Understanding Pool Resurfacing in Texas

The $43,900 Problem Texas Homeowners Face

Pool resurfacing is the process of applying new surface material to a deteriorating pool interior. In North Texas, harsh weather and clay soil movement mean pools require resurfacing every 7-10 years using traditional methods like plaster, marcite, or pebble finishes.


Traditional resurfacing materials—plaster, marcite, pebble, quartz—provide temporary solutions that fail predictably. Each replastering investment of $8,000-$15,000 deteriorates within the decade, creating an endless cycle that costs Texas homeowners $43,900 over 20 years.


Why Traditional Resurfacing Continuously Fails in Texas

Four critical factors guarantee traditional resurfacing failure across our state:

  • Material Porosity: Plaster and concrete surfaces contain 14-18% porosity, allowing water penetration that accelerates chemical degradation and structural deterioration.

  • Thermal Incompatibility: Rigid surfaces cannot accommodate Texas' extreme temperature swings, creating expansion stress that manifests as spider cracks within 24 months.

  • Chemical Vulnerability: Extended swim seasons (March-November in South Texas) require constant chlorination that attacks cementitious materials, reducing surface integrity by 15% annually.

  • Soil Movement: Texas' diverse soil conditions—from Blackland Prairie clay to coastal sand—create unique structural stresses that traditional surfaces cannot withstand.

The Hexagon Solution: Permanent Pool Transformation

Hexagon Fiberglass Pools eliminates the resurfacing cycle through our exclusive pool conversion process—permanently transforming your existing pool into a non-porous fiberglass surface using patented HexConvert™ technology.

Gunite Pool Resurfacing: Hexagon's Specialized Solutions

The Gunite Challenge Across Texas

Gunite pools dominate the Texas market (73% of existing pools), yet face accelerated deterioration from regional conditions:

Structural Vulnerabilities:

  • Soil movement creates varying pressure (clay to limestone)
  • Temperature cycling causes 0.3% dimensional change
  • Calcium leaching weakens matrix by 2% annually
  • Rebar corrosion expands, creating delamination

Surface Failures:

  • Plaster bond failure occurs within 5-7 years
  • Surface porosity reaches 18% over time
  • Roughness index increases 300% by year 5
  • Chemical demand escalates 45% versus new

Why Gunite Replastering Repeatedly Fails

Deteriorating Substrate: Each replastering adheres to increasingly compromised gunite. Previous plaster layers create weak bonding planes. Moisture infiltration continues beneath new surfaces. Result: Shorter lifespan with each application.

The Hexagon Gunite Solution

Hexagon Fiberglass Pools' gunite conversion process addresses root causes:

Hexagon Structural Stabilization:

  • Epoxy injection seals all cracks permanently
  • Flexible fiberglass accommodates movement
  • Waterproof barrier prevents infiltration
  • 25-year structural integrity guarantee from Hexagon

Hexagon Surface Transformation:

  • Permanent smooth texture (0.5 micron finish)
  • 70% chemical reduction versus plaster
  • Zero porosity eliminates staining
  • Comfort restoration for bare feet
