An above-ground pool costs about $10 to patch (DIY kit) and an average of $1,700 to fully replace. On the other hand, an inground pool costs an average of $20 to patch (DIY kit) and $5,000 to resurface if it’s not severely damaged. That cost varies significantly depending on your pool type, which I get into below.
No matter what pool you have they all will need to be surfaced. Here are the details about costs, materials, and methods.
Paint is the most straightforward and cost-effective of all the coatings. But it also has the lowest lifespan. Acrylic paint lasts between 2 and 3 years, epoxy paint lasts 7 to 10, and rubberized latex paint lasts somewhere in the middle. You can definitely do it yourself.
