How we approachStains and discoloration
An acid wash removes a thin layer of plaster to reveal clean material underneath. It can brighten a dull pool and remove stains or mineral deposits. The technician looks at the finish first to recommend a treatment.
An acid wash does not suit every finish. A technician looks at the finish first and tells you whether an acid wash or stain treatment fits, or whether resurfacing is the better value.
If an acid wash is appropriate, we handle the draining to the sanitary sewer, perform the wash, and rebalance the water after the refill.

Questions about acid washing
All QuestionsWill an acid wash fix rough plaster?
An acid wash removes a thin layer of plaster to remove stains, but it will not smooth a rough texture. The technician will recommend resurfacing if the finish is too worn.
Where does the drained pool water go?
The water district requires pool water to be drained into the sanitary sewer, usually through the home’s clean-out, never into the street or a storm drain.
How much does an acid wash cost?
Our acid wash service starts from $550. Tile calcium removal and stain treatments are quoted after a technician takes a look at the pool.
What if my plaster is too old?
The technician explains what they found and recommends resurfacing only when it is the better value, providing a written proposal for the work.
