If your fiberglass and concrete pools are in good shape, you might consider painting them instead of resurfacing them. Spray on a new coat, such as NuPool, of epoxy paint. The paint should last for seven to ten years. While acrylic and rubber-based paints may be used, neither are as long-lasting as epoxy paint.

We will answer this with a big “it depends”. Properly cared for and maintained pool water chemistry can prolong the life of your pool finish. Also, homeowners and commercial property owners often keep their pool surfaces well beyond when they should resurface. Signs that it is time to resurface are when your plaster is peeling, flaking, check cracking, becomes rough, discolors, develops structural cracks, rust stains appear, paint peels off or the fiberglass fibers start to wear off.

While a plaster finish is more expensive than paint, it offers ample protection and a classic look for your pool. Most pool plaster is made of cement, sand, and water, while some higher-end mixtures include marble aggregate. It’s relatively easy to refinish a medium-size pool with plaster for around just $7,000-$10,000 and up, but keep in mind that the coating requires frequent maintenance.
