It comes in many styles and colors to suit all budgets. Paint costs on average around $1,500 for a medium-sized pool. DIY is an option. If the plaster is in need of repairs or cracking, I would not recommend this route.

While tile is commonly used as a border around a swimming pool's waterline it's not uncommon to see porcelain, stone, and ceramic tiles installed across the entire pool. It is applied on top of plaster and is done in the same way as in a bath: thinset glues mats made from smaller tiles or individual tiles to the plaster substrate.

The thin-set helps to bond the new tiles to the appropriate substrates. It is important to remember that thin-set doesn't stick well to paints or other non porous surfaces, even if they are coated or sealed.
