I've heard that it's not a good Idea. If the ground water level is high it forces the pool to rise out of the ground like a boat on top of water. Unlike concrete that is heavy. Fiberglass can float. It may not come out of the ground all the way. I suggest that you speak with a pool company and ask their advise.

Is there a video on how to replaster a fiber glass pool?

Hum, not sure if you can actually plaster a fiberglass pool. The glass would have to be removed first. You will have to consult a pool builder, a company that installs fiberglass shells or a company that installs fiberglass in plastered pools - thus converting a gunite/plaster pool into a gunite/fiberglass pool. The later uses the old pool shell as the sub-grade or foundation so to speak. k
