Specialty · Builds by Pools by Dip

Replaster, retile,
or a full ground-up renovation.

Plaster cracks, tile falls off, coping spalls, the structural side of pool ownership eventually catches up. We coordinate resurfacing, tile, coping, and Deck-O-Seal mastic work through our build team, Pools by Dip, and we handle the chemistry restart that comes with a fresh surface.

From book to done

What actually happens once you hit send.

01 — Joint assessment

Dip handles surface and structure; we handle equipment, plumbing, and chemistry. One visit, two specialists, one quote.

02 — Quote + scheduling

Resurfacing jobs schedule 4–10 weeks out depending on season. Spring (Mar–Apr) and fall (Sep–Oct) are the right windows in Utah.

03 — Tear-out + resurface

Dip crew handles the surface work — 5–14 days on-site depending on scope. We monitor equipment-pad during the work for plumbing tie-ins.

04 — Refill + chemistry restart

Critical 30-day window — fresh plaster cures into the water. We dose carefully, brush daily for the first week, and hold acid/scale balance to protect the new surface.

FAQ

The questions we get for this one.

Why doesn't the service crew do the resurfacing?
Resurfacing is a specialized construction trade, different from service. Our build team operates under the Pools by Dip banner and is the right crew for it. Same company, coordinated as one job, you get one quote and two specialists.
How often does a pool need to be resurfaced in Utah?
Plaster: 10–20 years typical, sometimes shorter in hard-water Utah. Pebble/aggregate: 15–25 years. Vinyl liner: 8–12 years (different service — see liner-replacement).
What's the difference between plaster and pebble?
Plaster: smooth white finish, cheapest, 10–15 year typical lifespan. Pebble (Pebble Tec, etc.): aggregate finish, longer-lasting (15–25 years), more visually interesting, 50–80% more expensive at install.
Can I just patch the cracks?
Cosmetic plaster cracks can be patched ($200–$600 per crack). Structural cracks (deeper than 1/4 inch, leaking, expanding) usually mean the structural shell is failing — that's a different conversation, not a patch.
Will my pool be out of service for the whole summer?
No — well-scheduled resurfacing takes 2–4 weeks pool-out window. Done right (March or September), the pool is back before peak summer use.
