Pool resurfacing timeline

Resurfacing pool may vary in its timeline depending on several factors, including size of pool, chosen material for resurfacing, extent of repairs needed and contractor availability; here’s an approximate timeline:

1. Planning and Preparation: This stage includes researching, selecting, obtaining estimates from pool resurfacing contractors and finalizing project details. The duration of this phase can depend on individual circumstances as well as how quickly decisions need to be made.

2. Prepare the Pool: Prior to beginning any resurfacing works, the pool must first be drained, cleaned and prepared – this typically involves removing old surface material, making any necessary repairs, and ensuring proper drainage and plumbing are in place. Depending on its complexity, this phase could last anywhere between one day and several weeks.

3. Resurfacing Process: The actual resurfacing process entails applying the selected material to the pool surface. The duration of this phase varies based on factors like the size and complexity of material chosen as well as weather conditions; on average it usually lasts a few days to several weeks.

4. Curing and Drying Time: After the resurfacing material has been applied, it must have ample time to cure and dry completely. Depending on its composition and its curing time can vary; usually from several days up to several weeks are needed before fully curing and drying is achieved.

5. Refilling and Startup: After the resurfacing material has set and dried, the pool can be filled back up with water for refilling and start-up purposes. The start-up phase involves balancing water chemistry levels, adjusting equipment settings as necessary and making sure everything functions as intended – an extended process which often takes several days.

Note that these timelines are approximate and may change based on your individual project circumstances, including weather conditions, unexpected repairs or additional customizations that might extend its timeline. It is advisable to speak to your pool resurfacing contractor directly for more accurate estimates on your specific task.
