Materials costs for tile start at about $4/sq.ft. Ceramics can be as high as $7-$50 per square foot. For stone and glass tile, the price can go up to $80-$50/sq.ft. Add in the cost of installation, and the price can reach six figures.
Another popular choice for fiberglass pools, and other options such as concrete, is epoxy paint. While it takes a few weeks for the epoxy to cure, it creates a beautiful, smooth coating that looks great in any swimming-pool. Epoxy is also less expensive than many other finishes and costs approximately $1,500 per job.
The pool will need to be cleaned again after you have used chemicals or a sandblaster. You can dispose of the stripped materials with a wet/dry vacuum.
