Cost of Replastering

[spudman]

I hope I'm not breaking any rules by discussing costs, however I would like to draw on the collective wisdom of this community. I'll leave out any company names to keep this safe.

Have a 27k inground 20 year old concrete pool. Current finish is pitted, worn through in several areas and stained near the deep end drain. I assume I am at the time to refinish.

Just had a quote of $8,300 for a basic white plaster to include 40lf of rim tile on the steps, loveseat and spa step. The cost rises to $10,000 if I use an aggregate finish, and up to $12,000 for a cobalt finish. Suggested material is an Ansybrite finish for the upgrade.

Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.

BTW I am in the Philly area of PA

I did my 30K pool with just white plaster and the cost was a little over 5K. Here in north east the costs are much higher than in FL and south. the Aggregate would have almost double my cost.
good luck

21000 gallon pool, had it replastered last summer for 3200.00. Nothing fancy, plain white plaster.


Shop around .

We paid $3,500 in March for replaster. Plain white, 18,000 gal. Prices vary & some PB's over-estimated the size of pool, too. Good luck. Forgot to tell you that we had our rim tiles on our steps and love seats plastered over and we feel it gave the pool a slightly more modern look. The steps look like a wedding cake!

Well I got a 2nd quote and am quite happy. Plain white plaster is $5,750. Adding a tint to the plaster is another $750. To install a Quartz aggregate finish is $8,500.

So the second company is nearly $3,000 cheaper than my first quote.

Also quoted $900 to tear out and replace 114LF of expansion joint.

Hope this information is useful.

I used Ultraguard. I'm quite happy with the results but its only been a little under 2 years.

My pool stays a lot cleaner and it only cost me a weekend, some beer, and a couple thousand in Epoxy.

It was a LOT of work doing the surface prep myself (Of which I spent a couple of months). I dont doubt why they charge so much.
