I've inherited a 40 year old gunite pool with the home I purchased last Summer and this will be our first full season with it. Given the current circumstances surrounding the pandemic, I'm assuming it will get some good use this year as prior scheduled vacations are shelved. That being said, with the pool being so old the coping is in disrepair and was not maintained (barely patched) by the old owner. I have attached pictures here for reference.
I'm looking for suggestions and a few answers to those who have been down the process before.
- I'm sure this question may sound silly to some, but what would be the most cost-effective way to bring this back into acceptable condition? Are there certain materials that are cheaper than others?
-Who should be doing this work? A pool company? Mason? Someone else?
- I know it is going to be all over the place depending on region, amount of contractors, etc, but what does a typical coping repair/replacement cost on an 18x36 pool?
- Any other helpful things I should know?
Again, my chief concern is for the safety of my nieces and nephews swimming in there. Last thing I want is them to slip and fall or cut themselves on the deteriorating edges.
Thanks!
