Your Pool Resurfacing questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

How much does pool resurfacing cost?

Pool resurfacing costs $6,000 to $15,000, depending on the pool's size, type, and the material used for finishing. Most inground pools have plaster surfaces. The cost to replaster a pool is $6,000 to $8,000.

Resurfacing with other finishing materials like pebble, aggregate, or polymer costs up to $15,000. After the materials dry fully, refilling the pool with water costs $40 to $2,000.

What is pool resurfacing?

Pool resurfacing is the act of removing the existing finish by chipping, sandblasting, hydro-blasting, or chemically removing it. After that, the contractor replaces the finish with a new surface made of plaster, aggregate, tile, paint, or polymer. Resurfacing gives your pool a fresh appearance and extends its lifespan by preventing new cracks and leaks.

How do you know when your pool needs resurfacing?

Look for these signs that indicate your pool needs resurfacing:

  • Flaking or peeling
  • Chips or cracks
  • Stains or discoloration that you can't clean off
  • Rough texture 
  • Loss of pebbles or other aggregate
  • Corroded grout between tiles
  • Chalky residue near the edge

How often should you resurface a pool?

You should resurface a pool every 7 to 15 years, depending on the finish it has. Plaster only lasts about 7 to 12 years, while aggregate or pebble finishes last 15+ years. Maintaining proper pH balance and keeping the water clean will increase the overall lifespan of the pool's surface.

How long does it take to resurface a pool?

Resurfacing a pool takes 5 to 7 days, depending on the pool's size, material, and finish. Larger pools take more time and effort than small, compact ones.

How do I choose a pool resurfacing company?

For the best results, hire a professional by following these helpful tips:

  • Compare 3 or more estimates for resurfacing with the same finishing materials.
  • Choose a company that specializes in pool resurfacing instead of just cleaning.
  • Look for members of the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP).
  • Read pool company reviews on HomeGuide and Google.
  • Select a licensed, bonded, and insured pool company.
  • Get a written, itemized estimate and contract.
  • Don't pay in full before the work begins.

What questions should I ask pool resurfacing contractors?

Ask pool resurfacing contractors these questions to make sure the job goes smoothly:

  • How long has your company been in business?
  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
  • Are you an APSP member?
  • Can you give me any references from recent resurfacing projects?
  • What material do you recommend for my pool, and why?
  • How long will resurfacing job take?
  • How soon should I fill the pool with water afterward?
  • Do you guarantee your work or offer a warranty?
