If you love your pool, you know how important it is to keep it looking and feeling great. Over time, even the best pools can show signs of wear, rough surfaces, stains, cracks, or faded color. That’s why resurfacing is so important. Resurfacing not only restores your pool’s beauty but also improves safety and extends its life.
One of the best options for pool resurfacing today is Pebble Tec. It’s a high-quality finish made from natural pebbles and cement, giving your pool a beautiful, long-lasting surface. Whether you’re building a new pool or remodelling an old one, Pebble Tec can completely transform the look and feel of your backyard.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through the full Pebble Tec pool resurfacing process, explain why it’s a great choice, and show why Epic Watershapes is the right team for the job.
Pebble Tec is a type of pool finish made from natural river pebbles mixed with a cement-based coating. This combination creates a smooth but slightly textured surface that’s safe to walk on, resistant to chemicals, and built to last.
One of the great things about Pebble Tec is the variety of colours and styles available. You can pick from natural earth tones, bright colours, or blends that give your pool a unique look. This makes it easy to match your pool to your home, landscape, or personal taste.
Compared to traditional plaster, Pebble Tec is stronger, more durable, and resistant to cracks and rough patches. Once applied, it can stay beautiful for 15–20 years or more with proper care.
There are many benefits to choosing Pebble Tec, whether you’re remodelling an old pool or building a new one. Here’s why it’s a top choice:
