If you want a pool, buy a house with a pool. There's not such thing as a big pool, lol, wait until you move in and you will see how many visitors you will have over. Reshaping and re plastering in CLT is expensive, around $10K.
Call pool companies in your area and they will give you a free estimate. I recommend using Angie's List, so you feel more comfortable with the companies you choose for quotes. Get at least 3 quotes.
Good luck!

When you remodel your pool, please consider the amazing options with art tile. See my Houzz.com page for lots of photo examples.

You need to call in contractors who do this type of work to give an estimate

Maybe stars26 has a better understanding of what you mean because $10k sounds like a steal to me, based on how I interpret your question. I used to work hand in hand with a pool company's remodel division, and we typically saw that to remodel an existing pool (address leaks, upgrade plumbing and electric and equipment, replaster, new tile and coping, etc) was often as much as building a new pool.

If I were buying a house and I wanted a pool, if the home had a pool less than five years old I'd consider it (and pay a pool contractor to inspect it). Any older than that, it would have to be the perfect home or a great price. If I'm shelling out $50-100k for a pool, it may as well be tailored to what *I* want.

Remodeling an existing in-ground pool will vary greatly in cost depending on the scope of the work, the dimensions, the finishes, and even the geographic area you live in.

Factors that come into play with remodeling an existing pool to a new shape:

1. plans/engineering (if needed)

2. excavation around the areas of the shell to be remodeled

3. demolition of the shotcrete/gunite shell and removal of steel/rebar

4. then you have to over-chip out the pool shell so you can lap splice your new steel to the old steel for structural and bonding purposes.

5. then you have to plumb (if any) in those areas

6. then you have to form your new steel into the shape you want

7. then you have shoot the shell with shotcrete

8. because of the demo you will have a whole section of plaster/tile/coping to re-do and with the plaster you may have to replaster the entire shell

9. backfill and pour your deck

You have to think, not only will you be building more pool onto your pool but you will be doing significant demolition and disposal of areas that have steel at 6" o.c. or 12" o.c. or other.

Obviously the costs range are wide but most would take a minimum of $5-10K if it were a smaller remodel and can quickly escalate.

Contact some builders with experience remodeling pools to get some price ranges for your specific requirements.

I will say most customers think it would cost less than it actually does.

Agreed, it was very helpful to me as I am in the process of having a pool built now and after they shot the shell today I'm thinking I made a mistake in design that I may need to correct. In my swim out area I didn't plan it to be a wide enough area for my big dogs to be able to climb out?
