Gel coat is the number one material we use on residential fiberglass pools (especially after any kind of repair). It can be applied over raw fiberglass, and over your original gel coat. Gel coat will not adhere to any other materials.
Gel coat is what fiberglass pools are manufactured with when new, and the coating can stand up to chlorine or salt for up to 20 years before needing repaired or re-gel-coated. We have the same equipment used for applying this coating as the pool manufacturer that built your pool new originally. This portable equipment allows us to use a state of the art machine to spray on the gel allowing an even coating, consistent thickness and ability to produce an eye appealing gloss throughout the pool. This also protects fiberglass pools by building gel coat up to the thickness of a U.S. nickel, just as it was originally manufactured.
This is a cost efficient coating for fiberglass pools that also offers a piece of mind and years of service to come and superior protection.
Paint can provide you with a more flawless finish than tile. Aside from that, it frees you from tile joints getting dirty and tiles falling off.

There are basically three types of paintings for swimming pools, namely acrylic, epoxy and rubber-based. When it comes to pool painting, some experts would recommend epoxy painting, as it is more durable, longer lasting and can withstand chemical treatments and UV rays. This type of paint is known as Marine Paint and is divided into two parts, the hardener and resin.
