Some helpful information on things you need to consider when deciding on whether you can replaster your own pool. Visit my webpage at https://www.bdpgarage.com

Where can I buy diamondbrite plaster?

Where can I buy pool tile?

My cost calculations for my pool were:
Plaster cost: $3489
Tile: $690
Bond coat $408
Plaster+tile shipping: $235
Thinset: $200
Grout: $115

Grand total: $5137 in materials.

You’ll also need various tools and equipment like a mixer. Either a hand mixer in which you’ll need to bring the plaster down into the pool via buckets or an automatic pump/sprayer. I found one from https://quikspray.com that they say can be rented locally. The cost to purchase one is in the $10k range so renting is more appropriate for DIY purposes. I don’t have a rental estimate but safe to say it’s probably in the $500 range pretty easily.

So total expenditure of roughly $6k in materials and equipment gives you an idea of how much you’re willing to pay a professional in labor costs and make a good judgement about whether to DIY your replaster job or not.
