Learn About Fort Worth Resurfacing

What Is Pool Resurfacing — and Why Does Your Fort Worth Pool Need It?

Pool resurfacing is the process of removing or overcoating your pool's existing interior finish and applying a new, durable surface layer directly to the shell. Every pool surface degrades over time — plaster chalks and stains, marcite roughens and scales, vinyl liners fade and tear. In Fort Worth, that degradation is accelerated by three compounding factors: Houston Black Vertisol clay soil that shifts seasonally and cracks rigid finishes, TRWD-supplied hard water (80–130 mg/L) that deposits calcium scale on porous surfaces, and a long, intense May–October pool season that subjects surfaces to sustained UV exposure and thermal cycling.

Fort Worth's pool inventory spans two distinct eras. The estate pools of Tanglewood, Ridglea Hills, Westover Hills, and Arlington Heights — built in the 1950s through 1970s — are now on their third or fourth plaster cycle, with shells that have sustained decades of Tarrant County clay movement. The newer suburban pools of the Alliance corridor, Western Hills, and Walsh Ranch — built during the 2000s and 2010s — are entering their first major maintenance decision: whether to replaster again or make the permanent switch. The answer is the same for both: replastering extends the cycle, fiberglass ends it.

Signs Your Fort Worth Pool Needs Resurfacing

⚠ Rough or sandpaper texture on pool floor and walls
⚠ Persistent staining that acid washing no longer removes
⚠ Visible cracks, chips, or delaminating patches
⚠ Chalky white calcium deposits or efflorescence
⚠ Recurring algae despite correct chemical balance
⚠ Fading, discoloration, or uneven finish color
⚠ Unexplained water loss (surface micro-leaks)
⚠ Surface age over 7 years on plaster or marcite

Pool Resurfacing Services in Fort Worth, TX

Hexagon resurfaces every pool type found in Fort Worth — from aging plaster gunite pools in Tanglewood and Arlington Heights to vinyl-liner pools in Ridglea Hills. All paths lead to the same outcome: a permanent fiberglass surface engineered for Tarrant County conditions.

3rd–4th Plaster Cycle

Plaster & Marcite Pool Resurfacing

The estate pools of Tanglewood, Ridglea Hills, Arlington Heights, and Westover Hills — built mostly in the 1950s through 1970s — are on their third or fourth plaster cycle. These shells have endured decades of Tarrant County Houston Black Vertisol clay movement, with TRWD water at 80–130 mg/L depositing scale into every surface crack. Hexagon performs a full structural inspection, repairs clay-driven cracks, and applies a permanent fiberglass surface — ending the replaster cycle for the life of the pool.

✓ Estate pool on its third or fourth plaster cycle — cycle ends permanently
✓ Structural crack repair included on aging Tarrant County shells
✓ TRWD 80–130 mg/L hard water scale formation eliminated by non-porous fiberglass
✓ Glass-smooth finish on pools that Westover Hills and Ridglea buyers expect

Hard Water Aggregate

Pebble & Aggregate Finish Resurfacing

Pebble Tec and aggregate finishes were popular in Fort Worth's 2000s suburban expansion — Alliance corridor, Western Hills, and Walsh Ranch. After 8–12 years in TRWD hard water at 80–130 mg/L, mineral deposits embed in aggregate gaps, roughening the surface and accelerating chemical imbalance. Fiberglass resurfacing over aggregate delivers a glass-smooth, chemically neutral surface without shell demolition — eliminating the hard water roughening cycle permanently.

✓ TRWD 80–130 mg/L mineral embed in aggregate gaps ended permanently
✓ Applied over existing aggregate — no shell demolition required
✓ Alliance corridor and Western Hills pool stock addressed without disruption
✓ Glass-smooth, algae-resistant replacement for rough aggregate surface

Suburban Vinyl Stock

Vinyl Liner Pool Resurfacing

Vinyl liner pools in Fort Worth's 1990s and 2000s suburban neighborhoods carry a $5,000–$8,000 liner replacement cost every 7–10 years. Fort Worth's Tarrant County clay also shifts the pool shell over time, causing liners to wrinkle and fail faster than in more stable soil environments. Hexagon resurfaces vinyl liner pools with a permanent fiberglass interior — eliminating liner replacement and the underlying clay-driven shell movement simultaneously.

✓ Liner replacement cycle eliminated — no third or fourth replacement
✓ Clay-driven shell movement that accelerates liner failure addressed
✓ Permanent non-porous surface applied over prepared shell structure
✓ Payback within 10–12 years on standard Fort Worth pool sizes

20–30 Year Shells

Fiberglass Pool Re-Resurfacing

Fiberglass pools installed in Fort Worth's 1990s and early 2000s suburban expansion are now 20–30 years old and showing oxidation, spider cracking from Tarrant County clay movement, and TRWD scale buildup on aging gel coat. Hexagon re-resurfaces these shells by grinding, repairing all clay-movement cracks, and applying a fresh HEXConvert™ or Fibre Tech™ system — delivering new fiberglass performance with full warranty coverage.

✓ Clay-movement spider cracks ground out and repaired before new application
✓ TRWD scale accumulation on aged gel coat removed at surface preparation
✓ Full warranty on completed re-resurfaced shell — day one
✓ 20–30 year Fort Worth fiberglass pools restored to like-new performance

Why Fiberglass Resurfacing — Not Replaster, Pebble Tec, or Epoxy Paint

Fort Worth homeowners are typically presented with four resurfacing options. Here is an honest comparison of how each performs in North Texas conditions over a 20-year ownership horizon.

Surface Type	Lifespan	20-Yr Cost	Hard Water	Clay Soil
White Plaster	5–7 yrs	$60k–$114k	Scales heavily	Cracks with movement
Marcite	6–8 yrs	$54k–$96k	Stains & scales	Cracks with movement
Pebble / Aggregate	8–12 yrs	$45k–$72k	Roughens quickly	Cracks with movement
Epoxy Paint	2–4 yrs	$70k–$100k+	Peels & blisters	Delamination risk
✓ HEXConvert™ / Fibre Tech™ Fiberglass	20–30 yrs	$14k–$22k	Non-porous — no scale	Flexes — no cracking

What Is a Fiberglass Pool Conversion — and Is It the Right Choice for Your Fort Worth Pool?

A fiberglass pool conversion is a complete interior system change — transforming your existing pool from its current surface technology (vinyl liner, plaster, gunite, concrete) to a permanent, non-porous fiberglass shell. Unlike resurfacing, which preps and overcoats a surface that still has usable structure, conversion is the appropriate choice when the underlying system itself has reached the end of its viable life: when a vinyl liner pool has had two or more liner replacements, when a gunite shell has sustained repeated structural cracking from Fort Worth's clay soil movement, or when the cost of continued maintenance now rivals the cost of a one-time permanent solution.

Critically, Hexagon performs fiberglass pool conversions without excavation and without disruption to your existing decking, landscaping, or outdoor living infrastructure. For Fort Worth properties — where mature trees, custom hardscape, and HOA-governed exteriors make any ground disturbance costly and complicated — this is the deciding factor. The entire conversion is completed from inside the pool in 7–10 days, with zero contact with surrounding property.

You're a Conversion Candidate If…

✓ Your vinyl liner has been replaced once or more already
✓ Your gunite or concrete pool cracks recur after every repair
✓ Annual maintenance costs exceed $3,000 with no improvement
✓ Your pool surface has multiple simultaneous failure types
✓ You're planning a renovation and want a permanent solution
✓ Your pool is 15+ years old and has never had a system upgrade
✓ You want to eliminate all future resurfacing from your budget
✓ You're preparing the property for sale and want a warranty asset

Fiberglass Pool Conversion by Pool Type

Hexagon converts every pool type found in Fort Worth. The conversion method is tailored to the existing shell structure — but the outcome is always the same: a permanent, low-maintenance fiberglass interior with full warranty coverage.

Tanglewood & Ridglea Era

Gunite & Shotcrete Pool Conversion

Gunite and shotcrete pools are the most common pool type in Fort Worth's established neighborhoods — Westover Hills, Tanglewood, Arlington Heights, and the estates in Ridglea. Over time, Fort Worth's Houston Black Vertisol clay causes the gunite shell to develop structural cracks that return after every repair. Fiberglass conversion permanently ends this cycle by applying a flexible, non-porous surface that accommodates the seasonal soil movement that makes rigid concrete crack.

✓ Structural crack cycle from Tarrant County clay movement ended permanently
✓ Flexible fiberglass applied to Westover Hills and Tanglewood gunite shells without excavation
✓ Mature lot tree root pressure assessed and addressed before application
✓ Pool and spa unified under one fiberglass surface with full warranty coverage

Western Hills Suburban

Vinyl Liner Pool Conversion

Vinyl liner pools are concentrated in Fort Worth's 1990s suburban neighborhoods — Western Hills, Wedgwood, and parts of the TCU corridor — where vinyl construction reduced initial build costs over gunite. Tarrant County's Houston Black Vertisol clay shifts the pool shell out of its original plane over time, creating low spots where the liner pools water and high spots where the liner stretches and tears before the standard 7–10 year cycle runs its course. A fiberglass conversion replaces not just the liner but the entire interior system — and permanently addresses the clay movement that caused liner cycles to accelerate in the first place.

✓ $5–8k liner replacement cost eliminated — clay-driven liner damage ends with it
✓ Underlying shell movement from Tarrant County clay documented and addressed
✓ Fort Worth suburban pools (Alliance corridor, Western Hills) converted without excavation
✓ Payback period 10–12 years through eliminated liner and shell repair costs

Pre-Gunite Estate

Concrete Block Pool Conversion

Concrete block pools on Fort Worth's estate lots — Crestwood, Park Glen, and older Ridglea Hills builds — were constructed before gunite became the Texas residential pool standard in the 1970s. These blocks were bonded with mortar not engineered for the level of seasonal movement Tarrant County's Houston Black Vertisol clay produces. After 30–40 years of expansion and contraction, mortar joints have opened, allowing water to migrate behind the shell and create hydrostatic pressure from the clay side. Hexagon waterproofs and stabilizes the block structure before fiberglass application — sealing every joint and creating a unified interior that permanently stops the water migration.

✓ Block structure stabilized before fiberglass — no demolition on large Fort Worth lots
✓ Mortar joint degradation from clay soil cycling addressed before application
✓ Water migration from TRWD-scale-compromised joints permanently sealed
✓ Viable alternative to full demolition on 1980s–1990s Fort Worth shells

Keller & Alliance Stock

Fiberglass-to-Fiberglass Conversion

Fort Worth's 1990s and 2000s fiberglass pool stock — Keller, Southlake, North Richland Hills, and the Alliance corridor — is now 20–30 years old and presenting compound failure: TRWD 80–130 mg/L mineral scale on the gel coat, Tarrant County clay-movement spider cracking in the structural laminate, and DFW UV degradation across the surface. Patching individual defects on a shell degraded across multiple failure modes simultaneously is rarely cost-effective — Hexagon removes the failing layer entirely and applies a new HEXConvert™ or Fibre Tech™ system engineered for another 20+ years in Tarrant County conditions.

✓ Failed gel coat from decades of TRWD mineral exposure fully removed — not patched over
✓ Clay-movement spider cracks in structural shell repaired before new application
✓ Full warranty on completed conversion — Westover Hills and Ridglea resale documentation
✓ Preferred over repeated patch repairs on aging 1990s–2000s Fort Worth fiberglass

Why Fort Worth Homeowners Choose Conversion Over Continued Maintenance

The financial case for conversion is straightforward when you compare the cumulative cost of maintaining a traditional surface against the one-time cost of a permanent fiberglass system.

No Excavation. No Disruption.

The entire conversion is performed from inside the pool. No digging, no equipment on your lawn, no damage to decking, irrigation, or landscaping. For properties with mature trees, custom hardscape, and HOA exterior restrictions, this is non-negotiable. Hexagon has never required ground disturbance for a conversion project.

The 20-Year Financial Case

A Fort Worth pool on a traditional plaster or vinyl liner cycle costs $60,000–$114,000 over 20 years in surface maintenance alone. A one-time fiberglass conversion costs $14,000–$22,000 and requires no further surface work within the warranty period. The delta — $40,000–$90,000 — is the conversion's return on investment over a 20-year horizon.

HOA-Ready Documentation

Fort Worth communities require documentation for exterior improvements. Hexagon provides full permit packages, city coordination, and completion documentation at no additional charge. Veterans receive a 5% project discount — documented and applied at booking. Every conversion leaves the property with a documented, warranty-backed improvement on file.

Your Conversion System: HEXConvert™ or Fibre Tech™

Both systems deliver a permanent fiberglass interior. Your choice determines warranty depth and transferability.

What Is Pool Gel Coat — and Why Do Fort Worth Fiberglass Pools Need Repair?

Gel coat is the outermost layer of a fiberglass pool — a resin-based protective finish that provides the pool's color, gloss, chemical resistance, and UV protection. It is what you see, touch, and swim against. When your fiberglass pool looks faded, feels rough, or shows cracks and blisters, it is the gel coat that has degraded — not the structural fiberglass shell beneath it.

Fort Worth's climate accelerates gel coat degradation faster than national averages. The DFW pool season runs May through October — six months of sustained UV exposure at an index that regularly exceeds 7, combined with August heat indexes above 111°F. TRWD-supplied water at 80–130 mg/L hardness deposits calcium on gel coat surfaces, dulling gloss and creating surface roughness that traps algae. South-facing pools on larger Fort Worth lots — common in Westover Hills, Ridglea, and the Tanglewood corridor — receive near-constant sun exposure that compounds oxidation year over year. Left unaddressed, degraded gel coat exposes the structural laminate beneath it to chemical penetration, which turns a cosmetic issue into a structural one.

Signs Your Fort Worth Pool Needs Gel Coat Repair

→ Faded, chalky, or dull finish — color no longer vibrant
→ Spider cracks on pool floor, walls, or around fittings
→ Osmotic blisters — raised bubbles on the pool surface
→ Rough or sandpaper texture in previously smooth areas
→ Visible delamination — gel coat separating from shell
→ Persistent staining despite correct water chemistry
→ Patchy color inconsistency across pool and spa surfaces
→ Pool is 10+ years old and has never had a gel coat service

Pool Gel Coat Repair Services in Fort Worth, TX

Hexagon diagnoses the root cause of every gel coat issue before beginning work — DFW's clay soil, hard water, and UV load each produce distinct failure patterns that require different repair approaches. All work is color-matched to your existing finish or upgraded to a premium modern color.

Most Comprehensive

Full Gel Coat Restoration

When oxidation, fading, and minor surface damage are widespread across the pool, a full gel coat restoration is the most cost-effective approach. Hexagon mechanically prepares the entire surface, addresses all underlying defects, and applies a fresh, UV-stabilized gel coat layer across the pool and spa as a unified refinish. The result is a pool that looks, feels, and performs as it did when first installed — with a color-matched or upgraded finish.

✓ Complete pool and spa surface unified under new coat
✓ Mechanically prepared — not chemically stripped
✓ UV inhibitors in new gel coat resist DFW sun degradation
✓ Choice of color match or premium color upgrade

DFW Most Common

Oxidation & UV Fade Repair

Oxidation is the most common gel coat issue on Fort Worth pools — caused by sustained UV exposure breaking down the resin polymers in the gel coat surface. The finish loses its gloss, turns chalky white or gray, and becomes increasingly porous, holding algae and resisting cleaning. Hexagon's oxidation treatment removes the degraded surface layer, restores chemical resistance and UV protection, and brings the original color back to a like-new standard without full shell replacement.

✓ Chalky, dull finish restored to original gloss
✓ Porous oxidized layer removed — not polished over
✓ Algae resistance restored with non-porous finish
✓ Effective on all fiberglass pool colors and ages

Clay Soil Related

Spider Crack Repair

Spider cracks in fiberglass gel coat are a direct consequence of ground movement — and Fort Worth's Houston Black Vertisol clay, which expands and contracts with every rain-drought cycle, produces more ground movement than almost any other soil type in Texas. Spider cracks typically radiate from stress points: fittings, steps, corners, and floor areas above clay expansion zones. Hexagon repairs spider cracks by grinding out each crack to sound material, filling and laminating the substrate, then applying a color-matched gel coat patch that is invisible under water.

✓ Clay-movement root cause identified before repair
✓ Each crack ground to sound substrate — not filled over
✓ Structural laminate repaired beneath the gel coat
✓ Color-matched finish — invisible under water

Water Chemistry Related

Osmotic Blister Repair

Osmotic blistering occurs when water molecules penetrate a compromised gel coat and accumulate between the gel coat and the fiberglass laminate, forming raised bubbles on the pool surface. In Fort Worth, hard water chemistry imbalances — particularly low pH combined with elevated calcium — accelerate the osmotic process. Hexagon repairs blisters by opening each blister, cleaning the underlying cavity, rebuilding the laminate substrate, and applying gel coat over the repaired area. Water chemistry guidance is provided to prevent recurrence.

✓ Every blister opened, cleaned, and rebuilt — not flattened
✓ Underlying laminate damage addressed before gel coat
✓ Hard water chemistry guidance provided on completion
✓ Prevents escalation to full delamination

Why Fort Worth Homeowners Should Not Delay Gel Coat Repair

Gel coat issues follow a predictable escalation path. What begins as a cosmetic problem — fading, minor cracking — becomes a structural and financial problem if left unaddressed.

Cosmetic → Structural

Spider cracks that remain unfilled allow water to penetrate to the fiberglass laminate. Once water reaches the laminate in a clay soil environment, hydrostatic pressure cycles cause delamination — separating the gel coat from the shell in sheets. A $400 crack repair becomes a $4,000 delamination job within two to three North Texas seasons.

HOA Visibility

Fort Worth communities conduct exterior inspections. A visibly faded, cracked, or stained pool surface is grounds for a compliance notice in many neighborhoods. Addressing gel coat deterioration proactively avoids remediation deadlines and the reputational cost of a deteriorating exterior on a high-value property.

Resale Presentation

In Fort Worth's active resale market, pool condition is a material factor in buyer perception and appraisal. A professionally restored gel coat — documented, warranted, and visually premium — positions the pool as an asset rather than a liability in a listing. Buyers in Westover Hills, Ridglea, and Tanglewood expect every detail to be maintained to standard.

What to Expect: The Gel Coat Repair Process

Most Fort Worth gel coat repair projects complete in 3–5 days. Full restorations on pools with integrated spas typically take 5–7 days. No excavation, no heavy equipment, no disruption to your outdoor living space.

Why Fiberglass Pool Repair in Fort Worth Requires a Different Approach

Fiberglass pool repairs are not interchangeable with plaster or concrete repairs — and Fort Worth's conditions make the distinction critical. The two dominant forces acting on Fort Worth pools are Houston Black Vertisol clay soil, which expands and contracts by several inches with every rain-drought cycle, and mature root systems on larger lots, which exert directional pressure on pool walls and floor panels over years. A repair that does not account for these forces will fail again within one to two seasons.

Hexagon's repair process begins with a root-cause assessment, not just a visual surface inspection. We identify whether damage originates from soil movement, root intrusion, water chemistry, or structural fatigue — and address the underlying cause before applying any surface repair. Every repair is color-matched to your existing gel coat and warranted, so the finished result is invisible underwater and backed in writing.

Pool Problems That Need Immediate Attention

! Visible cracks on pool floor, walls, or around fittings
! Water loss exceeding ¼ inch per day (beyond evaporation)
! Skimmer pulling air — cracked housing or broken neck
! Return fittings loose, leaking, or showing separation
! Step or bench delamination pulling away from shell
! Bowing or bulging in pool walls (soil pressure)
! Repeated algae bloom despite correct chemistry
! Equipment pad flooding — possible shell or plumbing leak

Pool Repair Services in Fort Worth, TX

From hairline gel coat cracks to structural shell repairs and full skimmer replacements, Hexagon handles every repair type found on Fort Worth pools — root-cause first, warranty-backed, color-matched to your finish.

Most Requested — Clay Soil

Structural Crack Repair

Structural cracks in fiberglass pools are the direct result of ground movement — and Fort Worth's clay soil is among the most active in North Texas. Cracks typically appear on the pool floor above clay expansion zones, around fittings under directional soil pressure, and along walls adjacent to mature root systems. Hexagon repairs structural cracks by excavating to the outer shell face where necessary, applying fiberglass laminate to restore structural integrity, and finishing with a color-matched gel coat. The root cause — soil load, root pressure, or drainage — is documented and addressed as part of the repair scope.

✓ Tarrant County Houston Black Vertisol clay movement identified as root cause — not just surface damage
✓ Laminate repair restores structural shell integrity on clay-compromised Fort Worth pools
✓ Color-matched gel coat — invisible under water on any Fort Worth pool finish
✓ Up to 5-year warranty on all structural crack repairs

Fort Worth Common

Skimmer Repair & Replacement

Skimmer failure on Fort Worth pools divides by era. On the 1950s–1970s estate pools of Tanglewood, Ridglea, and Westover Hills, the culprit is typically hardware age: 40–50 year old skimmer necks and gaskets degraded through decades of Tarrant County clay cycling. On the Alliance corridor and Western Hills suburban stock from the 1990s–2000s, bond failures are the primary driver — DFW's wide seasonal temperature range combined with TRWD 80–130 mg/L scale deposition around the skimmer surround progressively weakens the waterline bond until water migrates behind the shell and begins interacting with the clay beneath.

✓ Fort Worth clay movement identified as the primary cause of skimmer-to-shell bond failure
✓ Cracked skimmer neck from clay cycling repaired or housing fully replaced
✓ Waterline resealed — TRWD hard water scale removed from skimmer surround before repair
✓ Prevents hydrostatic pressure damage common on Tarrant County clay soil sites

Water Loss Related

Fitting & Return Line Leak Repair

Return fittings, main drain covers, light housings, and spa jets are all shell penetration points — and Fort Worth presents two distinct failure patterns. On the estate-era pools of Tanglewood, Westover Hills, and Ridglea, original fittings installed in the 1950s–1970s lack the structural backing used in current-standard construction — Tarrant County clay cycling applies shear force at the flange over decades, while TRWD 80–130 mg/L hard water deposits calcium scale that masks active leaks as mineral staining. On newer suburban pools, fitting failures originate from clay-driven shell flexion — the pool shifts seasonally, and fitting sealants applied to a stable shell eventually fatigue and crack under directional movement.

✓ Systematic pressure and dye test — Tarrant County clay movement can mask leaks behind displaced fittings
✓ Fitting replacements address shear force from clay soil cycling on original sealant bonds
✓ Shell penetrations resealed to current standards — not re-caulked over original 1970s–2000s sealant
✓ Water loss confirmed resolved before pool is refilled — Fort Worth evaporation baseline documented

Root & Soil Pressure

Step, Bench & Ledge Repair

Steps, benches, tanning ledges, and spa walls are the structural elements most vulnerable to delamination on Fort Worth pools — and the failure driver divides along neighborhood lines. On the estate pools of Westover Hills, Tanglewood, and Ridglea Hills, 50–70 year old live oaks and pecans apply sustained upward root pressure on horizontal surfaces, amplified by Tarrant County clay expansion during wet seasons. The Alliance corridor and Western Hills suburban pools face a different driver: clay-driven shell movement under horizontal surfaces that have lost adhesive bond strength after 20+ years — delamination from directional movement rather than root intrusion.

✓ Mature Westover Hills and Tanglewood lot trees documented as primary delamination driver — root load addressed
✓ Delaminated layers re-bonded — not patched over on Fort Worth estate and suburban pool steps
✓ Structural fiberglass reinforcement applied on all high-stress horizontal surfaces in clay soil environments
✓ Spa, step, ledge, and tanning ledge surfaces color-unified on completion

Repair or Replace? Hexagon's Honest Assessment

Not every repair is worth making — and not every damaged pool needs replacing. Hexagon provides an honest structural assessment of every pool before quoting, with a clear recommendation based on what actually makes financial sense for the property.

When Repair Is the Right Call

Isolated structural cracks with no shell delamination, single skimmer failure, fitting leaks on an otherwise sound shell, and step or ledge repairs on a pool with a good underlying structure are all strong repair candidates. A targeted repair on a sound fiberglass shell typically extends pool life by 10–15 years at a fraction of resurfacing cost.

When Resurfacing Makes More Sense

When a pool has multiple simultaneous failure types — cracks, blistering, oxidation, and fitting leaks together — the cumulative repair cost often approaches resurfacing cost. In those cases, Hexagon recommends resurfacing over piecemeal repair: one fixed price, one process, a new surface, and a full warranty rather than multiple partial warranties on individual repairs.

When the Shell Needs Replacing

Severe shell delamination, hydrostatic uplift (the pool shell has floated), or widespread structural failure from sustained root intrusion are cases where repair is not viable. Hexagon will tell you directly when this is the situation — and provide a full replacement or conversion quote rather than charge for repairs that will not hold.

What to Expect: The Pool Repair Process

Most pool repair projects in Fort Worth complete in 3–5 days. Structural repairs involving excavation or skimmer replacement may extend to 7 days. No heavy equipment on your lawn — all work performed from pool deck level.

Day 1

Diagnosis & Drain

Root-cause assessment of all damage — pressure test, dye test, visual inspection dry and wet. Repair scope confirmed. Pool drained and surface dried before structural work begins.

Days 2–3

Structural Work

Crack repair, skimmer replacement, fitting resealing, or laminate reinforcement completed at shell level. All structural work inspected and approved before gel coat phase begins.

Days 3–4

Gel Coat Finishing

Color-matched gel coat applied over all repair areas. Blended edge-to-edge for an invisible finish. Skimmer surrounds and fitting flanges refinished to match surrounding surface.

Days 4–5

Refill & Warranty

Pool refilled and water chemistry balanced. All repair work documented. Warranty issued — up to 5 years on structural repairs. Final walkthrough confirms every issue resolved.

Why Fort Worth Pools Benefit from Fiberglass

The Standard Your Investment Deserves

Fort Worth's Tarrant County clay, intense DFW summer heat, diverse pool stock — from Westover Hills estates to Arlington Heights bungalows — and NAS Fort Worth's military community create conditions where fiberglass isn't just better. It's the only surface that holds up.

Clay Soil

Expansive Clay & Mature Roots

Fort Worth sits on Houston Black Vertisols — a 60–80% clay soil that swells and cracks with every seasonal shift. Combined with mature tree root systems on larger estate lots, ground movement is more complex here than in newer subdivisions.

✓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

Pool Scale

Larger Pools, Higher Stakes

Fort Worth pools are larger and more complex than standard suburban pools — often exceeding 1,000 sq ft with integrated spas, tanning ledges, and water features. More surface area means higher maintenance costs, more chemistry to manage, and more to lose when a surface fails.

✓Fiberglass applied to every contour — spa, steps, ledges
✓Chemical savings are proportionally greater on larger pools
✓One surface failure on a complex pool is costly to fix right
✓Fiberglass eliminates the risk — permanently

DFW Heat

96°F Highs & 111°F Heat Index

Fort Worth 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

Military Community

NAS Fort Worth JRB & Veterans Discount

Fort Worth is home to NAS Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base — one of the largest joint-reserve installations in the nation. We're proud to serve the military families who call Tarrant County home, and we back that with a guaranteed 5% veterans discount on every project.

✓5% veteran's discount — active duty, retired, and surviving spouses
✓City of Fort Worth permit coordination included

Real Results from Your Neighbors

Westover Hills Estate

"Immaculate finish — worth every cent"

"We have a 1,400 sq ft pool with an integrated spa and tanning ledge. Hexagon was the only contractor that didn't treat it like a standard suburban job. The crew protected our live oak root zones the entire time. The sapphire blue finish is extraordinary — our property manager says it's the best pool in the area."

— Thomas & Eleanor Whitfield, Westover Hills

Pool with spa & tanning ledge · Fibre Tech™ 25-yr warranty · Investment: $27,400

Arlington Heights — Veteran

"Veterans discount honored — no hassle"

"I'm a retired Marine and I've dealt with contractors who say they support veterans but make you fight for it. Hexagon applied the 5% discount at the first call, no proof required, no hoops. The conversion itself was flawless — same crack that opened three times in 11 years hasn't come back in two seasons."

— Gunnery Sgt. (Ret.) James Okafor, Arlington Heights

Pool Age: 19 years · HEXConvert™ 10-yr warranty · Veterans discount applied

Tanglewood

"40-year-old pool — looks brand new"

"The pool was original to the house — 1983 plaster, replastered twice that we know of. Hexagon told us the gunite shell was still sound and that resurfacing was the right call. Eight days later we had a pool that looked better than anything in the neighborhood. The aqua blue we chose has every guest asking who did it."

— Carol & David Merritt, Tanglewood

Pool Age: 41 years · Fibre Tech™ 25-yr warranty · Investment: $19,200

Ridglea Hills

"25-year warranty transferred at closing"

"We converted before listing because our real estate agent said Fort Worth buyers look hard at the pool. The Fibre Tech™ 25-year transferable warranty went into the listing sheet as a documented asset. We accepted an offer in 6 days. The buyers' agent told us afterward the pool was the deciding factor."

— Patricia & William Nakamura, Ridglea Hills

Fort Worth Pool Questions

Pool conversion costs in Fort Worth typically range from $8,000 to $20,000 depending on pool size, condition, and features. This is 40-60% less than complete pool replacement while providing superior durability. Our fiberglass conversion eliminates the need for resurfacing every 7 years, saving you thousands in long-term maintenance. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote specific to your Fort Worth pool.

Yes! We serve all Fort Worth neighborhoods and surrounding areas. Our team is based in North Texas and provides same-day consultations throughout the region. Whether you're in the heart of Fort Worth or the surrounding suburbs, we've got you covered. Call us at 972-789-2983 to confirm coverage for your specific address.

Fiberglass provides significant long-term savings compared to traditional concrete/plaster pools. Traditional surfaces need resurfacing every 5-7 years at $6,000-$12,000 each time. Over 25 years, that's $25,000-$60,000+ in resurfacing costs alone. Our fiberglass conversion comes with a 25-year warranty and eliminates this recurring expense. You'll also save 70% on chemical costs, reduce water usage, and spend less time on maintenance. Most Fort Worth homeowners see ROI within 5-7 years.

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! We offer flexible financing options to make your pool conversion affordable. Our financing partners provide competitive rates with terms ranging from 12 to 84 months, allowing you to spread the investment over time while immediately enjoying a maintenance-free pool. Many Fort Worth homeowners find that their monthly financing payment is less than what they were spending on pool maintenance and chemicals. Contact us to discuss financing options that fit your budget.

Our Fibre Tech™ fiberglass system offers a wide range of beautiful, fade-resistant colors including Caribbean Blue, Reef Blue, Aquamarine, Lagoon Blue, Ocean Blue, and Pearl White. Each color features a UV-resistant gel coat that maintains its vibrant appearance for decades—unlike traditional plaster that fades and chalks within a few years. During your consultation, we'll show you color samples and help you choose the perfect shade to complement your Fort Worth backyard and home aesthetic.

Our industry-leading 25-year manufacturer warranty covers structural integrity of the fiberglass surface, including protection against blistering, delamination, and osmosis. The warranty also covers color fading and surface deterioration. Unlike traditional plaster warranties that only cover a few years, our fiberglass warranty provides true long-term protection. This transferable warranty can even increase your home's resale value. We'll provide complete warranty documentation at project completion.

Yes! Our custom fiberglass conversion system works for virtually any pool size, shape, or configuration. Whether you have a small geometric pool, large freeform design, kidney shape, or custom configuration with benches, steps, and water features, we can accommodate it. Each fiberglass installation is custom-fabricated to match your exact pool dimensions and features. We've successfully converted pools ranging from 300 to 50,000+ gallons in the Fort Worth area.

Absolutely! Fiberglass is actually the ideal surface for saltwater pools. Unlike plaster and concrete that deteriorate rapidly from salt exposure, our non-porous fiberglass surface is completely resistant to salt corrosion. The smooth gel coat won't break down or pit like traditional surfaces, and you'll experience even better water chemistry with less equipment wear. Many Fort Worth homeowners choose to upgrade to saltwater systems during their fiberglass conversion for the ultimate low-maintenance pool experience.

The fiberglass conversion process is straightforward and typically takes 7-10 days. First, we drain your pool and prepare the existing surface by removing any loose material and repairing structural issues. Next, we take precise measurements and custom-fabricate your fiberglass shell. Once ready, we install the fiberglass lining, ensuring perfect bonding to your existing structure. After curing, we install new fittings, fill the pool, and balance the water chemistry. Throughout the process, we maintain a clean worksite and keep you informed of progress. Most Fort Worth pools are ready to enjoy within two weeks of starting.
