Austin Pool Plastering & Replastering Specialists
Pool plaster is the interior surface your water and your family touch every day. When it becomes rough, stained, etched, or structurally cracked, replastering is the solution. H&H Tile & Plaster has been applying pool plaster across Greater Austin since 2004, and our approach accounts for the specific water chemistry and soil conditions of each Austin-area community — not a one-size-fits-all process applied identically regardless of where your pool is.
Austin’s water chemistry varies significantly across the metro. Homes served by Austin Water draw from the Colorado River (relatively soft by Texas standards, ~150–200 ppm calcium hardness), while communities served by the Edwards Plateau aquifer — Georgetown, Leander, Cedar Park, and much of Williamson County — have significantly harder water that is more aggressive on plaster surfaces and more prone to causing calcium carbonate scale on waterline tile. H&H calibrates startup chemistry protocols for your specific water source.
As certified applicators for Pebble Tec, Pebble Sheen, Diamond Brite, and all major quartz systems, H&H applies every finish to manufacturer specifications and provides the full manufacturer warranty that uncertified contractors cannot offer. For Austin homeowners investing in a premium finish, this certification is the single most important factor in ensuring your finish performs as promised.

Pool Plaster Finish Options for Austin Homeowners
Choosing the right finish for Austin means accounting for your specific water source, how long you plan to own the pool, and your budget.
Standard White Plaster
The most affordable pool interior finish, standard white plaster provides a clean, classic look. In Austin with consistent water chemistry maintenance, expect 7–12 years of service life. White plaster is calcium-based and more reactive to water chemistry swings than aggregate finishes — especially for Austin homeowners on harder Williamson County groundwater.
Quartz Aggregate (Diamond Brite & Similar)
Quartz crystals embedded in the plaster matrix significantly improve stain resistance, surface hardness, and available color options. Expect 12–18 years in Austin conditions. The most cost-effective upgrade for homeowners planning to stay in their home for the next decade or more — the extended lifespan almost always recovers the incremental cost.
Pebble Tec & Pebble Sheen
The premium tier — natural pebble aggregate finishes delivering 20+ years of durability, beautiful color depth, and the best resistance to Austin’s variable water chemistry. Particularly recommended for Hill Country west Austin homes on harder aquifer water. H&H is a certified Pebble Tec applicator, providing both workmanship and manufacturer warranty coverage.

Pool Plastering in Austin — FAQ
Common questions from Austin homeowners about pool plastering.
If deterioration is widespread — rough texture, pitting, or staining across large areas — replastering is appropriate. Spot repairs on deteriorated plaster rarely last or look good. If damage is truly isolated to one small area and the overall surface is sound, targeted repair may be appropriate. H&H provides an honest assessment at your free on-site estimate.
The primary cause is water chemistry imbalance. For Austin Water customers, the relatively soft Colorado River water can become corrosive when chemistry dips below saturation, pulling calcium out of plaster. For Williamson County groundwater customers, oversaturation causes calcium carbonate scale. Poor startup chemistry after installation is also a leading cause — H&H provides Austin-specific startup protocols to prevent early failure.
Most residential replastering projects take 3–5 days of active work. After filling, a 28-day chemical startup and cure period follows before the pool can be used normally.
Yes. H&H serves all of Greater Austin including Round Rock, Georgetown, Leander, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Hutto, Manor, Westlake, Bee Cave, Lakeway, Buda, Kyle, and surrounding communities.
For homeowners in west Austin communities on harder Hill Country aquifer water — Westlake, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Dripping Springs — Pebble Tec's superior chemical resistance makes the premium investment particularly justifiable. For Austin Water customers with softer Colorado River water, quartz aggregate is often the better value. H&H will give you an honest recommendation at your estimate.
