South Florida Pool & Outdoor Living - STARTUP PHASE
All, looking for some opinions. We are marching towards replastering next week. The owner of the plaster company called and proposed an alternate solution. He is saying we could drain the pool, remove the marker tile grout, and fill the tile voids with matching plaster. This would keep the finish as is (we can probably live with it), keep an extra $600 in our pocket, and also avoid a full re-startup and 30 days of brushing and no swimming. My wife and kids would certainly appreciate the latter. Clearly it would also save the PB the cost of a full refinish. He said if we weren't happy with it when done, we could proceed with the full retile/replaster.
I have a couple of questions for the TFP family:
- is this approach acceptable?
- should I expect this approach to hold up long term?
- do you think the plaster will be noticeably different on the tile than everywhere else? Our original plaster is about 60 days old.
Lastly, we've noticed some blotchiness and white spots appearing on our finish. This is likely due to the chemistry being out of whack the last two weeks with an anticipated refinish that keeps getting pushed back. A pic is below. Is this addressable/reversible at this point or is this potentially long term damage that would suggest a refinish as the better approach? Could they potentially do an acid wash while empty to clear this up?
Any thoughts are welcomed and appreciated!
