I currently have a concrete pool with a fiberglass finish. It was like that when I bought the house. I'm considering redoing my pool with a color finish along with tile and coping. I'm trying to decide whether I want to refinish with fiberglass again or if I should do plaster. From everything I've read, fiberglass seems to be easier to maintain and will likely last longer. Any thoughts on this?
Fiberglass vs Plaster finish

Hello Razzle, welcome to TFP 
Can you share a picture of this hybrid pool? I imagine to do a plaster finish that fiberglass will have to come off.
As to plaster versus fiberglass, if the pool were all one or the other it would be easier to compare. I like my fiberglass pool as you say,its easy to care for. The obvious limitations are mostly during the build when it comes to different depths and shapes that a plaster pool can accomplish that a fiberglass pool leaves you at the mercy of the company's shapes. That really isn't a matter for you as your pool is already built.
I'd compare prices, warranty and how hard/easy it is to get the work done? How many fiberglass re-modelers are there compared to plaster installer companies?
