Pool Resurfacing Guide is an independent editorial site about pool resurfacing:
    what plaster, pebble and fibreglass finishes cost, what surface preparation
    actually involves, how water chemistry decides whether a finish lasts, and how
    to read a pool quote. We are not a pool builder, a plasterer or a water-chemistry
    lab — we do not resurface pools or sell finishes.

## What we publish

- Cost guides with surface prep, finish, tile and coping, and startup separated.

- Method guides on plaster, exposed aggregate, glass bead and fibreglass, and the pools each suits.

- Problem guides that start with the symptom — chalk, stains, delamination, water loss — rather than a product.

- Comparisons decided on cost per square foot, expected life and the water chemistry each finish needs.

- Contractor guides: licence, insurance, prep scope, startup and warranty terms.

## How we work

- Finish manufacturer application guides and technical bulletins before sales pages.

- Surface preparation treated as the variable that decides the result.

- Ranges, not fake precision; an estimate is labelled and its inputs are shown.

- Affiliate links disclosed; placement never follows commission.

## Who writes it

    The byline is **Pool Resurfacing Guide Editorial Team**, edited by
    [Marisol Vega](/authors/). Every article lists its sources, and
    every cost figure names the document or price guide it came from. When a reader
    sends a quote that contradicts a band, the band and the quote both go on the page.

## What we do not do

    We do not resurface pools, sell finishes or test pool water, and nothing here
    is a substitute for an on-site assessment of the shell and plumbing. If a pool
    is losing water or the shell is cracked, the response is a leak detection and a
    structural repair before any finish is chosen — our role is to explain the
    options and what they cost.
