We are located in the Dallas Fort Worth area. We have a ~ 13,000 gallon in-ground plaster over gunite pool, which is 20 - 30 years old. There are several hairline cracks, but none are leaking. We do; however, have a leak, which we believe is in the pipe connecting the bottom main drain to the skimmer. We're not certain but we presume that the cause is our north Texas soils as they tend to move minimally over time.

We are in the process of getting remodeling quotes. We came across fiberglass as a resurfacing material. Fiberglass resurfacing seems to have many advantages. Does anyone know the disadvantages of using fiberglass to resurface over plaster? Fiberglass comes with a ten-year warranty and is little over $4K. Plaster ranges from right under $3K to $3.5K and comes with a one-year warranty.

Thanks so much!
