pool plastering

What is pool resurfacing? And how does it work? If your pool is in-ground concrete, it is not possible to just put a new surface on top of the existing one. You must prepare the existing surface for a new plaster or pebble coat by either chipping away the plaster, bond coating and sandblasting it or hydro blasting it. These are all acceptable methods according to the National Plasterers Council. However, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Once the surface is prepared properly, you can apply the final coat of plaster, quartz or exposed pebble, or polished pool finish.

There are some products that can be used for DIY replastering. www.sider-crete.com sells a kit that covers 60 feet and costs $130. However, most DIY pool plaster products are intended for small repairs. According to homeadvisor.com's national average, professional replastering will cost around $5 per square foot. For plain plaster, the cost is nearly twice that for polished exposed aggregate plaster.

Contractors will remove any plaster that has been applied to your pool in order to expose the pebbles.
