A gunite spa gets used year round, which is more than most pools can say. Pina Pools builds, remodels and repairs custom gunite spas across the Permian Basin.
Attached Spa With Spillover A raised gunite spa built into the pool wall, spilling water back into the pool. Shared equipment, one clean design, and the most popular option we install.
Standalone Gunite Spa A custom built spa on its own, with its own equipment. Good for yards without a pool or for a separate quiet corner.
Spa Added To An Existing Pool We can add a gunite spa to a pool that didn't have one. It's usually done alongside a remodel so the finishes match.

An acrylic hot tub is cheaper and faster. A gunite spa is permanent, fully custom, and integrates with your pool and decking so it looks like part of the house rather than an appliance in the yard. If you want a spa that adds value to the property, gunite is the answer.
If your spa has stopped being somewhere you want to sit, it's usually a fixable problem.
- Interior Resurfacing Rough plaster, staining and discoloration all come from a finish at the end of its life. New plaster, quartz or pebble makes it feel new again.
- New Tile Waterline tile and raised wall tile carry most of the visual weight in a spa. Updating it changes the whole look.
- Jet Upgrades Old jets clog, weaken and go out of production. New jets and better placement change how the spa actually feels to sit in.
- Equipment and Automation New heaters, pumps, blowers and controls. Modern equipment heats faster and costs less to run, and app control means the spa is at temperature when you get home instead of an hour later.
If your pool needs resurfacing too, do both at once. Shared mobilization, matching finishes and a lower total cost than doing them a year apart.
What's included






What's included






Spas fail in a handful of predictable ways, and most of them are cheaper to fix than people expect.
Leaks Losing water fast usually means plumbing, a jet fitting, or a crack. We find it rather than guessing.
Weak Or Dead Jets Air lock, clogged lines, a failing pump or worn jet internals. Each one has a different fix and the wrong one wastes your money.
Heater Problems Won't fire, won't hold temperature, or cycles on and off. Could be gas supply, flow, a sensor or the heater itself.
Pump And Plumbing Failures Freeze damage, worn seals, failed valves and cracked lines.
Controls And Automation Dead panels, unresponsive controls and failed sensors.
Surface And Tile Damage Rough finish, delamination, loose tile and cracked grout.
Hector has been building gunite spas for over 50 years. When a problem is behind the shell or in the plumbing, that experience is the difference between one repair and a running tab.

Q: How long does a spa take to build?
A standalone spa usually runs three to six weeks. Attached spas get built alongside the pool or remodel. Most spa remodels run one to three weeks.
Q: Can you add a spa to a pool you didn't build?
Yes.
Q: How much does it cost to run?
Heating cost depends on size, heater type and how often you use it. A cover makes a large difference and we'll spec one.
Q: Is my spa leaking or just evaporating?
Spas evaporate fast when uncovered and heated. Cover it for 24 hours and see if the loss stops. If not, call us.
Q: Do you service acrylic hot tubs?
Our work is on gunite spas. Call us and we'll tell you honestly if it's something we handle.
Q: Should I repair or remodel?
If several things are failing at once and the finish is worn, a remodel usually costs less than repairing everything piecemeal. We'll tell you which side of that line you're on.
