Quick answer
"Standard pool" = approximately 400–600 sq ft of surface area. Larger pools and complex shapes cost more.
Starting at $4,500
Colored quartz crystals mixed into the plaster. More durable and stain-resistant than standard plaster, with a subtle sparkle. Strong long-term value.
Starting at $5,800
Plaster base with pigment added for blue, gray, or custom tones. A deeper water color and the same durability as standard plaster.
Starting at $8,500
Natural exposed pebble finish. The longest-lasting option, with a textured, premium look. Warranty depends on the manufacturer*.
Starting at $8,500
Smaller pebbles for a smoother feel underfoot. More comfortable to walk on than full pebble. Warranty depends on the manufacturer*.
Starting at $13,000
Fully tiled surface. The most durable and luxurious option, with endless design possibilities. Highest upfront cost, lowest lifetime cost when you stay in the home long enough.
What affects the price
Online price guides can only get you so far. The actual cost depends on your specific pool — size, shape, what we're working with, and what we find once we look. A small plunge pool and a large freeform with a spa can differ by $10,000 or more using the exact same finish.
The free inspection takes the guesswork out. We measure, assess the existing surface, identify any repairs needed, and give you a written estimate with an exact number — not a range, not a ballpark. You'll know what you're paying before you commit to anything.
No obligation, no pressure. If the price isn't right for your budget, we'll tell you which options would bring it down.
The inspection is free. The written estimate is free. You only pay when you decide to move forward.
Every component listed separately: materials, labor, prep, repairs, permits. No hidden line items.
Your written estimate is valid for 30 days. The price we quote is the price you pay.
The details
01
The biggest factor. Surface area (square footage of interior) determines material and labor. Freeform pools with curves, steps, and benches cost more than rectangles.
02
Plaster is the most affordable. Quartz and pebble cost more upfront but last longer. Warranty depends on the manufacturer of the materials selected*.
03
Cracks, structural damage, hollow spots, or active leaks add repair costs before resurfacing begins. The free inspection identifies these before you commit to anything.
04
How easy is it to get equipment to your pool? Tight backyard access, fences, narrow side yards, or heavy landscaping can add time and cost.
05
Waterline tile: $1,000–$3,000+. Coping repair: $1,500–$4,000+. Deck resurfacing: $2,000–$6,000+. Underground plumbing: varies. We itemize everything in the written estimate.
06
Fall and winter are ideal for resurfacing in Florida. Some companies offer off-season pricing — ask us about current availability when you call.
Where the money goes
A typical Orlando pool resurfacing breaks down into these five buckets. Your specific numbers are spelled out in the written estimate.
| Component | % of total | What you're paying for |
|---|---|---|
| Materials | 30–40% | Plaster, quartz, pebble, tile, bonding agents |
| Labor | 35–45% | Skilled crew, 3–5 days of work |
| Equipment | 10–15% | Pumps, mixers, trowels, protective gear |
| Prep work | 10–15% | Draining, chipping, cleaning, repairs |
| Permits & admin | 5–10% | Local permits, inspections |
Free written estimate, no obligation, no pressure. We'll measure your pool, identify any repairs, and quote you an exact price — not a range.
Smart spending
Resurface the pool and deck together for package pricing, one crew, and one permit. Most homeowners save 10–15% versus doing them separately.
If you're planning to move within 5–7 years, a quartz or pebble upgrade doesn't pay for itself. Colored plaster at $5,800+ gives you a clean, durable pool without over-investing. We help you match the finish to your timeline.
A small repair now prevents a much larger bill later. If you suspect a leak, getting it fixed before resurfacing protects your new surface.

Common questions
Most Orlando pool resurfacing projects start at $4,500 for quartz and go up from there depending on the finish. Colored plaster starts at $5,800. Pebble and mini pebble start at $8,500. Glass tile starts at $13,000. Pool size, shape, and condition all affect the final number. We provide a free written estimate after the inspection so you know the exact price before committing.
Pool size and finish type are the two biggest factors. Beyond those, the condition of the existing surface matters — cracks, hollow spots, structural damage, and active leaks all add repair work. Accessibility (how easy it is to get equipment to the pool) and any add-on work (waterline tile, coping, deck) also shift the number. The free inspection identifies all of this upfront so there are no surprises.
A complete scope of work: surface area, finish type, surface prep details, any repairs identified, waterline tile (if applicable), materials, labor, timeline, and total price. We itemize everything so you can see exactly where the money goes. The estimate is good for 30 days and there's no obligation to move forward.
We can discuss payment options during your free estimate. Many homeowners choose to finance larger projects (pebble, glass tile) and pay over time. Ask us about current options when we meet.
No. We include everything in the written estimate. The only variables are what we discover during the free inspection — cracks, leaks, or substrate damage. If we find something, we tell you and quote it before doing the work. There are no surprise change orders and no pressure to add services you don't need.
White and colored plaster: 10–15 years. Quartz: 15–20. Pebble: lifetime warranty available in some cases*. Glass tile: 20+ years. Premium finishes cost more upfront but deliver better long-term value when you stay in the home.
Plaster is the most affordable because the material and labor are simplest. Quartz adds crystalline material that costs more but lasts longer. Pebble uses natural stone exposed through the surface, hand-troweled by skilled crews. Glass tile is the most labor-intensive, with each tile set individually. The price difference reflects the materials, the skill required, and the lifespan you get.
The "starting at" prices are accurate for standard residential pools (400–600 sq ft of surface area) in the Orlando market. Your actual price depends on your specific pool — size, shape, condition, finish choice, and any add-on work. The free estimate is the only way to get an exact number, and it's a written quote good for 30 days.
No obligation. No pressure. Just real numbers from real pool experts.
