How much does rubber pool deck resurfacing cost?
It depends on deck size, base condition and thickness. After a free on-site measurement, within 24 hours, you get a fixed quote. Going over existing concrete is far cheaper than demolition plus pavers.
Will it survive pool chemicals and Florida rain?
Yes. The binder is UV- and moisture-stable, and the porous structure lets water drain through instead of pooling. Chlorinated splash doesn't degrade the granules.
Can you match my backyard style?
EPDM granules come in dozens of colors and can be mixed into borders, patterns and two-tone designs around the pool.
How soon can we swim?
Installation takes 1 to 3 days for most decks and the surface is walkable after 24 to 48 hours of curing.
Do it yourself rubber pool decking?
Small repairs yes, a full pool deck no. Ready mixed patch kits for poured rubber cover a few square feet and will fix a lifted edge or a gouge, and a homeowner can do that in an afternoon. A whole pool deck is different work. The granules and binder are proportioned by weight in a forced action mixer, spread onto a ground and primed slab, then hand troweled before the binder sets, and in Florida heat that working window is short. B-Cool has poured 1.6M sq ft since 2013 and finishes a typical deck in 1 to 3 days.
How long does rubber pool decking last?
Every B-Cool poured rubber pool deck carries a 2 year workmanship warranty, and what happens after that is set by the slab underneath. Poured rubber surfacing has no seams and no joints, so there is no edge for pool water to work under and lift. The binder is UV and moisture stable and the granules do not rot, so the part that ages is the wear layer on top, and a wear layer is renewed over the same deck instead of torn out. A deck bonded to a properly ground and primed slab is still in service long after an acrylic spray deck has been redone twice.
Is rubber pool decking good?
For a Florida pool deck, yes, and the reason is temperature. In our field readings poured rubber surfacing measured 99 F on the same afternoon that rubber tile read 134 F and bare concrete read 155 F. It is also porous, so splash and rain drain through instead of standing, and it stays grippy soaking wet. It bonds over the slab you already have, so there is no demolition and no dumpster. The trade is that poured rubber is a bonded system, not a peel and stick product, so it needs a crew, and that crew is on site 1 to 3 days.
What are some cool ideas for pool deck coatings?
Three ideas do most of the work on a poured rubber pool deck. A two tone field with a darker border reads like a rug and settles the transition to the coping. An inlay poured in the same pass, a house number, a compass rose or a club logo, never wears off because the color runs all the way through the EPDM granule. And a light field with a darker walkway edge keeps bare feet comfortable exactly where people stand. EPDM granules come in dozens of colors, and B-Cool lays physical samples on your own deck before anything is mixed.
