Is your pool losing its luster? Over time, factors like exposure to the elements, chemical imbalances, and wear and tear can leave your pool looking stained, faded, or discolored.

In this blog post, we’ll explore various solutions for addressing stained and faded finishes, whether you’re dealing with stained plaster, faded fiberglass, or discolored tile. Let’s dive in and discover how you can rejuvenate your pool and enhance its visual appeal!
Stained Plaster
Stained plaster is a common issue that can detract from the beauty of your pool. Whether it’s caused by mineral deposits, algae growth, or chemical imbalances, addressing stained plaster is essential for restoring your pool’s aesthetic appeal. Some solutions for stained plaster include:
- Acid Washing: Acid washing is a popular method for removing stains from plaster surfaces. A diluted acid solution is applied to the surface of the pool, where it reacts with the stains and breaks them down for easy removal. However, it’s essential to exercise caution when using acid washes, as they can damage the plaster if not applied correctly.
- Stain Treatment Products: There are various stain treatment products available on the market designed to target specific types of stains, such as metal stains or organic stains. These products can be applied directly to the affected areas to break down stains and restore the surface’s appearance.
- Plaster Resurfacing: In severe cases where stains are deeply embedded in the plaster or the surface is severely deteriorated, plaster resurfacing may be necessary. During this process, a new layer of plaster is applied over the existing surface, providing a fresh and clean finish.
Faded Fiberglass
Faded fiberglass pools can appear dull and lackluster, detracting from the overall aesthetic of your pool area. Fortunately, there are solutions available to restore the color and shine of faded fiberglass surfaces. Some solutions for faded fiberglass include:
- Gelcoat Restoration: Gelcoat restoration involves applying a fresh layer of gelcoat to the fiberglass surface to restore its color and shine. This process can rejuvenate the appearance of faded fiberglass and provide long-lasting protection against UV damage and chemical exposure.
- Fiberglass Painting: In cases where gelcoat restoration is not feasible, fiberglass painting may be an option. Specialized fiberglass paints are available that adhere to the surface of the fiberglass, providing a durable and attractive finish that restores the pool’s aesthetic appeal.
- UV Protection Coatings: To prevent future fading and damage, consider applying UV protection coatings to the fiberglass surface. These coatings form a protective barrier against UV rays, prolonging the life of the fiberglass and maintaining its color and shine.
Discolored Tile
Discolored tile can be a significant eyesore in an otherwise beautiful pool. Whether it’s due to mineral deposits, algae growth, or chemical exposure, addressing discolored tile is essential for restoring your pool’s aesthetic appeal. Some solutions for discolored tile include
- Tile Cleaning Solutions: There are various tile cleaning solutions available that are specifically formulated to remove stains and discoloration from pool tile. These solutions can be applied directly to the tile surface and scrubbed with a brush to remove stubborn stains.
- Tile Replacement: In cases where tile cleaning solutions are not effective, tile replacement may be necessary. Removing and replacing damaged or discolored tiles can restore the uniform appearance of your pool’s tile work and enhance its overall aesthetic appeal.
- Grout Restoration: Over time, grout lines between tiles can become discolored or stained. Grout restoration involves cleaning and resealing the grout lines to restore their color and prevent future staining.
