Fiberglass Resurfacing Process

Fiberglass Coating Layers
  1. Pool Preparation
    We prepare the pool by grinding and smoothing the surface to remove contaminants. Then, we fill in all cracks and voids and cut seal lines around all fittings and accessories.
  2. Resin Bond Coat
    After preparing the surface, the resin bond coat is applied. The resin bond coat creates the strongest cohesion possible.
  3. Resin Application
    Next, we carefully apply the first coat of fiberglass resin that bonds to the pool’s surface. Our special resin stays flexible. This reduces the likelihood of separating, shrinking or warping. Beware of companies who use inferior resins: Most are not formulated for use in the chemically treated aquatic environment.
  4. Fiberglass Mat
    Then a layer of 1 1/2 ounce of Owens-Corning fiberglass mat is hand-laid while the first layer of resin is still damp. Hand-laid mat provides consistent thickness and color, giving important strength and flexibility to the finished product.
  5. Resin Application
    The third layer of fiberglass resin is applied. Special tools are used to smooth the fiberglass coating to conform to the contours of the surface, force out air pockets and combine all the layers into one powerful surface.
  6. Gel Coat
    Finally, after the surface is sanded to remove any sharp points, we apply a final layer of resin, giving the surface its smooth, non-porous finish.

12-24 hours after the final step we do a final clean and refill the pool.
