If you're searching for the cost to resurface a 15x30 pool in Broward County, you're probably staring at a surface that's chalky, stained, or rough underfoot and trying to figure out what a fair number actually looks like. Pool age, finish type, and where you live in the county all move that number, sometimes by thousands of dollars. Here's how the math actually breaks down for a pool this size.

What Does a 15x30 Pool Actually Cost to Resurface?

A 15x30 rectangular pool has approximately 900 square feet of combined wall and floor surface area, and that number is the starting point for every quote you'll get. Standard plaster resurfacing for a pool this size typically runs $6,000 to $9,000 total. Step up to Diamond Brite or quartz aggregate and you're looking at $9,000 to $13,000. PebbleTec or a premium pebble finish sits at $13,000 to $18,000.

These ranges assume a standard rectangular shape without deep steps, benches, tanning ledges, or unusual geometry, all of which add labor and material. Homeowners in Davie, Weston, and Fort Lauderdale tend to land in the middle of these ranges, while pools with extensive tile work or structural repairs push toward the top. For a full breakdown of how finish type, pool age, and add-ons affect your final number, the complete pool resurfacing cost guide for Broward County homeowners walks through every variable in detail.

What Additional Costs Should You Budget For?

Beyond the resurfacing itself, most 15x30 pool projects carry a handful of add-on costs that catch homeowners off guard. Permit fees run $200 to $600 depending on your municipality, since Davie, Fort Lauderdale, and Weston each handle pool permitting a little differently. Startup chemicals for the 28-day curing process add another $300 to $600.



Waterline tile replacement is the wildcard. If your existing tile is cracked, faded, or simply outdated, expect $500 to $2,000 or more depending on the tile you choose and how much linear footage needs replacing. Equipment servicing during the drain period, like inspecting pumps and filters while the pool sits empty, is worth asking about too. A contractor who walks you through these costs upfront, rather than adding them after the job starts, is one worth trusting with a 900 square foot pool.

How Do You Get an Accurate Quote for Your Specific Pool?

An accurate quote for your specific pool requires an in-person inspection, not a phone estimate or a number pulled from a general price list. The contractor needs to see the current surface condition, confirm your exact pool dimensions, check for structural issues like cracks or delamination, and verify what your municipality requires for permitting.



A quote given without ever seeing the pool isn't something you can reliably compare against another bid, because it's built on assumptions rather than the actual condition of your surface. This is where working with an in-house team matters. When the same company handles the inspection, the resurfacing, and the tile work, the number you're quoted is the number you pay, without subcontractor markups added along the way.

Quick Questions

How much does it cost to resurface a 15x30 pool in Broward County?
A 15x30 pool, at roughly 900 square feet of surface area, typically costs $6,000 to $9,000 for standard plaster, $9,000 to $13,000 for Diamond Brite or quartz aggregate, and $13,000 to $18,000 for PebbleTec or premium pebble aggregate, depending on surface condition and finish choice.



What is included in a pool resurfacing quote for a 15x30 pool?
A complete quote should cover draining, surface preparation, new finish material and application, startup chemicals, and labor. Permits, tile replacement, and equipment servicing are often billed separately, so always ask what's included before comparing two bids side by side.

As Matt Patella of The Time Is Now Design & Build puts it, a 15x30 pool is one of the most common sizes his team resurfaces in Broward County, and the range he gives on the phone stays a range until he's seen the current surface and knows the municipality involved.
