I'd appreciate some opinions on pool resurfacing. My house has an in-ground gunite pool that's currently surfaced with fiberglass. The fiberglass is about 8-9 years old, and it's starting to crack and pull away from the gunite in several places. It's got to go, and I don't want to repair it just to get another 1-2 years. The options are these, with the price per linear foot (around the pool perimeter), and total: --Plaster with 50% quartz for color ($27/ft = $2943) --Diamondbrite with color ($33.50/ft = $3651) --Pebbletec ($42.50/ft = $4632) All of those prices will include another $1500 for fiberglass removal and prep, plus about $500 to have the contractor start up and brush the pool for 2 weeks after the work is done. We want a darker blue color, and preferably one that is more durable. I am leaning away from the Pebbletec because of the rough surface. Which surface would you all suggest? (While "get both" may be a good response, it's not really feasible with pool resurfacing.) |
| When I owned my home in Florida, my pool had Diamondcoat or Diamondbrite (Diamond something) it was the best stuff at the time the pool was installed. I never had any problems with discoloring, cracks ect. My parent on the other hand had a plaster coating, their pool has had to be resurfaced twice in the last 15 years. |
