The Real Cost (and Value) of Resurfacing Your Concrete Pool in Myrtle Beach

Why Now Is the Smart Time to Replaster — by Coastal Pool Restoration

Here in Myrtle Beach, your backyard pool isn’t just a luxury — it’s a regular part of summer life. With our long summers your pool sees more use and exposure than almost anywhere else in the country. But all that enjoyment comes with a cost: over time, even the best-built concrete (or gunite) pools begin to show signs of wear.

When that happens, resurfacing your pool with new plaster isn’t just about looks — it’s about protecting your investment, saving money long-term, and ensuring your pool stays beautiful, safe, and watertight.

At Coastal Pool Restoration, we specialize in bringing tired pools back to life across Myrtle Beach, Conway, Surfside, North Myrtle Beach, and Murrells Inlet. Here’s what you need to know about the cost — and the true value — of pool resurfacing.

How Often Should You Resurface a Concrete Pool?

Most concrete pools need to be resurfaced every 10 to 15 years, depending on use, water chemistry, and environmental conditions.

In the coastal South Carolina climate, with high humidity, salt exposure, and long swim seasons, plaster can wear out faster — sometimes closer to 8–10 years.

If you’re seeing any of these signs, it’s time to call Coastal Pool Restoration:

• Rough or chalky texture underfoot

• Stains that don’t scrub away

• Cracks or discoloration

• Areas where concrete is visible

• Difficulty maintaining proper chemical balance

These are all warning signs that your plaster surface has worn thin and is no longer protecting your pool shell.

What Does It Cost to Resurface a Pool with New Plaster?

While prices vary based on size, finish, and condition, most homeowners in the Myrtle Beach area can expect to pay:

• Small residential pools (10,000–15,000 gallons): $8,000–$12,000

• Medium pools (15,000–25,000 gallons): $11,000–$19,000

• Large or luxury pools (25,000+ gallons): $20,000+

These figures include surface prep, crack repair, new plaster application, and cleanup.

If you’re considering upgraded finishes — such as quartz or pebble aggregate — the cost increases slightly but provides longer life and better color retention, which can be a smart investment in Myrtle Beach’s bright coastal sun.

Why Timing Matters — Aesthetic and Cost Benefits

🕒 The Longer You Wait, the More It Costs

When old plaster starts to fail, water begins seeping into the concrete shell. Over time, this can cause:

• Structural cracks and delamination

• Increased chemical use

• Higher maintenance costs

• Permanent staining

What might be a $10,000 resurfacing project today could easily become a $15,000–$20,000 restoration later if the surface damage spreads or requires major patching.

🎨 A Fresh Look for Your Backyard

A new plaster finish completely transforms the look of your pool — making it feel brand new again.

Modern plaster options allow you to choose your color tone, from crisp white for a classic coastal feel, to aqua, gray, or pebble hues that mimic the ocean itself.

If you’ve recently renovated your patio, installed new landscaping, or upgraded your outdoor furniture, a fresh pool surface ties everything together — boosting curb appeal and home value in one project.
