New to TFP, and I’ve read several posts about pool finishes here so we’ve at least narrowed it down some. My quandary is picking our finish between white plaster, Pebble Fina, or Wet Edge Primera Stone. As you can tell we want a smooth pool finish. I know the other two upgraded choices will probably last longer but they cost quite a bit more if we choose them so I’m trying to understand if anyone has resurfaced their old plaster with either Pebble Fina or another aggregate finish and how easy or hard that was? Was it expensive compared to putting it in with install, how well did it adhere to the plaster? Concerns?
Background, our pool will be 40’ x 15’ with a Baja shelf, swim lane, and a bench that runs along the 40’ wall. It will be 4’ depth in the shallow end and 6’ in the deeper end. Our PB has $5,000 allocated for white plaster. If we upgrade to Pebble Fina it would be $,5000 more ($10,000) and if we upgrade to Wet Edge Primera Stone it would be $9,000 more than white plaster ($14,000 total). It would stretch out budget to upgrade but putting in a high quality finish that will last longer is very appealing as I’d rather spend money on the infrastructure up front.
Welcome any and all comments and suggestions!
