Leak from crack in fiberglass steps- repaired with J-B Weld Marine Weld

[Crominator]

I have a crack in my fiberglass pool steps. the crack first appeared last August. I repaired it with J-B Weld Marine Weld, and it held all winter. a couple of days ago, a crack opened adjacent to the original repaired area, and I've repaired with more J-B Weld. Hopefully this holds as well as the first application did. My pool guy estimates that the drop-in steps are approximately 30 years old, so not surprising that I'm running into this issue.

Anyone have advice for a newbie?

It sounds as though the next time your liner is due for a replacement, it may be a good time to also replace those 30 year old stairs.

Unfortunately, that won't be for quite some time... we replaced the liner only 5 years ago!
