While most people will hire a professional to tackle, others will challenge resurfacing a pool by themselves. While this is an advanced endeavor, if you have the tools, time and know-how, it’s an achievable one.
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.
A concrete pool can be finished in tile with a beautiful and durable finish. Easy to maintain as single tiles can be replaced without the need for professional assistance. An average DIY job costs $50, including materials and time.
