So, your pool is looking a little worse for wear these days and you are considering having it resurfaced? Well, then you’ll likely want to know how much it is going to set you back! The fact is, without knowing your situation, it can be difficult to offer an accurate estimate. There are so many different variants that can affect the price of a resurfacing, from the materials, size and scope, and location. In any case, we will give you some averages to work with for the time being. Otherwise, your best option will be to contact a few of your local swimming pool resurfacing companies to get a more accurate figure from them. They would be able to come out and price-up the job for you.
Now, one important think to consider is that if you are needing to resurface your pool, then there’s a good chance that the working parts in your swimming pool may need some work as well. Thus, your replastering job, for example, may end up costing you even more. Then again, it depends on the condition of your pool. You may be able to get away with a simple resurfacing job!
For a standard bit of cosmetic work, you could be looking at $1000. Otherwise, you may end up having to pay over $10,000.
What is the average cost of replastering a pool in Australia?
The average cost of replastering a pool can set you back anywhere between $2000 and $8500. That is, if you need to whole pool replastering. If you only need certain cracks and spots filling in, then this could be considerably less. However, the best approach is typically to resurface the entire pool, rather than focus on a few cracks. The fact that they have already started to form tends to mean that there will be more on the way. In that case, you’ll only have to end up forking out more money on a resurfacing project in the end.
You can indeed attempt to reduce the pool replastering cost by doing a DIY job, but this isn’t something that we’d recommend. Not unless you have significant experience with this kind of thing. It is all too easy to get the mixture wrong, and even apply the plaster incorrectly. A botched job isn’t going to last long at all and when it eventually falls into disrepair, you’re going to need to pay for the professionals to come and fix it. Thus, your best option is to bite the bullet and simply have the professionals take care of the replastering from the get-go.
Why is the cost of pool replastering so high in Australia?
It’s all relative. Think about how much a swimming pool actually costs. For an inground concrete swimming pool you can pay up to $100,000! That’s an awful lot of money, but again, it is all relative. So, when it comes to the pool being such an expensive asset, it makes sense that the swimming pool replastering cost isn’t going to be dirt cheap. Yes, there are ways of saving money, but you are still going to have to fork out a fair amount of money on your renovation, particularly if you want your swimming pool to be looking brand-new again.
I guess the only thing that you can do is to reach out to a pool renovations company in your local area and consult with them. They can price up the job based on your area, the size of the pool, the materials that you want to use, and how much work needs to be done. That way, you can make an informed decision as to whether or not this is something that you really want to proceed with.
That said, leaving your pool and allowing it to fall into further disrepair will be a terrible waste. Not only will you no longer be able to use the swimming pool, but should you decide to sell up the house and move on, you will struggle. Having a clean and well-maintained pool not only adds value to your home, but it will make it even more likely to sell (nobody wants to move into a new house with a swimming pool that is in a state).
Conclusion
Please remember that these figures are mere estimations and do not represent the current market cost of a swimming pool replastering job. It should still give you a rough idea as to what you will be looking at should you decide to proceed with the restoration.
