    Replastering? How much money are we talking here?

    It cost me $6,300.00 for a re-plaster w/Florida Gem. So far it has only been a week since the pool has been filled but things are starting to look good. The also replaced a bunch of cracked tile and repaired the leaks. My pool was about 25 years old and was leaking like a sieve.
