Hello everyone. It's pool time! I spent last summer losing water to a crack in my top step that that had been poorly patched by previous owners. I want to start this season off right and plan on fixing it properly before I get everything up and running. The top tread needs to be resupported and the fiberglass repaired/coated. I have found two outlets online.
One is pool step specialist. They have been recommended on here. They have thus far been very short on details as far as what a repair with their kit entails, which automatically causes suspicion with me. I'd prefer they be more open about what is in their kit and how they recommend repairs. One thread I found showed large sections of the stairs being cut out and then a bunch of Bondo work. Not an idea that thrills me.
Another option I found uses expanding foam. It seems like a very simple way of doing things. They provide more detail on the process, and it only requires a few 5/16" holes that would be a lot easier to fix than large holes. But will this repair be effective long term? Has anybody repaired this way?
Would appreciate any advice you can give.
