Pool resurfacing
Also called: resurfacing, replastering, replaster, refinishing a pool.
Pool resurfacing means draining a concrete pool, removing the old interior finish, prepping the shell and applying a new plaster, quartz or pebble finish. It is priced on interior square feet, floor plus walls, and the finish you choose decides how soon you do it again.
Why it matters
White plaster lasts about 7–12 years, quartz about 10–15 and pebble 15–20 or more, so compare finishes on cost per year, not on the sticker. A complete bid names the draining, the removal method, shell prep, the finish, and refill with chemical startup. Two colors or two surface types take two separate trucks. In Florida, nobody should drain a pool without a groundwater plan, because the high water table can float the shell.
In numbers
A 15×30 pool running 3.5 to 8 feet deep has about 970 square feet of interior, more than double its water surface.
