Hi all
Long story short I am not happy with the quality of the finish of my pebble sheen here in Aus; wonky lines, uneven radius on corners (not used a corner trowel, just eyeballed it) steps finished poorly, undulating sun / cocktail step. The pool builder has said he will chip out the worst affected areas (steps and vertical inward facing corner) at his cost. Otherwise a full chip out will cost $8700 cost price and he will contribute something like $3700 maximum to that.
While I decide what to do I am concerned a partial chip out will leave a very visible join (and possible point of failure) - It's arctic white Sky Sheen / Pebble sheen. My options seem to be:
1) ignore issues, retain final $2k payment and live with it
2) partial chip out and repair of steps, cocktail/sun step and wall line in one corner at $0 cost
3) full chip out at approx. $5k cost to me
4) possible to grind areas of inconsistency to a better/straighter lines etc???
I am seeking people's pictures of joins / repairs in a white pebble sheen, so pleae share them if you have had a repair? How visible is it and will the fix be as bad if not more noticeable than the problem?
Thanks
Tom
