Fix Your Ugly Pool Deck with a Fresh, Updated Look

How to transform your worn pool deck without starting from scratch.

Is the concrete in your pool area worn and dated? You’re not alone—many Philadelphia Main Line homeowners look at their ugly, weather-beaten pool decks and assume the only fix is a complete tear-out and replacement. But you often don’t have to start from scratch. There are effective, long-lasting solutions that can refresh your surface without the mess, cost, and downtime of demolition.

These before-and-after photos show how SUNDEK of Pennsylvania resurfaced a pool deck in Phoenixville, PA, transforming it from a worn and faded surface into a beautiful outdoor space. See more of this project.

Refreshing Your Pool Deck with Resurfacing

If your concrete looks dull, stained, or just generally past its prime, refreshing the surface can make a dramatic difference. Concrete resurfacing allows you to give your pool deck an updated appearance without removing the existing slab. It’s a smart, cost-effective way to cover imperfections, enhance durability, and introduce an entirely new style.

Redoing A Cracked or Damaged Pool Deck

You might be wondering: Is it possible to resurface your pool deck even if it has damage such as cracking or spalling? In many cases, yes, resurfacing can still be a great option. At SUNDEK of Pennsylvania, we can resolve the damage on your surface. We recommend resurfacing the entire pool deck afterward with Classic Texture to create a consistent, uniform appearance.

We also offer our Custom Scoreline Effect, specifically for concrete that has cracking. With this approach, we incorporate the existing cracks into the design of the resurfaced pool deck. The cracks and the new hand-created scorelines create a cohesive pattern that looks intentional.

At a residence in King of Prussia, PA, SUNDEK of Pennsylvania used the Custom Scoreline technique with Classic Texture to revive this cracked pool deck. See more of this project.

Removing and Replacing Your Concrete Pool Deck

While resurfacing is a great option, it’s not right for every situation. If the concrete is too damaged or unstable, full replacement may be the safest long-term solution. If the cracking is extensive or structural, repairing may not hold up over time. A trustworthy contractor will always assess your surface and tell you honestly whether resurfacing is viable.

Design Options for Your Updated Pool Deck

When it comes to giving your pool deck a new look, the creative possibilities are almost endless. Decorative concrete coatings come in a wide range of colors, textures, and patterns, so you can choose something timeless or develop a look that’s uniquely yours.

At SUNDEK of Pennsylvania, we can create various designs with our Classic Texture coating:

  • Custom patterns: Using various colors, we can create unique designs that fit the style of your pool area.
  • Mimicking other materials: With our wide variety of colors, we can create the appearance of other materials such as brick.
  • Color banding: Break up your large monocolor deck by using color banding.
  • Creative coloring: Have something specific in mind for your pool area? Just let us know and we can make it come to life.
