Safe, Durable & Decorative Solutions by Sundek of Austin
At Sundek of Austin, we specialize in professional pool deck resurfacing for homeowners and commercial properties across Central Texas. Since 1986, we’ve helped clients in neighborhoods like Westlake, Steiner Ranch, Circle C, Lakeway, and Dripping Springs transform aging pool decks into safer, cooler, and more attractive outdoor spaces.
Austin pool decks face intense sun, heavy foot traffic, pool chemicals, and seasonal weather changes. Over time, surfaces fade, crack, become slippery, or simply look outdated. Professional resurfacing restores performance and appearance — without the cost or disruption of full replacement.
Why Resurface Instead of Replace?
If your concrete is structurally sound, resurfacing is usually the smarter solution.
Pool deck resurfacing allows you to:
- Improve slip resistance around wet areas
- Reduce surface heat absorption in Austin summers
- Repair cracks and surface imperfections
- Refresh outdated finishes
- Extend the life of your existing slab
In most cases, resurfacing is faster, less disruptive, and more cost-effective than replacement.
Built for Austin’s Climate
Central Texas pool decks experience:
- High UV exposure year-round
- Surface temperatures exceeding 140°F in summer
- Chlorine and salt exposure
- Expansion and contraction from weather shifts
Choosing the right system is critical for long-term performance. Our coatings are engineered specifically for Austin-area conditions and installed using proven processes.
Our Pool Deck Resurfacing Systems
The coating system we use depends on your deck's current condition, your design goals, and how the deck is used. We install all three of the primary SUNDEK pool deck systems — here's how they compare.
| Classic Texture | SunSplash | Cool Deck | |
| Finish | Spray + trowel | Spray texture, orange | Light-colored acrylic overlay |
| Best for | Residential & commercial pools | Budget-friendly | Full-sun Austin decks |
| Slip resistance | High | High | High |
| Heat reduction | Yes (lighter colors) | Yes (lighter colors) | Yes — primary benefit |
| Custom colors | Yes — wide palette | Yes — wide palette | Yes — lighter tones |
| Cost range | $5–$8/sq ft | $3–$6/sq ft | Varies by system |
Sunsplash
SunSplash is our spray-textured acrylic coating applied directly to the existing concrete surface without troweling. The spray-only application leaves a light orange-peel texture that is skid-resistant and drains quickly — a practical choice for commercial pool areas, apartment complexes, and residential pools where a clean, functional finish is the priority. It applies faster than Classic Texture and comes in a wide color range.
SunSand - Slip-Resistant Textured Coatings
Enhanced grip for wet environments.
Fine aggregate systems improve traction and safety around active pool areas.
Best for: Families with kids, safety-focused upgrades and high-slip zones
SunPlay - Pool Deck Safety Surfacing
Comfort-focused systems designed for high-use recreational areas.
Soft, slip-resistant finishes are ideal for splash zones and commercial spaces.
SunStamp - Decorative Stamped Pool Deck Overlays
Architectural style with durability.
Stamped overlays replicate slate, stone, or tile while resurfacing your existing concrete.
SunStone - Limestone-Style Pool Deck Finishes
Natural stone appearance without demolition.
Limestone-inspired overlays deliver a high-end look ideal for modern Austin homes.
Pool Deck Staining & Color Enhancements
Existing pool decks can also be refreshed using: Acid stains, Water-based stains, Concrete dye systems
Classic Texture
Classic Texture is the most widely installed pool deck system in the SUNDEK product line and our most popular option for Austin residential pools. It’s an acrylic, water-based spray texture applied in two stages: first the texture coat is sprayed on and troweled down to a smooth-yet-grippy finish, then a color coat is applied in two passes to deliver the final look. The result is a slip-resistant, comfortable-underfoot surface that holds up to pool chemicals, sun exposure, and heavy barefoot traffic.
Cool Decking
On a full-sun Austin pool deck in July, bare gray concrete can reach surface temperatures above 150°F. Cool deck coatings address this through two mechanisms: the acrylic material itself absorbs significantly less heat than plain concrete, and lighter color selections reflect more solar energy. Both Classic Texture and SunSplash function as cool deck systems when installed in lighter tones — our team can help you pick colors that balance aesthetics with surface temperature.
Pool Deck Resurfacing Cost in Austin, TX
Resurfacing is consistently less expensive than replacing a pool deck — often by a factor of three or more — and the results are indistinguishable from a new pour when done correctly. Here’s what to expect in terms of cost for Austin projects.
Typical Cost Ranges
- Spray texture coating (SunSplash): starting from $3–$6 per square foot installed
- Classic Texture with color coat: starting from $5–$8 per square foot installed
- Stamped overlay or decorative finish: $8–$15+ per square foot depending on pattern complexity
- Most residential pool decks in Austin (300–600 sq ft): $1,500–$5,000 for standard resurfacing
Surface repairs completed before resurfacing — crack filling, spalling repair, joint work — are priced separately based on the scope of damage found during the estimate. We assess every deck on-site before quoting, so the estimate you receive reflects your actual project. For a full overview of concrete resurfacing pricing, see our cost guide →

Pool Deck Resurfacing FAQs — Austin, TX
How long does pool deck resurfacing take?
Most residential pool deck projects in Austin complete in 2–4 days. Day 1 is prep and repairs. Days 2–3 are coating application and color coat. Day 4 is final inspection and cure. Larger commercial decks or projects requiring significant repairs may take longer.
How long does a resurfaced pool deck last?
A properly installed and maintained SUNDEK coating on a residential pool deck typically lasts 7–12 years before recoating is needed. The concrete slab itself lasts indefinitely — it’s the surface coating that wears and will eventually need to be refreshed. Regular cleaning and keeping the deck sealed extends coating life significantly.
What's the difference between Classic Texture and SunSplash?
Classic Texture involves a spray application that is then troweled down, creating a smooth-textured finish that is slightly more refined underfoot. SunSplash is spray-only and leaves a lighter orange-peel texture. Classic Texture is our most popular residential option; SunSplash is faster to apply and a common choice for commercial pools and budget-conscious resurfacing projects. Both are slip-resistant and available in a wide color range.
Do I need to drain the pool before resurfacing the deck?
No — pool deck resurfacing is applied to the deck surface, not the pool interior. The pool does not need to be drained. We do ask that you keep people and pets off the deck during application and for the cure period afterward. Pool use can typically resume 24–48 hours after completion.
Is a resurfaced pool deck slippery?
Our coating systems are specifically designed to be slip-resistant when wet. Both Classic Texture and SunSplash incorporate texture into the surface itself, and we add non-slip aggregate to the finish coat as standard practice on all pool deck projects. A newly sealed concrete deck that was not designed for pool use is far more hazardous than a properly textured SUNDEK surface.
Can you resurface a cracked pool deck?
Yes — in most cases. Cracks are repaired before the coating is applied, and the coating bridges and conceals minor surface cracking. For cracks caused by settlement or structural movement, we address the underlying issue first. The goal is a repair that holds, not a coating over a problem that will reopen.

When is the best time to resurface a pool deck in Austin?
Spring (March–May) and fall (October–November) are the ideal windows in Austin. Summer heat accelerates drying times, which requires careful scheduling, and the intense sun can cause uneven curing if the deck is in full sun. That said, we resurface pool decks year-round in Austin — we start early in the morning on summer projects and schedule coating application for cooler parts of the day.
How much does pool deck resurfacing cost in Austin, TX?
Pool deck resurfacing cost in Austin depends on several factors: the size of your deck, its current condition, the coating or overlay system you choose, and how complex your design is. A basic acrylic texture coating starts at a lower price point than a full decorative overlay or stamped finish. The most accurate number comes from a free on-site estimate — request one here or call 512-928-8000.Content goes here ..
What factors affect pool deck resurfacing cost?
The main cost drivers are deck size and shape (freeform or multi-level decks involve more labor), the coating system selected — SUNDEK Classic Texture, stamped overlays, and SunStone limestone finishes each carry different material costs — surface condition, color count, and whether coping or vertical surfaces are included in the scope.
Is pool deck resurfacing cheaper than replacement?
In almost every case, yes — significantly so. Full concrete demolition and repour involves demo labor, haul-away, forming, and a new pour. For pool decks with a structurally sound slab, resurfacing delivers a result that looks and performs like new at a fraction of the cost. We’ll never recommend resurfacing a slab that isn’t viable — if replacement is the right call, we’ll say so.
