Pool Renovation & Resurfacing in Houston, TX
From replastering and resurfacing to full remodels with new tile, decking, and equipment — Aquascapes renovates pools across greater Houston with our own in-house crews.
Pool Renovations
A Fresh Start Without Starting Over
If your pool's surface has gone rough, chalky, or stained, or the tile and coping are cracked and dated, you don't need to tear it out and start from scratch. A renovation can bring your existing pool back to life — either as an updated version of the pool you already have, or with a completely different look and new features.
Every renovation starts with an on-site assessment of your pool's shell, plumbing, and equipment, since draining a pool can reveal issues that weren't visible while it was full. From there we scope the project around your budget, whether that's a straightforward replaster or a full remodel with new tile, decking, equipment, and an added spa or water feature.

What We Renovate
A renovation can be as simple as a new surface or as involved as a full remodel. Here's where most projects start.
Resurfacing & Replastering
Plaster, pebble, and quartz aggregate finishes each resurface a pool differently. Plaster is the most affordable option and typically lasts around a decade; pebble and quartz finishes cost more up front but hold up 20 years or longer and resist staining better. We'll walk you through which finish fits your pool, your budget, and how long you want it to last before the next resurfacing.
Tile, Coping & Decking
Cracked coping, lifting pavers, and outdated waterline tile are some of the most visible signs a pool needs attention. We replace tile and coping to match your new finish and can resurface or fully replace decking in travertine, pavers, or stamped concrete — often the single change that makes a renovated pool look brand new.
Upgrades & Add-Ons
A renovation is also the time to modernize what's running your pool. We swap old, loud single-speed pumps for variable-speed models that use significantly less electricity, update lighting, and can add a spa, tanning ledge, or water feature into the same project instead of a separate build later.

What Affects the Cost of a Pool Renovation
Renovation costs vary widely because the scope varies widely. A straightforward replaster typically starts in the low five figures, while a full renovation — new tile, coping, decking, equipment, and an added feature or two — commonly runs from about $25,000 to $60,000 or more. A few factors drive where your project lands:
- Pool size and current condition of the shell
- Finish material — plaster, pebble, quartz, or tile
- Tile, coping, and decking scope
- Equipment upgrades (pumps, heaters, lighting, automation)
- Added features, like a spa, tanning ledge, or water feature
- Permitting, if your project includes electrical, plumbing, or structural work
The only way to get an accurate number for your pool is an on-site assessment — we'll evaluate the shell and equipment and put together a detailed proposal.
How Long Does It Take?
Most straightforward resurfacing projects wrap up in one to two weeks. Larger renovations that involve new tile, decking, equipment, or structural changes typically take three to eight weeks, depending on scope, permitting, and weather. You'll get a projected schedule with your proposal.

Questions & Answers
Pool Renovation FAQ
A few signs point to a renovation: rough, chalky, or stained plaster; cracked or lifting tile and coping; a cracked or uneven deck; frequent leaks; or equipment that's outdated and inefficient. If your pool is showing any of these, an on-site assessment will tell you whether resurfacing is enough or if a fuller renovation makes more sense.
Resurfacing cost depends mainly on your pool's size and the finish you choose. Plaster is the most affordable option, while pebble and quartz aggregate finishes cost more up front but last significantly longer. Most straightforward resurfacing projects fall in the $6,000 to $15,000 range, though the exact number depends on your pool's size and condition.
A full renovation that includes new tile, coping, decking, equipment, and an added feature or two commonly runs from about $25,000 to $60,000 or more, depending on scope. The best way to get an accurate number is an on-site assessment and a detailed proposal.

Yes. Adding a spa, tanning ledge, or water feature is one of the most common reasons homeowners renovate instead of just resurfacing, since it usually requires new plumbing and equipment anyway. We'll design the addition to work with your existing pool's shape and structure.
Plaster is the most affordable finish and typically lasts about a decade. Pebble and quartz aggregate finishes cost more upfront but resist staining and hold up 20 years or longer. Tile is the most expensive option per square foot but is also the most durable, and is often used as an accent at the waterline rather than across the whole pool.
It depends on the scope. Renovations that involve electrical work, plumbing changes, or structural modifications typically require a permit in most Greater Houston municipalities. We handle the permitting process as part of your project when it's needed.
Yes. Financing is available through our lending partners, including Lyon Financial, so you can spread the investment over time. Ask about current options during your assessment.
