When you calculate your budget, make sure to include labor and material costs. Most cases you will need to employ a professional to complete the task. Labor typically costs between $45 - $65 an hour. Contractors can resurface pools in approximately 1-2 weeks, for $3,000. It is possible to resurface pools in as little as 1-2 weeks. However, larger and more complex jobs will take longer and may cost more in labor and parts.

If you are unsure of the name of your old paint, you can remove a few chips from your house and have them tested at a local store or send them off to Ramuc. For acrylics, pool paints cost $50 per gallon while epoxy costs $100 per gallon. One coat should be sufficient to cover 100 square feet.

When the preparation is complete, you can apply a new layer of plaster if required. This plaster is also known as exposed aggregate plaster. It is made up of plaster mixed with colored sands and pebbles. Exposure aggregate is generally considered a surface that is finished, however, plain plaster can be covered with paint (often acrylic, epoxy formulas, rubberized), fiberglass, or tile.
