You won't need to resurface a fiberglass pool very often if it is high quality. Fiberglass pools can last a lifetime if they are maintained and cared for properly. A fiberglass pool resurfacing job can cost an average $7,500 in labor and parts. There are many popular finishes you will find in fiberglass pools. These can greatly impact your cost.
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.
