All,
We just had a re-plaster and have been extremely pleased with the pool company and their work...EXCEPT I noticed these depressions/bowls around the bubblers and umbrella in the sun deck during my 2-3 hours a day of brushing. The foreman returned and essentially said they put too much material in that area, even though they chipped out around every eyeball, bubbler, etc. during the prep process to accommodate for the re-plaster.
Regardless, he wasn't happy with the result either and suggested they try to remedy the issue by polishing/sanding the entire sun deck with a diamond blade. I'm concerned about the sun deck appearing different after the repair since we are one week in to the curing process. He said they would treat with Muriatic Acid and that would restore to the same color as the adjacent areas. If we're not 100% satisfied, they will chip and re-plaster the entire pool no questions asked. We haven't paid anything to date and know this company to be trustworthy and reliable.
My question is...have you heard of, experienced or have an opinion about this method of repair? I can't find anything online that speaks to this specific process. My fear is an inconsistent color or additional damage triggering a re-plaster, which I would like to avoid if possible given the quality of the overall job and lack of other issues during prep, Bond Kote and plaster. We had ideal weather during the process. What would you do? Deal with it? Any negative structural issues with the bowls/depressions?
Thanks in advance for your time, I appreciate it.
