PebbleTec, QuartzScapes, and standard white plaster. We restore your pool's surface to like-new condition — and make it better than it was before.
GET A FREE REPLASTER QUOTEHouston's combination of intense UV, high humidity, alkaline groundwater, and temperature swings creates one of the most demanding environments for pool surfaces in the country. Most pool plaster in the Houston area shows significant wear by the 8–10 year mark — staining, etching, rough texture, and in some cases visible cracking.
A fresh plaster surface doesn't just look better — it protects the structural shell of your pool, improves water chemistry stability, and makes the pool easier to maintain. Rhino Pool Pros handles the full replaster process: drain, acid wash, surface prep, new plaster application, refill, and chemistry startup.
Classic bright white finish. Smooth texture, easy to clean. Best for budget-conscious renovations. Lifespan: 7–10 years in Houston.
Quartz aggregate mixed into plaster for improved durability, stain resistance, and a subtle sparkle. Available in multiple colors. Lifespan: 12–15 years.
Natural pebbles create a rich, resort-quality texture. Most durable finish available. Excellent stain resistance. Lifespan: 15–20 years.
Glass beads create a shimmering, jewel-like surface that reflects light beautifully. The premium choice for luxury pools. Lifespan: 15–20 years.
A complete replaster takes 5–7 days from drain to swim. Here's exactly what happens at each stage.
We drain the pool completely and inspect the shell for structural cracks, delamination, or bond beam damage. Any structural repairs are completed before the new surface goes on.
The existing plaster is acid-washed to remove calcium deposits, algae staining, and surface contaminants. The shell is then chipped and roughened to ensure the new plaster bonds properly.
Our experienced plaster crew applies the new surface in a single continuous application. Consistency of thickness and timing is critical — this is where craftsmanship matters most.
We refill the pool and manage the critical first 28-day chemistry startup period. Proper startup chemistry is essential to the longevity of any plaster finish.
Most Houston homeowners wait too long to replaster. By the time the surface is visibly rough or stained, the underlying plaster has often been compromised for years. Catching the warning signs early saves money — a timely replaster is significantly less expensive than repairing a pool that's been neglected to the point of structural damage.
We replaster pools throughout Greater Houston — including Katy, The Woodlands, Cypress, Sugar Land, Pearland, Humble, and Tomball.
Many homeowners choose to combine a replaster with other renovation work — since the pool is already drained, the incremental cost of additional improvements is significantly lower than doing them separately. Common additions include new coping, updated waterline tile, and equipment upgrades.
Most pool plaster in Houston lasts 7–15 years depending on the finish type and water chemistry maintenance. Standard white plaster typically lasts 7–10 years. Pebble and quartz finishes last 12–20 years. Houston's alkaline water and intense UV accelerate surface degradation.
Standard white plaster is a smooth, bright white surface that's the most affordable option. PebbleTec and similar pebble finishes use natural pebbles mixed into the plaster for a more textured, natural look with significantly better durability and stain resistance.
The replastering process itself takes 1–2 days. Including draining, surface preparation, and the 28-day curing/startup period, the full process takes about 3–4 weeks before the pool is ready for regular use.
Pool replastering in Houston typically costs $5,000–$15,000 depending on pool size and finish type. Standard white plaster is the most affordable. Pebble and quartz finishes cost more but last significantly longer.
