The Hidden Costs of Ignoring Rough Pool Plaster

Introduction

Pool plaster isn’t just cosmetic. It protects your pool shell, keeps swimmers safe, and maintains your pool’s value. When plaster gets rough or damaged, ignoring it can cost you thousands.

Why Smooth Plaster Matters

• Protects the concrete shell from water damage
• Prevents cuts and scrapes for swimmers
• Stops algae and bacteria from growing in cracks
• Keeps your pool looking clean and valuable

Real Costs of Ignoring Rough Plaster

Resurfacing Costs

• Standard plaster resurfacing: $5,500–$7,000
• Larger pools: up to $15,000+
• Average: $11,000 for a typical pool

Structural Repairs

Up to 80% of pools need crack or hollow-spot repairs before replastering, adding $5,000+ to the bill.

Extra Chemicals & Maintenance

Rough plaster traps algae and stains, forcing you to use more chemicals and clean more often.

Equipment Strain

Dirty, uneven surfaces make pumps and filters work harder, wearing them out faster and raising energy bills.

Health & Safety Risks

• Cuts and scrapes from rough edges
• Algae and bacteria growth
• Liability risk for pool owners

Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late

The longer you wait, the higher the costs. Regular inspection and polishing keep plaster smooth and safe—saving you thousands over time.
