Since there are many different methods and procedures for resurfacing a concrete pool deck, we will outline the process of a concrete overlay. First, we remove any coating that is already applied to the concrete pool deck. If there is no previous coating, we continue on to the next step which is the filling of all cracks or chips on the deck. This is done with a special material that restricts all growth and movement of the crack as well as creates a smooth finish on the final coat. We then use a diamond wheel to open the pores of the concrete to allow the concrete overlay to properly bond to the surface of the concrete. After the entire concrete pool deck has been ground, we apply a coat of bonder to ensure a tight and durable bond. The next step is the installation of material which is trowled down and allowed to dry for at least 24 hours before we apply the final coat which is a sealer that can have an additive that is similar to sand to allow more grip when the concrete pool deck is wet.
