Interior surface area: 992 sq ft
Cost per square foot: $16
Finish material and labor: $10,912

Estimates only. Local pricing, site conditions and code requirements change the real number.

The formula

Surface area = length x width + perimeter x average depth; Cost = area x finish rate + tile + prep

Standard plaster lasts 7 to 10 years; pebble and quartz finishes last 15 to 20 and cost roughly twice as much.

Worked example

Resurfacing a 16x32 pool in pebble finish runs about $9,500 to $13,500 with a new waterline tile band.
