So I have a family member who I am helping rehab a large inground pool. I don't think this has been open for 10 years. The fiberglass is shot and has delaminated from the concrete. The sidewalls are blistering. Given the scenario I think it could be a lot worse. The plumbing all seems to be in order. The pump works well and I installed a new filter.

Does anybody recommend a company that will work on this pool?

EVERY SINGLE local pool company has said they are not interested in working on this pool.

There is one option for sure and that is tear everything out and lay new fiberglass and finish the fiberglass with epoxy or another coating.

Are there other options? Skim the concrete and paint with epoxy or another coating?

Any help is much appreciated.

Hey Ones and Welcome !!!

It's called a hybrid pool and we've seen a bunch over the years. Use the search icon in the upper right corner of the page and scroll until you find enough examples.

The easiest and cheapest way to swim is to drop a liner in the pool and call it a day.
 
Is it possible to fill all the cracks and seams(which don't leak right now) and remove the fiberglass from the bottom and skim the bottom concrete. Then remove the smooth finish from the acrylic panels and epoxy the whole pool and retile it?
