Warning signs your pool needs repair
- Water level dropping faster than evaporation
- A pump that is loud, vibrating, or losing prime
- Cracks in the plaster, tile line, or deck
- Chalky, rough, or heavily stained interior finish
- Loose, popped, or calcium-caked waterline tile
- Coping that rocks or sounds hollow underfoot
- A heater that wonโt fire or short-cycles
- Cloudy water that wonโt clear despite balanced chemistry
How long should a pool finish last before it needs repair?
Knowing your finishโs lifespan tells you whether to patch or resurface. In Arizonaโs hard water and sun, these are realistic expectations:
- Plaster: 5โ7 years before etching, staining, and roughness set in.
- Quartz: 12โ18 years, with better stain and chemical resistance.
- Pebble: up to 30 years, the longest-lasting interior for our climate.
- Waterline tile: decades, but calcium and movement loosen it sooner.
If your plaster is 5โ7 years old and already chalky or stained, a resurface usually makes more sense than repeated spot patching. Compare finish options on our pool resurfacing page.
