What does a pool resurfacing warranty actually cover?

A standard 12-month workmanship warranty covers labor and materials from substantial completion (pool filled, equipment running). It excludes maintenance neglect — off-balance water chemistry, no brushing, debris left in the pool — plus owner drainage failures and acts of God. The contractor also has the Right to Repair: you submit a written complaint, they respond within 14 days and get access to fix it.

How do I know a resurfaced pool is watertight?

The 1/4-inch daily limit: a sound inground concrete shell loses no more than 1/4 inch of water per day. To confirm an active leak, run the 24-hour Bucket Test with the auto-fill off — if the pool drops more than the bucket, there's a leak in the contractor's scope to find and fix.

What is the critical rule during the first 30 days after resurfacing?

Water chemistry and brushing. Keep pH 7.4–7.6, alkalinity 80–120 ppm, calcium 200–400 ppm, run the pump 24/7 while cloudy, brush walls and floor several times a day, and never use roller-head vacuums or metal-based chemicals until the plaster fully cures.

How long does new pool plaster last?

Traditional marcite plaster lasts about 5–8 years under sun and chemical exposure. Premium quartz lasts longer, and premium pebble finishes (like Pebble Tec) are rated 15–20 years — the trade-off is upfront cost.
