The problem is the quotes can vary by $3,000–$6,000 for what sounds like the same job. And without knowing what drives that variance, it's impossible to tell if the low bid is a deal or a disaster waiting to happen.
Pool resurfacing pricing is legitimately local. Material costs, labor rates, state licensing requirements, and local pool chemistry all vary by market — sometimes dramatically. A contractor quoting $4,500 in Phoenix might be pricing the same work a Phoenix competitor quotes at $7,000, and both numbers could be reasonable depending on what's included.
This directory exists to give you the context to compare honestly — real cost ranges by city, what drives the variance, and licensed contractors in your market.
Pool resurfacing is not a small job. Average residential jobs run $4,000–$10,000+. The stakes of a bad hire are high:

Look for rough or sharp surfaces that scratch swimmers, visible cracks, peeling plaster, persistent staining that won't brush off, or water loss beyond normal evaporation. Most pools need resurfacing every 7–15 years depending on the surface type and local water chemistry.
The process typically takes 5–10 days: 1–2 days to drain and prep, 1–2 days for the new surface application, and 3–7 days for curing before you can swim. Weather, surface type, and pool size affect the timeline.
Pool resurfacing is not a DIY-friendly project. It requires specialized equipment, professional-grade materials, and in most states (TX, AZ, FL, NV) a contractor's license. Improper installation voids material warranties and can lead to premature failure.
"Replastering" specifically refers to applying new white plaster. "Resurfacing" is the broader term covering all surface types — plaster, pebble, quartz, fiberglass. All involve draining the pool, removing the old surface, and applying a new one.
