Your pool renovation details
Your estimate sits within the typical range.
Interior surfaces last roughly 10 to 15 years. If yours is rough, stained or leaking, resurfacing is usually the first job worth doing.
Draining and refilling a pool for renovation is itself a cost, and an empty concrete pool can lift or crack in wet ground, so timing and ground water matter.

- Resurfacing alone transforms a tired pool for far less than a full retile.

What a pool renovation costs in Perth
Perth's sandy, free-draining soils are kind to pool shells, so there is less of the clay-driven cracking that forces structural repairs in the eastern capitals, and many renovations here are genuinely cosmetic, a resurface and a waterline retile rather than an engineering job. The very long, hot Mediterranean summer means pools are central to the backyard and get renovated to keep them looking new, with fierce UV the main thing ageing an old interior, coping and exposed equipment.
Isolation is the cost that bites: imported tiles, pebble and render finishes, and specialist pool equipment carry freight and lead time from the eastern states, and a less-common interior colour or tile can take weeks to arrive. Perth labour sits a touch below the national average, so the crews are competitive and a straightforward resurface is among the cheaper capitals. The split is wide between a quick re-render and a full retile-and-equipment job waiting on shipped-in materials.
