Pool Remodeling in San Antonio

Q: Should I remodel or build new?

If the gunite shell is sound, remodeling usually makes sense. If you want a very different shape, size or location, a new custom build may be the better fit. New pools start around $75–100K, and most land at $100–200K+.

Q: Do I need permits for pool renovation work?

Some renovation scopes require permits, especially those involving structural changes, gas or electrical work, or major equipment relocation. When permits are required, Worthey Aquatics handles the permit process and coordinates inspections as part of your project.

Pool Resurfacing & Replastering

Resurfacing is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make. A new interior finish gives your pool a fresh, smooth surface and an updated look. Options can include:

Traditional plaster
Durable pebble finishes
Premium quartz or glass bead finishes

New Tile, Coping & Decking

Waterline tile, coping, and decking frame your pool and set the tone for your entire backyard. We can:

Replace dated or damaged waterline tile
Install new coping (the border around your pool’s edge)
Upgrade decking with modern, slip-resistant materials

Structural Changes & Shape Updates

If your lifestyle has changed, your pool layout can change with it. Depending on your existing shell and site conditions, we can:

Add or expand shallow lounging areas
Incorporate a tanning ledge (Baja shelf)
Adjust depth profiles where feasible
Modify steps, benches, or swim-outs

Add Custom Features

Bring your pool into the 21st century with new custom features like:

Waterfalls or sheer descents
Bubblers, fountains, or scuppers
LED lighting for ambiance and safety
Built-in spas or hot tubs
Fire bowls or fire pits for dramatic nighttime appeal

Energy-Efficient Equipment Upgrades

Older pools often run on outdated pumps, filters, and heaters that drain your wallet and the environment. We’ll upgrade you with the latest energy-efficient technology, including smart automation that lets you control your pool from your phone.

Some renovation scopes require permits—especially those involving structural changes, gas or electrical work, or major equipment relocation. When permits are required, we handle the permit process and coordinate inspections as part of your project.
