Replaster & Tile replacement estimate question.

Postby chrims » Tue 17 Jul, 2007 20:56

Recently got an estimate for a re-plaster and the rate seems reasonable at $3100 for plaster up to $5300 for stone scapes. My concern is the proposal states in part:
-Chisel around fittings and lights so new plaster will be even at tile.
-Acid wash old plaster surface to roughen for bonding purposes.

I was under the impression that all old plaster needed to be removed to get the best results. Is this the case? Is it standard practice to ONLY chisel out plaster around fittings and tile for a re-plaster job?


Additionally, the proposal would replace 145' of water line tile for $3700 which is about $25.50 per linear foot. Is this price reasonable? It seems
odd that tile replacement is just as expensive as the re-plaster.

Thanks for your time,

chrims (Central Texas)

Definitely get a few more estimates. The plaster estimate seems a little high if they aren't going to chip out all the old plaster.

average tile replacement is $35/ft in PA. average size replaster is $4,000. i would expect TX pricing to be lower since lower cost of living

You don't chip out all the old plaster!! They apply it over the old plaster. They do a bondcoat and prep it. Removing any spots in it that could cause for pop ups.

Our basic tile is the K-Series solid tile. At $30 a foot, that must be a really high end tile. When you quote these things you can't say one price fits all.

The plaster quote seems good for my area.... but check references and if they are current with good results...go with them.

Hello,

I am also in the Los Angeles Area and an replastering my pool. I have a 35,000 gallon pool, with tile it is costing me $6,500 to replaster. Should I convert my pool to a salt water system at the same time. Is it healthier and better system to have?

Thanks

Just FYI on the salt system. I work for a pool company in Texas and we have stopped putting in salt systems as they will eat your decking and any flagstone you have around the pool. Make sure to ask lots of questions before converting

It also depends if you plan on ordering your tile online? you could call a place that sells tile or email them and ask for your proposed square footage and choose the tile look you want.
Maybe this will help you: Pool Tile Pictures

Im not sure on painting costs, its another question you will have to forward to your local paint store. Best of luck to you!!

Grab a phone book and start calling pool construction .
These people do not come here for advice. so you will wait forever.
Depending on the type of plaster, you looking at 6000 to 8000 bucks. Money is not indication how well it will the be done. You need inside help to avoid disapointment.
Also, may want go to the Noble Tile Supply by Harry Hines and ask for some business cards of replaster contractors.
Some of the procedures to watch for:
Correct preparation ("prep") which inludes chipping around inlets, pool light, wall steps and 2-3 inch margin bellow pool tile.
Correct acid wash afterwards, with plenty of water washing of the remnants of diluted acid.
Proper application of BondKote (bonding agent), which will determine how long the new plaster will adhere to the old one.
And of course you need an experienced crew and dedicated boss, that has an interest in promoting his company to supervise the whole work.
Good luck!
