Arlington Fiberglass Pool Repair & Resurfacing 7-10 Day Install
Your pool has been patched and replastered for years. Arlington's aging pool stock, Blackland Prairie clay, and hard AWU water (150–200 mg/L) have been working against your plaster since the day it was applied — not another replastering contractor who puts you right back on the same 7-year cycle.
Hexagon Fiberglass Pools specializes exclusively in fiberglass solutions engineered for Arlington's conditions and pool stock. Choose our proprietary HEXConvert™ system with comprehensive 10-year labor and material warranty, or premium Fibre Tech™ technology with industry-leading 25-year transferable warranty.

Fiberglass Pool Resurfacing
Arlington Water Utilities delivers the hardest tap water Hexagon works with across North Texas — 150 to 200 mg/L, roughly 40% above the TRWD hardness that supplies neighboring cities like Colleyville and Grapevine. Combined with Blackland Prairie clay cycling under pool shells that have been fighting this chemistry since the 1970s and 1980s, plaster here does not simply degrade on a schedule — it erodes under sustained chemical pressure that no replastering contractor can outrun. Fiberglass ends that attrition permanently.
Permanent fiberglass resurfacing is the only finish that shrugs off Arlington's 150–200 mg/L tap water for good.
- Permanent surface vs. recurring $7,000–$15,000 replastering
- Glass-smooth — never rough, stained, or scaled again
- Up to 45% reduction in chemical usage
- Algae-resistant non-porous surface
- Choice of 10-yr or 25-yr transferable warranty
Fiberglass Pool Conversion
Arlington's pool inventory spans five decades and four construction types: gunite shells under decades of degraded plaster, 1970s and 1980s vinyl liner pools that have cycled through multiple replacements, concrete block constructions from the early suburban era, and first-generation fiberglass installations now approaching 40 years old. Hexagon converts any of these to fiberglass without excavation, without disrupting decking, landscaping, or outdoor living space.
- Vinyl liner → fiberglass — eliminates $5–8k annual liner replacement costs
- Gunite → fiberglass — permanently ends clay-driven structural cracking
- Concrete → fiberglass — stops the North Texas maintenance cycle
- Fiberglass restoration — modern surface, extended life, transferable warranty
Re-Gelcoat Restoration
Already have a fiberglass pool? Arlington fiberglass surfaces face a two-front attack that accelerates gel coat failure faster than most DFW markets: AWU hard water at 150–200 mg/L deposits calcium scale on gel coat continuously, and six months of DFW sun exposure each season drives photo-oxidation into the surface. Neither force alone would degrade gel coat at Arlington's observed rates — together, they do. Re-gelcoating addresses both damage mechanisms and restores your pool to like-new condition without shell replacement.
- Fraction of the cost of full pool replacement
- Color-matched or upgrade to a modern premium finish
- Restores UV protection and chemical resistance
- Addresses spider cracks and blistering simultaneously
- Extends pool life by 15–20 years

Fiberglass Pool Repair
The combination of Arlington's 40-to-50-year-old gunite shells, AWU water hardness at 150–200 mg/L, and active Blackland Prairie clay creates failure patterns that are layered and interdependent. A surface crack may reflect clay movement, AWU mineral infiltration, or both simultaneously. Patch-and-fill repairs that address only the visible symptom leave the root cause untouched and the failure on a return schedule. Hexagon diagnoses every failure to its source before any repair material touches the shell.
That's how we repair fiberglass pool cracks permanently instead of leaving the root cause on a return schedule.
- All repairs color-matched to existing finish
- Structural repairs address clay and root movement root cause
- Most jobs completed in 3–5 days
- Up to 5-year warranty on structural repair work

Why Arlington Pools Benefit from Fiberglass
The Right Solution for Arlington's Aging Pool Stock
Expansive Clay & Mature Roots
Arlington sits on Blackland Prairie clay — a high-expansion soil that swells and contracts with every seasonal shift. Combined with the aging root systems common in Arlington's established neighborhoods, ground movement is consistent and predictable in its damage to rigid pool surfaces.
- Clay movement cracks rigid plaster and gunite repeatedly
- Mature root systems add unpredictable directional pressure
- Fiberglass flexes with both clay and root movement
- No cracking — regardless of seasonal soil shifts
AWU Hard Water — 150–200 mg/L
Arlington Water Utilities supplies water in the 150–200 mg/L hardness range — among the hardest utility water in the Metroplex. Calcium carbonate deposits attack plaster surfaces from the first fill, shortening the usable surface life to 5–7 years and raising chemical costs 40% above fiberglass baseline.
- Plaster degrades faster in 150–200 mg/L water than most Texas markets
- Scale deposits on porous surfaces accelerate roughness and algae
- Fiberglass is non-porous — hard water cannot attack the surface
- Chemical costs drop 40% — no more alkalinity correction cycle
96°F Highs & 111°F Heat Index
Arlington summers average 96°F in August with a heat index exceeding 111°F and a long May–October pool season. Pools in constant use face sustained UV exposure, thermal cycling, and chemical load that accelerates traditional surface degradation.
- UV oxidizes and fades plaster and marcite year over year
- Fiberglass gel coat contains UV inhibitors — resists fading
- Thermal cycling cracks rigid surfaces over DFW winters
- Fiberglass flexes with temperature extremes — no cracking
3rd & 4th Plaster Cycle — The Right Time to Convert
Arlington's 1970s–1990s pool stock is now at the point where replastering again means spending $8,000–$12,000 for 5–7 more years — then facing the same decision again. At the 3rd or 4th plaster cycle, the 20-year math decisively favors a one-time fiberglass conversion over continued replastering.
- The 3rd replaster is often the last reasonable one before conversion wins financially
- Full documentation and warranty paperwork delivered at completion
- 7–10 day installation — pool back in service quickly
- Non-disruptive — no demolition, no heavy equipment on your lawn

Arlington Success Stories
Real Results from Your Neighbors
HOA approved same week — immaculate finish
We were nervous about the architectural committee review — Thornbury's standards are high. Hexagon submitted the documentation themselves and the committee approved within the week. The pool looks extraordinary. The sapphire blue we chose matches our slate roof perfectly. Our neighbors have already asked for the contact.
Clay cracking — finally solved for good
We'd repaired the same structural crack three times in eight years. Every contractor said the same thing — it's the clay. What they didn't say was that fiberglass could fix it permanently. Hexagon's conversion addressed the root cause. Two full DFW summers since — not a single crack.
Landscaping untouched — exactly as promised
We have mature live oaks we've been growing for 20 years. I was explicit: don't touch them. Hexagon's crew mapped their equipment route around every tree, laid protective mats around root zones, and left our garden exactly as they found it. The pool, on the other hand, looks completely new.
25-year warranty transferred at closing
We converted before listing specifically because we knew Arlington buyers would scrutinize the pool. The Fibre Tech™ 25-year transferable warranty was in our listing sheet. Our real estate attorney confirmed it legally transfers at closing. We sold in 4 days. The buyers specifically mentioned the pool.
What Fiberglass Actually Costs You Over Time

Calculate My SavingsFrequently Asked Fiberglass Pool Questions
Arlington pool conversions typically range from $8,000 to $18,000 depending on pool size, condition, and features. Arlington's standard 400–600 sq ft residential pools — most built in the 1970s through 1990s — fall in the $10,000–$15,000 range. This replaces the 7-year replaster cycle ($4,500–$7,500 per cycle) with one permanent installation backed by a 25-year structural warranty.
Two compounding factors accelerate plaster degradation in Arlington: AWU hard water at 150–200 mg/L etches and erodes plaster surfaces faster than softer water supplies across North Texas, and Blackland Prairie clay soil expands and contracts with seasonal moisture changes, cracking rigid plaster and gunite shells on a predictable cycle. Most Arlington pools are on their 3rd or 4th plaster cycle for these reasons. Fiberglass ends that cycle permanently.
Yes — we serve all Arlington neighborhoods including Forest Hills, Woodland West, Country Club, Lake Arlington, Pantego, the DFW corridor, and surrounding areas. Our team is based in North Texas and provides same-day consultations throughout Tarrant County at no charge.
Arlington homeowners on the replaster cycle typically spend $4,500–$7,500 every 7 years — up to $45,000 over 20 years. A single fiberglass conversion at $10,000–$15,000 eliminates that cycle permanently. Factor in lower chemical costs (fiberglass is non-porous so algae has no foothold against AWU hard water) and you're looking at approximately $42,000 in savings over 20 years on a standard Arlington pool.
Yes — older pools are ideal candidates for fiberglass conversion. Arlington's 1970s–1990s gunite shells are structurally sound but the plaster surface has been degraded by years of AWU hard water exposure and Blackland Prairie clay movement. We assess shell integrity during a free consultation and address any structural issues before conversion begins. The older the pool, the more financial sense conversion makes.
Arlington Water Utilities (AWU) delivers water at 150–200 mg/L total hardness — significantly harder than TRWD supplies used in adjacent cities. This calcium-rich water etches plaster and marcite surfaces, deposits scale, and accelerates surface roughness. Fiberglass is chemically inert and non-porous, so AWU hard water has no mechanism to attack it. We specifically recommend fiberglass to Arlington homeowners for this reason.
Our Fibre Tech™ 25-year structural warranty covers the fiberglass shell against delamination, blistering, and structural failure — and transfers to new owners at closing, which Arlington homeowners regularly list as a selling point when buyers ask about the pool. HEXConvert™ installations carry a 10-year comprehensive labor and materials warranty that also transfers with the property.
Standard Arlington pool conversions complete in 7–10 days. Days 1–2: drain, surface preparation, and structural assessment. Days 3–6: HEXConvert™ or Fibre Tech™ fiberglass application and curing. Days 7–8: coping, tile, and equipment reinstallation. Days 9–10: refill, water chemistry balance, and completion documentation delivery.
Yes — our system works for virtually any pool configuration. Arlington's standard 400–600 sq ft residential pools are straightforward conversions. We also handle irregular shapes, pools with attached spas, tanning ledges, and pools with existing crack damage from Blackland Prairie clay cycling. Shell geometry and structural assessment are included in the free consultation.
A professionally installed fiberglass surface lasts for decades — far longer than the 5–7 years plaster gives you in North Texas. HEXConvert™ carries a 10-year comprehensive warranty and Fibre Tech™ a 25-year transferable material warranty, and both routinely outlast those terms with normal care. You end the replaster cycle instead of repeating it.
Yes. We repair gel-coat fading and oxidation, spider cracks, osmotic blisters, and structural cracks on fiberglass pools — color-matched so the repair is invisible under water. Most repairs finish in 3–5 days, and we diagnose the root cause (usually clay soil movement) so the fix lasts.
It depends on the damage: minor gel-coat touch-ups start around $800–$1,500, larger restorations run $3,000–$8,000, and complete refinishing $8,000–$15,000. You get a firm, itemized quote at the free assessment — and catching damage early is always cheaper than waiting for it to spread.
Yes — it's fiberglass's biggest advantage here. Arlington's expansive North Texas clay swells and shrinks seasonally and cracks rigid plaster and gunite. A fiberglass surface flexes with that movement instead of fracturing, and we resolve drainage and any structural cracks during prep so the result is permanent.
Yes. From Dalworthington Gardens and Pantego to Viridian and the Lake Arlington area, we provide the documentation HOAs request, and our finishes meet or exceed neighborhood standards. Most HOAs approve our fiberglass work readily once they've seen the results nearby.
Yes, through all four seasons — we schedule around rain and continue prep during delays, and cooler months often book faster. Winter freeze damage is a common North Texas repair call, and fiberglass flexes through freeze-thaw far better than rigid plaster.
Usually, yes. Your pump, filter, and heater typically work fine with a converted pool, and fiberglass's smooth surface can let equipment run easier. We assess your system at the consultation and only suggest an upgrade (like a variable-speed pump) when it will genuinely save you money.
Yes. The non-porous surface resists algae and scale, so most Arlington homeowners use far fewer chemicals, never need acid washing, and never resurface. You spend less on upkeep and more time swimming — the savings compound every year you own the pool.
It can. A smooth, modern, warrantied surface shows well to buyers, and the Fibre Tech™ 25-year warranty is transferable — a documented asset that follows the home. In Arlington's market, a low-maintenance pool with warranty paperwork is a genuine selling point versus a pool due for another replaster.

HEXConvert™ Resurfacing is our proprietary fiberglass resurfacing system. We bond a multi-layer fiberglass-and-gelcoat surface over your existing concrete, gunite, or plaster shell to create one continuous, non-porous, factory-smooth finish. Unlike plaster — which has to be redone every 7–10 years — a HEXConvert™ surface is a one-time installation backed by a 10- or 25-year warranty.
Re-Gel is the gelcoat-renewal stage of the HEXConvert™ system. We apply a fresh, color-matched gelcoat over the fiberglass to restore the smooth, glossy finish and protect it against UV, pool chemicals, and everyday wear — bringing an existing fiberglass surface back to like-new condition without a full rebuild.
Fiberglass lasts 25+ years vs 7-10 for plaster, reduces chemical usage by 75%, prevents algae growth, and never needs acid washing.
Our 25-year warranty covers the fiberglass shell against structural defects, delamination, blistering, and fading. It's transferable to future homeowners.
Both deliver the same smooth, permanent fiberglass surface — the difference is the warranty. HEXConvert™ is our proprietary system with a 10-year comprehensive (labor and materials) warranty and the fastest install. Fibre Tech™ carries a 25-year transferable material warranty, ideal if you may sell since it follows the home. We'll help you choose at the consultation.
Yes! Pool conversion works excellently for old or damaged pools. In fact, conversion is often the best solution for aging pools with cracks, surface deterioration, or structural issues. Our Fibre Tech™ system bonds directly to your existing concrete/gunite structure and can bridge minor cracks while providing structural reinforcement. We've successfully converted pools that are 30+ years old. During your free consultation, we'll assess your pool's condition and recommend the best approach for your specific situation.
Yes! Our Fibre Tech™ technology is custom-molded to fit any pool shape and size, from standard rectangles to custom freeform designs.
Your pool will look better! You can choose from various colors and the smooth gel-coat surface is more attractive than weathered plaster.
Absolutely! Fiberglass is completely salt-resistant, unlike concrete which can deteriorate from salt exposure.
Usually no. Most existing equipment works perfectly with fiberglass. We'll assess during consultation and recommend upgrades only if beneficial.
