Bring New Life to Your Backyard

At Rainbow Pools, we specialize in gunite pool renovations and pool plaster replacement that refresh and modernize your swimming pool while restoring its original beauty. Our team manages repairs, resurfacing, and full pool renovations with a focus on durability, performance, and long-term value.

We serve homeowners in Cold Spring, Garrison, Hopewell Junction, and throughout the Hudson Valley. Our team brings pools of every size and age back to life, making them stronger, more beautiful, and ready for years of enjoyment.

When Is Renovation the Right Choice?

If you’re a homeowner who landed here, it might be because you aren’t sure if you need repairs, renovations, or a replacement. Gunite pool renovation is ideal when your pool’s structure is sound, but surfaces, features, or the layout no longer meet your needs. 

If your pool is showing cosmetic wear, outdated materials, or functional limitations, but doesn’t really require a full replacement, renovation is a cost-effective way to restore beauty, improve performance, and extend the life of your pool. 

Unlike full pool replacement, gunite pool renovation allows you to preserve the existing structure while upgrading finishes, features, and performance where it matters most. 

Transform Your Gunite Pool

Gunite pool renovations can range from a fresh interior finish to a complete redesign of the pool’s shape, depth, decking, and features. No matter the scope, Rainbow Pools guides you through every step, providing expert advice and delivering results that are both beautiful and built to last.

Gunite Pool Resurfacing & Plaster Replacement

Here are a few examples of the types of resurfacing and plaster replacement projects our team completes, so you can see the quality we deliver in every pool.

Pool Tile, Coping, and Bond Beam Repair

For this pool renovation, our team replaced the perimeter pool tile and reset the coping stones. The coping was carefully removed so we could clean and repair the bond beam, a critical structural element that supports the tile and coping. After restoring the bond beam, the coping was reset, and the new tile was installed. This work extends the life of the pool structure and enhances its overall appearance.

Acid Wash for White Plaster Pool Surfaces

We completed an acid wash on the white plaster pool finish, which removed a thin layer to eliminate stains, scale, and discoloration. The pool surface was restored to a clean, bright condition that looks refreshed and nearly new.

Acid washing provides a cost-effective way to refresh your pool’s plaster, though it can only be repeated a limited number of times. When the plaster shows signs of wear after multiple treatments, a full pool resurfacing or replastering offers a durable, long-term solution.

Why Choose Professional Pool Renovation Services?

• Bond beam restoration preserves the structural integrity of your pool
• Acid washing and plaster care refresh your pool’s appearance without a full replacement
• Replastering and resurfacing deliver a durable, fresh finish when plaster reaches the end of its life

What to Expect During a Gunite Pool Renovation

While every project is unique, most gunite pool renovations follow a clear, step-by-step process. It starts with an evaluation and design planning, demolition or surface prep, structural repairs if needed, finish and feature installation, and the final inspection. Our team communicates timelines clearly so you know exactly what to expect during each stage of the process.
