Surface Repair & Coating

Swimming Pool Painting

Trapani Pools provides free estimates on all in-ground pool-painting services in the Lehigh Valley.

Before painting a pool, we check your pool walls for integrity issues and delamination. Any damage to the pool plaster must be repaired prior to painting the swimming pool.

We use a product called skid-tex, in between coats, on the pool’s steps. This product helps prevent slipping when entering or exiting your pool. We apply two coats of paint and the expected drying time is seven days. Ten days for indoor pools.

It is important to note that you must apply the type of pool paint that was previously used to paint your pool. If you do not know what type of paint was previously used, we will investigate and test a paint sample, in order to figure out what type of paint to apply. If you would rather apply a different type of paint than the existing paint, we can water-blast your pool to remove the current paint.

How can I tell if my pool surface needs painting?

In order to determine if your pool needs painting, run your hands across your pool wall. If your fingers have a chalky substance on them, you know it’s likely time to repaint your pool. This chalky substance may be the deterioration of your pool paint. Additionally, if your pool paint is blistering or peeling, it is time to repaint your pool. Or, just give us a call…we’ll assess your pool’s surface and make sound, HONEST, recommendations for the next step. Sometimes, contractors will just tell you all your pool needs is a new paint job, but often there are underlying issues that need to be repaired before any coating gets applied. We do it right the first time because we don’t want you having to repeat an expensive project due to poor workmanship.

Types of Swimming Pool Paint

There are 4 types of pool paints:

Chlorinated Rubber Base Paint
Vinyl Paint
Acrylic Paint
Epoxy Paint

Chlorinated Rubber Base Paint offers fusion bonding. This allows one coat of paint to melt into the next coat, which prevents water from getting in between the layers or coats of paint. Chlorinated rubber base paint helps prevent freeze/thaw damage. It is stain and chemical resistant and it works well in salt-water pools. Good quality rubber based paint helps resist the UV rays of the sun that can damage a painted pool. We recommend high gloss rubber based paints to help prevent algae and chemical staining. This will also make your pool easier to clean.

Vinyl Paint is great for resisting algae and chemical stain damage. Vinyl paint provides a flexible waterproof membrane that protects your pool walls from freeze/thaw damage. We recommend high gloss vinyl paint in order to help prevent algae and chemical stains. Additionally, this will make your pool easier to clean.

Acrylic Paint is very easy to apply. Acrylic paints are the only type of pool paints that are applied to a damp surface. Acrylic pool paint offers high gloss, stain resistant finishes. Acrylic paints tend to wear faster than vinyl or chlorinated rubber based paints.

Epoxy Paint will give you the longest lasting finish of any pool paint previously discussed. This type of paint comes in two separate gallons that are mixed with a 1 to 1 mix ratio, prior to application. The mixing process is done with a mechanical mixer for approximately 35 minutes. Epoxy paint is recommended to renovate and refurbish older plaster and fiberglass pools. It can be applied directly to both of these surfaces.

...Pool Looks AMAZING!!

” I had Trapani Pool Restoration repair my 25 year old gunite pool which had missing tiles (a lot of missing tiles) and the plaster was discolored and missing in some area’s. Charlie’s crew did an AMAZING job making the pool look new again. I hope I don’t need repairs for another 25 years but when I do I’ll be calling Trapani. “

” Trapani Inground Pool Restoration did an amazing job repairing our 21 year old pool this year. Chuck and his crew worked hard chipping out the loose plaster, repairing the missing tiles, and other minor repairs, and it only took 3 days. The pool looks brand new…we couldn’t be happier!!
