Is it acceptable to have hairline cracks in the plaster finish Diamond Bright of a new gunite pool or will it leak?
The hairline cracks in the Diamond Bright will not cause the pool to leak. You must have got plastered in hot weather and the plaster cured quickly. It is just cosmetic on the surface and not through the entire layer of plaster.

When installing a new gunite pool how long do you have to wait until you can swim?
FOLLOW THE BUILDERS RECOMMENDATIONS!!! The pool plaster has to cure with the least amount of variations of the water. Heating the pool prematurely can cause the plaster to delaminate. Swimming too soon can lead to dimples and foot prints in the plaster that will always collect sand and dust and will always look dirty. Not a good idea. k
Where can you buy coping and plaster for a new inground pool in Maryland?
Any pool supply store should be able to help you find coping and plaster. While they may not carry it in the store, they will most likely be able to direct you to a distributor, or set up a delivery for you.
Do you have to replaster the entire pool to fix a crack in the plaster on one area?
No, the plaster can be patched. But how good the patch looks depends on several things like the color of the plaster, its age, and the person doing the patching. New, white plaster would be the easiest to patch while old, colored plaster would be more difficult to do satisfactorily.
What is the average cost of a pool re plaster?
I live in Southern California and my pool cost around $7,000.00 to re-plaster and re-tile. I have a large pool with attached spa. I also had some plumbimg repairs (new Jandy valves, new return lines) which were included in this price. They also replaced the side steps (in the deep end), as these don't survive the demolition. This was in summer, 2003.
If a plaster pool needs to be resurfaced and painted is that something a home owner can do?
You don't replaster a pool then paint it. For Pete's sake why do you want to paint a pool. Replastering is something left to the pros. Any one mistake could mean delamination of the new plaster. Painting a pool is a last ditch effort to fix or cover up a pool that is in bad shape before you put your house on the market to sell it. k
