How Long Does Diamond Brite last?
eight to 12 years
Diamond Brite lasts eight to 12 years before it fades and gets spotty. We recommend acid washing this finish after about five years to keep it bright. Each style and color has a different price, but a Diamond Brite finish costs about $5,000 to $10,000.
Can you paint over Diamond Brite?
If you have diamond brite, then painting over it isn’t a good idea. Paint usually goes on concrete pools, because it has an easier time bonding to the surface. Since DB is a plaster based product, it can start to flake away as it gets older, which would peel up any paint you put over it.
What happens if you don’t repair your Diamond Brite?
If you don’t repair your diamond bright finish, cracks may expand into the structural part of the pool. Cracks on diamond brite don’t necessarily mean you will have a leak, but when the cracks occur or expand to the structural part of your swimming pool, that’s when it will result in a swimming pool leak.

What kind of quartz is used in Diamond Brite?

Can you use non absorbed water on Diamond Brite?
Non- absorbed water may be removed by using sponges and/ or air. Standing water will weaken Diamond Brite and may cause washouts. Note: Hot, dry shells will cause the rapid setting of the plaster and result in check or shrinkage cracking and de-lamination.
