Resurfacing a typical backyard pool in Coral Springs costs about $9,000–$15,000 in white plaster, $11,000–$19,000 in quartz and $15,000–$28,000 in pebble, before any tile, coping or deck work. Those ranges are for a concrete pool of around 15 by 30 feet, or 1,000–1,200 square feet of interior surface. A small pool sits at the bottom of each range; a large freeform pool with a spa can go past the top.
Every figure on this page is an estimate drawn from published South Florida contractor prices and national cost guides, reviewed October 8, 2026. Your price is set in writing after we measure the pool and check the shell.

Interior finishes
The finish is the biggest line on the quote. Plaster is the base price; quartz adds color and stain resistance for roughly 20 percent more; pebble and glass bead change the application method and cost the most.
| Job | Estimated price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| White marble plaster | $9,000–$15,000 | Chip-out or bond coat, new plaster, fill and start-up |
| Quartz (Diamond Brite and similar) | $11,000–$19,000 | Same prep, quartz aggregate finish in your color |
| Pebble (PebbleTec, Pebble Sheen) | $15,000–$28,000 | Exposed pebble finish, the most common upgrade |
| Glass bead | $17,000–$30,000 | Pebble-style application with polished glass in the mix |
Tile and coping
Waterline tile and coping are priced by the linear foot of pool edge. On a typical pool that edge is about 90 feet, which is where the whole-pool figures come from.
| Job | Estimated price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Waterline tile, typical pool | $1,800–$4,500 | About 90 linear feet of 6-inch tile, removed and replaced |
| Waterline tile, by length | $20–$50 per linear ft | Glass and hand-set mosaics sit at the top |
| Coping, typical pool | $2,500–$6,000 | Pavers, travertine or cast stone around the pool edge |
| Coping, by length | $25–$60 per linear ft | Natural stone costs more than concrete pavers |
Deck resurfacing
Decks are priced per square foot. The deck page explains when a coating is enough and when pavers make more sense.
| Job | Estimated price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Deck coating (acrylic, cool deck) | $3–$7 per sq ft | Cleaned, cracks filled, textured coating and sealer |
| Pavers or travertine over the old deck | $15–$27 per sq ft | Set over the existing slab where it is sound |
Repairs found while the pool is empty
Some work cannot be priced exactly until the water is out. Our quote lists the rate for each of these so that nothing appears as a surprise at the end.
| Job | Estimated price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Minor crack or patch repair | $200–$1,200 | Surface cracks and small chipped areas |
| Structural crack repair | $1,000–$5,000 | Routed, stapled or injected; often about $75 per linear ft |
| Hollow (delaminated) plaster | Priced per area after draining | Cannot be measured until the pool is empty |
| Pool light or niche replacement | $500–$1,700 per light | New fixture or niche while the pool is empty |
| Main drain cover or anti-entrapment upgrade | $500–$1,500 | Brings older drains up to current covers |
Add-ons, shown so nothing is hidden
| Job | Estimated price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Drain and clean | $400–$650 | Usually inside the resurfacing price; shown so it is not hidden |
| Full chip-out instead of a bond coat | $3,000–$7,000 | When old layers are stacked or hollow |
| Start-up chemicals | $150–$400 | First-month balancing for a new finish |
| Water to refill | $220–$300 | 15,000–20,000 gallons at City of Coral Springs water and sewer rates |
| City of Coral Springs permit | $225–$600 | Required for alterations over $1,500, which every resurface is |
What moves the price on a Coral Springs pool
- Stacked old coats. Many pools here from the 1970s to the 1990s have been replastered over the original surface. Stacked layers trap hollow spots and usually mean a full chip-out, which adds roughly $3,000–$7,000.
- The water table. Draining safely means checking and sometimes servicing the hydrostatic relief valve, and keeping the empty days short.
- Screen enclosures. Working inside a cage slows material handling and protects the screen, a small but real labor cost.
- Calcium at the tile line. Heavy scale on old tile is often cheaper to replace than to bead-blast clean.
- Spas and benches. An attached spa adds surface area and edge detail, often 15 to 25 percent.
- Rainy season. June to October scheduling builds in weather days; it does not change our price, but it can stretch the calendar.
Price per square foot, for comparing quotes
We quote whole jobs, but square-foot figures help compare offers. Spread across 1,000–1,200 square feet, plaster works out near $8–$15 per square foot, quartz near $9–$19 and pebble near $13–$28, all-in. If a quote lands well below these, ask what prep it includes.
Why Coral Springs quotes disagree
Two honest contractors can be $5,000 apart on the same pool. The usual reasons are prep, not profit. One price assumes a bond coat over the old surface; the other includes a full chip-out. One includes the permit, the refill water and the first month of start-up chemicals; the other lists them later. One keeps the original tile; the other replaces it because new finish against old, scaled tile rarely looks right.
When you compare, put the quotes side by side and check five things: chip-out or bond coat, permit included, tile kept or replaced, how hollow spots are priced, and who handles start-up. That is also how our quotes are laid out.

The same ranges apply in Parkland, where larger pools often push jobs toward the top, and in Coconut Creek. For the finishes themselves, compare the samples, or read how a Coral Springs resurface runs.
Cost questions
What is the cheapest way to resurface a pool in Coral Springs?
White marble plaster over a bond coat, with the existing tile kept. On a typical pool that is near the bottom of the $9,000–$15,000 range. It also has the shortest life, so the cost per year is often higher than quartz.
Is pebble worth the extra money?
If you plan to keep the house for more than ten years, usually yes. Pebble costs roughly half again as much as quartz but commonly lasts 15 to 20 years against quartz's 10 to 15, and it hides stains and everyday wear better than smoother finishes.
Why do online cost guides show lower prices than local quotes?
National guides average every state. South Florida labor, the permit, the water to refill and the chip-out that older Broward pools often need all push local prices above those averages.
Is the permit included in the price?
It should be, and on our quotes it is. The City of Coral Springs requires a permit for any repair or alteration over $1,500, so every resurface needs one. Ask any contractor you compare whether theirs is included.
Do you charge for the estimate?
No. The on-site measure, the hollow-spot check and the written price are free, with no obligation.
