Pool Service Estimate Template
Resurfacing, tile, leak detection and equipment — priced before the shell is drained. Free PDF, no sign-up.
A pool renovation is priced with the pool full. The plaster is under a metre of water, the tile line is under scale, the shell is under the plaster and the plumbing is under the deck — and the estimate has to be written anyway, because nobody drains a pool to get a bid. So the document names what it assumes about the shell, prices chip-out and bond coat by the square foot rather than as a lump, and says what a leak found in the return line does to the schedule as well as to the price.

What this estimate commits you to
- How long it stands
- Thirty days, and not across a season change — a spring renovation slot booked in autumn is re-priced, because the crews for it are committed months out.
- What it does not cover
- Deck repair and resurfacing, fencing brought up to the current barrier code, the electrical sub-panel and bonding, gas supply to a heater, and the water to refill the pool.
- What would change the price
- What is under the plaster and the tile. A shell that delaminates and needs a full chip rather than a partial, a bond beam found cracked once the tile is off, rebar showing through, and a leak that detection traces to a line under the deck rather than to a fitting.
- How the client accepts it
- Sign and pay the deposit that reserves a drain date; the pool is drained only once the finish crew is confirmed, because a shell left empty in this climate is a risk we do not take on your behalf.

What to put on a pool service estimate
- The interior finish being removed and the one going back, by product and square footage
- Chip-out priced by the square foot, with whether a full chip or a partial is assumed
- Waterline tile and coping by the linear foot, since a broken bond beam is found there first
- Leak detection as its own service with its own price, done before the repair is estimated
- Equipment by model — pump, filter, heater, automation — and whether the existing plumbing fits it
- Start-up: the brushing schedule, the chemical programme and who is responsible for the first 28 days
Questions
Can I price a resurface without draining the pool?
You can price the finish and the labour; you cannot price the shell. Write the estimate against a normal chip-out and say what a delaminated or rebar-stained shell adds per square foot, because that is exactly what turns up on a pool old enough to need replastering.
Where does the water bill sit on a pool estimate?
Wherever you say, and it is worth thousands of gallons of goodwill to say. Refilling a mid-size pool is a real cost on a metered supply, and a homeowner who assumed it was included will remember it longer than the finish.
Should leak detection be included in a repair estimate?
No — price it separately and first. A leak can be a fitting, a light niche, a skimmer throat or a line under a deck, and those four repairs are an order of magnitude apart. An estimate written before detection is a guess at which of them it is.
