About

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 byMarisol Vega. 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.
