French Grey Quartz Pool Resurface in Fort Worth, TX
This Fort Worth diving pool had a dramatic step-to-deep transition that was hidden by stained white plaster. We refinished it in French Grey quartz so the step detail and deep-end color would show clearly.

What we found
- • Stained white plaster with etching on the steps
- • Step edges were hard to see underwater
- • Diving well had rough patches and discoloration
- • Tile was sound but grout was stained
The homeowner's goal
Make the step detail and deep end easy to see and safe, with a finish that resists staining.
What we did
- 1. Chipped out old plaster and cleaned the grout
- 2. Resurfaced the shell in French Grey quartz
- 3. Installed glass tile step markers
- 4. Brushed and cured the finish on a precise schedule
- 5. Balanced start-up water for the new quartz
