Pool Deck Restoration Services in London

Northern Elite Coatings transforms worn, cracked, and dated pool decks throughout London, ON with professional restoration services. With 17 years of concrete expertise, our Red Seal certified team specializes in decorative concrete overlays that completely renew your pool deck without the cost and disruption of removal and replacement. Why tear it out when you can put a coating over it? Our overlay systems create beautiful, slip-resistant surfaces that outperform traditional concrete while dramatically reducing project costs and timelines.

Don't Remove It - Improve It!

Most damaged pool decks don't need complete replacement. If the underlying concrete structure remains sound, decorative overlays provide a superior solution that saves money, time, and hassle. Instead of jackhammering and hauling away tons of concrete, we apply a specialized overlay directly over your existing surface. The result looks better than new concrete, costs significantly less, and can be completed in days rather than weeks.

Our overlay approach makes sense for pool decks with surface damage, staining, minor cracking, rough texture, or outdated appearance. The existing concrete serves as a stable foundation while the overlay creates an entirely new surface. You get a brand new pool deck without the expense of demolition, disposal, and new concrete installation. For homeowners throughout London, this restoration method delivers exceptional value and stunning results.

Common Pool Deck Problems We Solve

Pool decks face unique challenges that accelerate deterioration. Constant exposure to pool chemicals, water splashing, freeze-thaw cycles, and UV radiation takes a toll on concrete surfaces. Understanding these problems helps explain why overlay restoration works so effectively.

• Surface Cracking: Temperature changes and settling cause cracks that allow water penetration and further damage.
• Spalling and Flaking: Moisture gets below the surface and breaks apart the concrete during freeze-thaw cycles.
• Rough Texture: Worn surfaces become uncomfortable for bare feet and difficult to clean properly.
• Chemical Staining: Pool chemicals discolor concrete and create permanent stains that detract from appearance.
• Fading and Discoloration: Sun exposure and weather cause concrete to fade and look worn over time.
• Slippery When Wet: Smooth concrete becomes dangerously slippery around pools where safety matters most.

Decorative Concrete Overlay Systems for Pool Decks

Decorative concrete overlays transform your pool deck into a stunning feature that enhances your entire backyard. These specialized systems combine advanced materials with creative finishing techniques to produce surfaces that rival premium materials like natural stone or pavers. The overlay bonds permanently to the prepared concrete base and provides decades of beautiful, durable performance.

Stamped Concrete Overlays

Stamped overlays recreate the look of natural stone, slate, brick, travertine, and other high-end materials. The overlay material is applied and then stamped with texture patterns while workable, creating authentic-looking surface textures. Color is integrated throughout or applied to the surface for rich, natural tones. The finished pool deck looks remarkably like genuine stone or brick but costs far less and installs much faster. Popular patterns for pool decks include slate, flagstone, ashlar stone, and wood plank designs.

Cool Deck Coatings

Pool decks in direct sunlight become uncomfortably hot during summer. Cool deck coatings use special heat-reflective technology that keeps surface temperatures significantly lower than standard concrete. These textured coatings remain comfortable for bare feet even on the hottest days. Available in various colors, cool deck systems combine temperature control with attractive appearance and excellent slip resistance. For London pool owners who want to maximize comfort during Ontario summers, these coatings deliver outstanding performance.

Textured and Non-Slip Finishes

Safety around pools requires proper surface texture. We create non-slip finishes that provide excellent traction when wet without being uncomfortable for bare feet. Texture options range from subtle to aggressive depending on your preferences. Knockdown finishes offer moderate texture, while orange peel and splatter patterns provide more grip. These textured surfaces also hide minor imperfections and create visual interest while keeping pool users safe.

Colored and Stained Concrete

Color transforms pool decks from plain gray to beautiful outdoor features. Integral color is mixed throughout the overlay for uniform, fade-resistant results. Acid stains create rich, variegated tones with natural color variation that mimics natural stone. Water-based stains offer broader color palettes with precise control. Multiple colors can be combined to create borders, patterns, or accent areas that complement your pool and landscaping. The color options are virtually unlimited, allowing you to match any design vision.

Our Pool Deck Restoration Process

Professional installation determines how well your overlay performs and how long it lasts. Northern Elite Coatings brings 17 years of concrete experience to every pool deck restoration project in London. We follow proven techniques that ensure proper bonding, uniform application, and lasting results.

1. Assessment: We inspect the existing concrete to verify structural integrity and identify any repairs needed before overlay application.
2. Surface Preparation: The concrete is thoroughly cleaned and prepared to create the ideal profile for overlay bonding. Any necessary crack repairs or patching is completed.
3. Priming: A bonding agent is applied to ensure permanent adhesion between the existing concrete and new overlay.
4. Overlay Application: The overlay material is mixed to exact specifications and applied to the proper thickness.
5. Decorative Treatment: Stamping, texturing, or coloring is performed while the overlay is workable to achieve your desired finish.
6. Curing: The overlay is allowed to cure properly according to manufacturer specifications and weather conditions.
7. Sealing: Protective sealers are applied to enhance durability, protect against chemicals and stains, and maintain appearance.
