Pebble Tec is a premium pool surfacing material that combines small pebbles of different colors, sizes, and smooth shapes. These pebbles are harvested from riverbeds, beaches, and quarries all around the world and blended with cement-like binders. The result—visually striking surfaces that look like a riverbed and feel natural underfoot.
The following are the top reasons that make Pebble Tec a great choice for custom swimming pools:
Add an inviting natural tranquillity to your space.
Can last up to 20 years or more, with proper maintenance.
Highly resistant to stains, etching, abrasion, and chemical imbalances.
A non-slip surface means you don’t need to worry about slips and falls. Just enjoy endless fun poolside days!
Because they are highly resistant to staining, algae growth, and chemical damage, Pebble Tec surfaces require less maintenance and repairs than plaster surfaces. So, it’s a low-maintenance choice!
Less maintenance, minimal repairs, longevity, and durability mean notable savings in the long term.
When it comes to pool resurfacing—Pebble Tec or any other finish—the following are the key factors that affect the overall cost:
There are four types of Pebble Tech finishes, including Pebble Tec, Pebble Sheen, Pebble Fina, and Pebble Brilliance. Pebble Fina is more affordable, while Pebble Brilliance is the most expensive choice for pool resurfacing. But Pebble Fina is less recommended because it’s not as durable and long-lasting as the other three.
We highly recommend the Pebble Tec finish because it’s beautiful, affordable, highly durable, and long-lasting. The only difference between Pebble Tec and Pebble Brilliance is that the former uses larger natural pebbles, while the latter also combines glass beads for a sparkling, light-reflective look.
The larger the pool, the higher the cost. Likewise, pools in complex shapes with multiple custom features and curved surfaces increase the project cost. For example, resurfacing a standard rectangular pool is less expensive than freeform designs because of its straightforward dimensions and easier process.
The existing condition of your pool’s surface directly affects the amount of preparation required. A well-maintained pool requires fewer preparatory expenses. On the other hand, pools with cracks, hollow spots, or delamination require repair before resurfacing. Severely deteriorated pools often require complete removal from the existing surface to prepare them for resurfacing.
Labor cost typically ranges between $45 and $65, depending on the job’s complexity.
Features like custom tile mosaics and artistic designs, glass beads, abalone shells, and glow-in-the-dark accents also raise the price because of the extra work and material involved. Many people choose custom features and add-ons to increase the texture and beauty of their pools, increasing the appeal and value of their space.
Besides cracks, discoloration, and delamination, your pool may need repairs like stain removal, leaks, pump issues, filter problems, liner damage, and more.
During the summer season, the higher demand for pool resurfacing drives up prices. You can save money by scheduling the project during the off-season.
The good news is that you can get your pool construction and resurfacing project 100% financed. So, the cost should not be the reason for depriving you of owning your dream pool. Explore your pool financing options in South Florida and get ready for endless enjoyment and family memories right in your backyard—without breaking the bank.

While plaster surfaces are more affordable, Pebble Tec pool finishes are much more durable, beautiful, and long-lasting. Pebble Tec also needs fewer repairs and maintenance. So, they are worth your investment in the long run.
Pebble Tec pools should not be left empty without water for more than 3-4 days. Prolonged exposure to the sun without water can cause cracks on the surface.
Acid wash can lead to the speedy degradation of the pebble surface. So, we recommend a chlorine wash or a power wash. You can use a gentle stain remover for stubborn stains.
