Pool Tile, Coping, and Bond Beam Repair
For this pool renovation, our team replaced the perimeter pool tile and reset the coping stones. To do this properly, the coping was carefully removed so we could clean and repair the bond beam—a critical structural element that holds the tile and coping in place. Once the bond beam was restored, the coping was reset, and the new tile installation was completed. This process helps extend the life of the pool structure and improves the overall appearance.
Acid Wash for White Plaster Pool Surfaces
We also completed an acid wash on the white plaster pool finish. Acid washing removes a thin top layer of plaster, eliminating stains, scale, and discoloration. The result is a brighter, cleaner surface that looks almost new again.
Acid washing is a cost-effective way to refresh your pool’s plaster, but it can only be done a limited number of times before a full pool resurfacing or replastering is needed. If your plaster shows signs of wear after multiple acid washes, pool replastering is the long-term solution.

- Bond beam restoration maintains the structural integrity of your pool.
