An indoor pool resurfaced in white fine pebble
A white fine-pebble interior, a new waterline band, tile on the step edges, and the repaired coping surround finished in a platinum gray deck coating.
The room reads as one space again instead of a pool with problems around it.

Why indoor pools are different
Renovating an indoor swimming pool
An indoor pool gets used all year, and the work is not at the mercy of the forecast. No weather delays and a job that runs straight through are worth real days in a wet January.
This one was built in the early eighties and had reached the point where a renovation made more sense than another repair. The plaster had aged badly, tile was letting go along the waterline, and there was rust in the coping surround.
Loose tile came off, the waterline and step edges were retiled, and the rust-affected areas of the surround were cut out and repaired before anything was coated.
Color matters more indoors than out. An outdoor pool reflects open sky; an indoor one reflects the walls, the ceiling and whatever lighting is in the room.
A white interior keeps the water bright in a room that has no sky to borrow from.

An eighties indoor pool, resurfaced and re-edged
The interior, the waterline and the coping surround were dealt with together, so the room reads as one space rather than a pool with problems around it.

Came home from a two-week vacation and our pool was basically green. The previous company told us we needed to drain it, which sounded crazy. Pool Care LA came out, tested everything, explained what was happening and started the cleanup. Took a little time but now the water looks better than it has in years.Read in fullCollapse

We had another pool company for almost five years and slowly the service got worse. They would say they came but the pool was always dirty. Jake from Pool Care LA has been completely different. He actually checks the equipment and lets us know if something needs attention.Read in fullCollapse

Our pump stopped working on a Friday afternoon and we were worried because we had family coming over that weekend. Robert came out, found the problem and got everything running again. Honest guy, and he explained everything before doing the repair.Read in fullCollapse

I don't usually leave reviews but these guys deserve it. My pool was a mess and I was tired of trying to fix the chemicals myself. They came out and took care of everything. Water is clear now and I don't have to worry anymore.Read in fullCollapse

Bought a house in Beverly Hills with an older pool and honestly had no idea how to maintain it. The equipment was old and everything was confusing. They walked me through what needed to be done first and what could wait. No pressure. That was appreciated.Read in fullCollapse

We thought we needed a completely new pool system. Turns out it was just a few issues with the pump and filter. They saved us a lot of money by fixing what actually needed fixing.

We have two kids and keeping the pool safe is important for us. Since switching to Pool Care LA the water has been consistently clean and balanced. It is nice knowing someone is actually paying attention every week.Read in fullCollapse
What this indoor renovation demonstrates
Is an indoor pool easier to renovate than an outdoor one?
The schedule is. There are no weather delays and the job can run straight through, which in a wet January is worth real days. The dust is the harder part, and the room has to be cleaned before handover.
Does interior colour matter more indoors?
Yes. An outdoor pool reflects open sky; an indoor one reflects the walls, the ceiling, the windows and the lighting. A white interior keeps the water bright, while a dark finish in the same room reads closer to black.
What should I check before resurfacing an indoor pool?
Look up. Rust on ceiling fixings or blistering paint means the room has a humidity problem, and that will eat the new surface exactly as it ate the old one.

Thinking about resurfacing an indoor pool?
Tired plaster or quartz, loose waterline tile, rust around the coping — resurfacing lifts the whole room, provided the humidity in it is under control first.
