What moves the price
- Surface area. Resurfacing is priced largely by interior square footage. Depth, benches, steps, and spas add area.
- Prep. Full chip-out of old plaster costs more than a bond coat over sound plaster.
- Finish type and color. Plaster, quartz, pebble, and polished pebble each step up in price.
- Repairs found after draining. Cracks, hollow areas, skimmer or fitting repairs, and leaks.
- Tile and coping. Priced separately by length and material.
- Access. Long hose runs, steep lots, or gated communities can add setup time.
- Water. Draining, disposal, and refilling. Ask your water provider about rates and any guidance for filling pools.
- Startup service. Some contractors include chemical startup and brushing; others leave it to you.
Lifespan and cost per year
Published guides commonly cite rough lifespans of about 7 to 12 years for standard plaster, 10 to 15 for quartz, and 15 or more for pebble. Real life depends on water chemistry and application. Dividing cost by expected years can make a more expensive finish look more reasonable if you plan to stay.
