Common questions
How much does it cost to replaster a pool in Chicago?
A pool replaster in Chicago typically runs $6,500 to $17,700, with most jobs near $10,600. Pebble and quartz finishes sit at the top of that range, standard white plaster at the bottom.
How often does a pool need to be replastered?
Plaster lasts about 7 to 15 years depending on water chemistry and finish. Staining, rough spots, and visible aggregate are the usual signs it is time.
Is pebble worth the extra cost over plaster?
Pebble finishes cost more up front but last longer and resist staining better, so the cost per year often comes out close to standard plaster.
How long does a pool replaster take?
Plan on three to seven days from drain to fill: chip-out, prep, application, and a startup that brings water chemistry back in line.
