Pool Area Resurfacing

If you’re like us, you love having a dip in the pool to cool off from the harsh Queensland sun. Pools are a fantastic addition to any home, but the surrounding concrete needs to be properly maintained. What happens when the concrete around your pool begins to crack or chip? You might think it’s okay to leave it that way. After all, the pool is still usable, right? However, concrete is porous, making it susceptible to damage and increased wear and tear over time.

While water absorption won’t pose any immediate issues to your pool’s concrete surroundings, it can cause cracks and other damage if left unattended for extended periods. When concrete cracks, it can damage the structure’s integrity, which is why it’s crucial to have it resurfaced as soon as you notice signs of damage.

Why Resurface the Area Around Your Pools?

As we touched on above, cracked concrete around your pool can cause heaps of headaches later on. Cracked or not, though, here are some reasons why you should resurface your pool area:

Small Chips Lead to Big Cracks

When you overlook small chips in concrete, they can spread over time, turning your small chips into bigger cracks. When cracks occur in concrete, they tamper with its structural integrity, causing a domino effect that may lead to you having to replace the entire slab.

Resurfacing your concrete when you notice these chips means you can prevent costly repairs and replacements in the future. It’s not a band-aid solution; it’s a preventative measure.

Wear and Tear is Very Real

Like everything in this world, concrete will age. With ageing comes signs of wear and tear. While it may take a long time for your concrete to succumb to the effects of age, things like pool chemicals, water, foot traffic, and weather conditions can decrease its lifespan.

When you resurface your concrete, however, you’re giving it a new lease on life, offering a safer and more appealing pool environment for swimmers.

Damaged Concrete Can Compromise Safety

Going for a swim is a surefire way to keep fit and healthy, but when the surface area around the pool is damaged, you open yourself and others up to potential falls and injuries. Seeking a professional to resurface the surroundings helps reduce the potential for risk, creating a safe and fun swimming environment for you, your family, and guests.

Fresh Concrete Adds Visual Appeal

Your pool area should feel inviting and fun, but if the area around it is damaged, old, or outdated, it could have the opposite effect. Resurfacing your pool with practical and attractive finishes can make all the difference. Whether exploring new colour schemes or giving it a fresh coat, resurfacing your pool deck can help increase its visual appeal and your property’s overall market value.

Signs it’s Time to Resurface Your Pool Surrounds

Sometimes, we have so much fun enjoying our pools and their surrounding areas that we don’t notice when the concrete has become damaged, worn or is simply due for a facelift. Over time, regular use and exposure to Queensland’s weather can take a toll on pool surrounds. Here are a few telltale signs that your pool area is due for resurfacing by our experts:

Visible damage to the surface structure
Discolouration
Stubborn stains you can’t remove
Rough texture underfoot
Pooling water
Slippery surface
