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.
