swimming pool resurfacing

A above-ground pool can be patched for $10 (DIY kits) and cost $1,700 to replace completely. An inground pool, on the other hand costs $20 to repair (DIY kits) and $5,000 to resurface, if it isn't severely damaged. This cost will vary depending on the type of pool, which I discuss below.

Pebbles, quartz, and other additives are very common. Quartz is stain-resistant and more durable than plaster. It can be mixed with pebbles to create a beautiful, sparkling pool surface. QuartzScapes are quartz-plaster combinations that are very popular.

To repaint a pool, the plaster must be in good shape. Pros suggest that the plaster surface be prepped with a wash of muriatic acid followed by a rinse with TSP (trisodium phosphate) and water. (Note: Exercise extreme caution when using muriatic acid and TSP and always follow manufacturers’ instructions.) Also, the old paint must be compatible with the new paint. For instance, rubberized latex paint won’t adhere to epoxy and vice versa.
