We can Transform Your Pebble Pool

with Advanced-Glass™

Pebble pool surfaces are known for their durability and natural appearance, but over time, even a well-maintained pebble finish can begin to show its age. Rough texture, staining, exposed or deteriorating aggregate, and ongoing maintenance can make an aging pebble pool less comfortable and more difficult to maintain. Advanced Glass™ provides a smooth, durable fiberglass finish that can be applied directly over properly prepared pebble surfaces, giving your existing pool a refreshed finish designed for easier maintenance and long-term performance.

When Your Pebble Surface Becomes a Problem

Pebble pool finishes have become a popular choice for their durability and natural appearance, but even a long-lasting surface can eventually become rough, stained, cracked, or difficult to maintain.


Common Pebble Pool Problems:

Rough & Uncomfortable Surface

Pebble’s textured finish can become increasingly uncomfortable as you use the pool. Rough aggregate can feel abrasive against bare feet, hands, knees, and elbows—especially on steps, benches, and other areas where swimmers frequently make contact.

Cracking & Surface Damage

Like other cement-based pool finishes, pebble surfaces can develop cracks over time as the pool shell moves and the finish ages. Cracks can allow water to reach areas behind the finish and may become more noticeable as the surface continues to deteriorate. PebbleTec itself notes that cracking can occur and is not considered a material defect under its protection plan.

Staining, Scaling & Discoloration

Even though pebble finishes are durable, they can still develop staining, calcium scale, discoloration, and other surface changes when water chemistry isn’t properly maintained. PebbleTec specifically identifies scaling, staining, algae, etching, and discoloration as maintenance concerns.

Loose or Deteriorating Pebbles

Over time, individual pebbles can loosen or fall out as the cement matrix surrounding them deteriorates. PebbleTec notes that some pebble loss is normal over the life of the finish, and that improper water chemistry can contribute to greater loss.

Dealing with roughness, stains, cracks, and ongoing maintenance can make an aging pebble pool frustrating to own. Advanced Pool Coatings helps homeowners move past these recurring problems with a durable fiberglass finish designed to provide a smoother, more comfortable surface that’s easier to maintain and enjoy.

Our Solution

Pebble pool finishes are popular for their durability, natural appearance, and textured look—but even a long-lasting surface can eventually become rough, stained, cracked, and difficult to maintain.

Built to Flex

Fiberglass is significantly more flexible than cement-based surfaces like pebble, allowing the finish to better accommodate normal ground movement. If damage does occur, fiberglass can often be patched without removing the entire finish.

Non-Porous & Easier to Clean

Fiberglass is non-porous, giving stains and algae fewer places to take hold. The smooth surface is easy to brush and clean, reducing the need for aggressive scrubbing or frequent acid washing.
