Hello everyone...
So I am need of a re plaster job on my pool. I found Aquabright and it sounded like a good option at first. However I have received a quote for $5500.00 for a Quartz re plaster of the pool. Compare that to an aqua bright quote of $8500.00. I know I am one cheap dude ( but I feel like that is outrageous. They are basically using a sandblaster blowing propane to spray melted plastic onto the pool. I dont see how this process can even come close to being as labor intensive or costing more in raw materials than thousands of lbs of quartz plaster that necessitates chipping out around all the penetrations (and actually replacing them in the 5500.00 quote I mentioned) and still applying an adhesion layer before hand troweling it on.
Is a 50% increased cost over quartz reasonable? My pool is around 25k gallons, 105 linear feet.
So that has me urked... also, I had a quote in hand pretty quick from a local long time pool store for the plaster. It took a bit of begging to get the aqua bright quote and it came from an installer 30 miles from me. The one 7 miles away has not returned any of my calls. I have also called the corporate office 3 times now with no return call.
On its face it seems like a good option, but I cant believe more than 50% more cost is justified, especially since I cant get a hold of anyone!
I am in the DFW area.... is there anyone in the area that can tell me if this price is typical for Aquabright?
