Arizona water and sun
The local reasons a Gilbert pool wears out
Two things do much of the damage to a pool finish in this part of Arizona: constant sun and hard water. The City of Scottsdale's 2026 water quality report lists hardness of 13 to 17 grains per gallon for Scottsdale's supply, and hardness differs by city and water source, so a Gilbert tap can read higher or lower. Over years of filling, topping off, and evaporating, hard water can leave mineral deposits on the shell, and combined with sun exposure that can make plaster and quartz surfaces go chalky, rough, or start to pit.
Material matters too. Plaster finishes cost roughly $4 per square foot in materials and tend to need replacing sooner, while pebble style aggregate runs closer to $10 per square foot and, per a national 2026 cost guide, can last 20 or more years against about 10 for plaster, so homeowners weighing a near term budget against a longer term plan should factor that gap in. Gilbert's rapid growth over the past few decades means pools here range in age, so there is no single answer for "how old is too old," it depends on the pool.
Costs
What it costs to resurface a pool
2026 national cost data puts pool resurfacing at $6,000 to $15,000, with an average of about $11,000. Closer to home, published 2026 cost data for the Phoenix metro shows pool remodel work averaging $9,331, with most homeowners paying somewhere between $5,732 and $12,976. Draining, refilling and cleaning before the new finish goes on adds about $425 to $475, per 2026 national cost data, and labor and finish choice move the number up or down. Our pool resurfacing cost page breaks all of this out by pool size and finish type if you want the full table.

Pebble style pool finish
: A pebble style finish is made of small natural aggregate exposed at the surface instead of a smooth troweled coat.Quartz pool finish
: A quartz pool finish blends fine quartz crystals into the surface coat of a Scottsdale pool instead of leaving the plaster plain and smooth.Pool replastering
: Plain plaster is usually the lowest cost finish option of the three main choices, and for a Scottsdale pool shell that is structurally sound, a straightforward replaster is often all that is needed.Pool remodeling
: A pool often wears in several places at once.Pool tile replacement
: The waterline tile band sits right where pool water evaporates and can leave mineral deposits behind.Resurfacing vs replastering vs remodeling
: These three words get used loosely, and that can lead Scottsdale homeowners to ask for the wrong job.

My Gilbert pool's plaster looks chalky, does that mean it needs resurfacing?
A chalky or rough texture can mean the plaster has worn down to the point where the finish layer itself is breaking apart, which cleaning or a chemical adjustment may not fix. A rough plaster surface is one of the signs a national 2026 cost guide lists for a pool that needs resurfacing.
Is pebble style or plaster a better choice for a Gilbert backyard?
Plaster costs less upfront, around $4 per square foot in materials, while pebble style aggregate runs closer to $10 per square foot but a national 2026 cost guide says it can last 20 or more years, against about 10 for plaster. The right call depends on your budget now versus how long you want to go before resurfacing again.
How long before resurfacing should I drain and prep my pool?
Draining, refilling, and cleaning happen as part of the resurfacing project itself, and 2026 national cost data puts that step at about $425 to $475 before the new finish goes on. We go over the full sequence and timing with you on the call back.
