Once the primer dries, you can begin to paint the pool using topcoat epoxy. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and paint from the bottom to the top. Allow the topcoat completely dry before applying the next layer. You can sand the pool between coats to ensure that the next layer adheres correctly. Most pools require three-to four coats. This process can take anywhere from a few hours to several days depending on the temperature.
When you are calculating your budget, be sure to factor in labor and materials costs. For most jobs, you will need to have a professional do the work. Labor usually costs between $45-60 per hour. An average contractor can resurface your pool in just 1-2 week for about $3,000. You should keep in mind that more intricate pool jobs can take longer and require more labor.
Materials are often more expensive than labor. For basic plaster, you can expect to pay $1,000-$50,000 for designer tiling.
