Diamond Brite Colors

Once you know resurfacing is the fix, the next choice is the finish color. Diamond Brite colors offer a durable, quartz-based pool finish available in a wide range of shades to match different water tones and design styles. The final color appearance depends on depth, sunlight, and surrounding materials. Below are popular Diamond Brite color options commonly used in residential pool resurfacing.

Our Professional Pool Resurfacing Process

Proper pool resurfacing in South Florida requires correct preparation, bonding, and start-up. Surface condition, prior repairs, and pool age all affect how a project is approached. Below is a general overview of how ESPI Pools handles plaster pool resurfacing using Diamond Brite® quartz finishes.

1.Drain & Initial Evaluation

The pool is safely drained so the interior surface, fittings, and penetrations can be fully inspected. Actual surface conditions are evaluated once the pool is exposed.

2.Surface Preparation

Compromised or hollow areas identified during preparation are addressed as needed to create a sound substrate. Surface cleaning and preparation methods are performed to promote proper bonding of the new finish.

3.Detail Work Around Fittings & Drains

Returns, lights, vacuum ports, and main drains are inspected and prepared so the new interior finish aligns correctly. Standard compliant drain components are installed as part of the resurfacing process. Additional corrections, if required due to prior construction methods or outdated components, are reviewed separately.

4.Bonding Agent Application

A cementitious bonding agent is applied to help ensure strong adhesion between the existing structure and the new Diamond Brite® finish.

5.Diamond Brite® Installation

The selected Diamond Brite® quartz pool finish is applied using proper technique for a uniform appearance, smooth feel, and long-term durability.

6.Fill & Start-Up Guidance

After installation, the pool is filled and initial start-up procedures are performed. Owners receive guidance for proper water balance and care during the curing period.

Specific preparation methods, material quantities, and any additional corrective work are defined in the written proposal after on-site evaluation.

What Affects Pool Resurfacing Cost in Miami?

Pool resurfacing prices aren’t one-size-fits-all. The real cost comes down to pool size, surface condition, and any additional work required once the pool is drained and evaluated. If you want a fast, accurate quote, send photos, your city, and basic pool dimensions.

Pool size & depth

Larger pools and deeper profiles require more labor and material. Steps, benches, spas, and special features can also affect scope.

Surface condition

Hollow areas, delamination, heavy patch history, staining, and prior coatings can change the amount of preparation needed for proper bonding.

Tile, coping & add-ons

Waterline tile, coping replacement, trim tiles, mosaics, skimmers, and other renovation items are priced separately when included with resurfacing.

Access, drainage & logistics

Limited access, long material runs, tight working space, and drainage restrictions can affect labor and scheduling.

Commercial compliance

Commercial pools may require additional coordination for safety standards, fittings, drain compliance, and documentation depending on the facility.

Fast quote checklist

Send (1) wide photos of the pool, (2) close-ups of problem areas, (3) your city, and (4) basic dimensions. If you already know your top Diamond Brite color choices, include those too.

All pricing is finalized in a written proposal after on-site evaluation. Surface preparation requirements can only be confirmed once the pool is drained and inspected.

Pool Resurfacing FAQs

Lifespan depends on the finish type, water chemistry, and maintenance. Traditional plaster is often shorter, while quartz finishes like Diamond Brite typically last longer when installed correctly and started up with proper water chemistry.

People often use the terms interchangeably. Technically, replastering refers to applying a new plaster-based interior finish. Resurfacing is the broader term that includes plaster, quartz, and other interior finishes.

Diamond Brite is a quartz exposed aggregate finish. Compared to standard plaster, quartz finishes are commonly chosen for improved durability and appearance when installed and maintained properly.

Most resurfacing projects take several days for prep and application, plus time for filling and start-up. The exact timeline depends on the pool condition, weather, and any additional renovation work like tile or coping.

We can start with a few photos, your city, and basic pool dimensions (length, width, shallow and deep depths). If you want a specific Diamond Brite color, tell us your top 2–3 choices.
