AnswerYou would have to be really good with a cement trowel in order for it to be smooth and dont forget that the prep work is key to it sticking and staying on for years. Make sure you acid wash the old surface and then use a bonding agent like bondkote. I am a pool guy for twenty five years and still arent as good with a trowel as my plaster guy cause he does it all day every day. Some jobs are for professionals.The cost to resurface a gunite pool depends on your location, the size of your pool, and exactly what you want done. On average, as of 2014 it cost between $8,000 and $15,000 to resurface a pool.
Pebble sheen is the finish on the surface of a pool gunite is the cement that a pool is constructed from in other words you can finish a gunite pool with pebble sheen.
Gunite
building pool myself just want to contract out the gunite job are you interested
The average cost of a gunite pool is $75,000. The price for the installation of this type of pool can range from $50,000 to $100,000.
Gunite is a trowled-on cement coating similar to stucco.
NO
No. An older (possibly better) type of Fiberglass pool was constructed in this manner, with a concrete/Gunnite/Marcite trowled bottom and Fiberglass panels at the side of the pool. Panels are caulked together along vertical joints. Actually not a bad deal, but caulked joints must be maintained. Once the concrete starts showing through at the bottom of the pool, its time to drain and resurface. Bottom of pool should be acid washed every 3-5 years to keep it sparkling and remove mold, mildew, stains. If bottom surface is chipping off, its getting close to time to resurface bottom of pool. Bottom is treated just like any concrete/gunite/Marcite pool surface. Sides are simply brushed, caulked in timely manner.
Our pool installer told us to wet down our gunite once in the morning and once in the evening for seven full days after the gunite is installed.
No, because gunite will not dry if it is constantly being mixed with water. Drain your pool first.
absolutely. consult ur pool professional
