool renovator to undertake the work.
