Morning folks. We have maybe 6 or so pieces of pre cast then have some grey showing thru on the edges and not too sure if I should have them replaced or not.

What I've learned over the years is sometimes the fix is worse than the original issue so to speak.

Looking for advice if it was your pool what would you do. It seems to really show when wet, when dry not so much.

I am also attaching a photo of one of the pieces when not installed, has black on the sides so maybe has to due with manufacturing?

Thanks!

Our pavers will have a little grey in them here and there...maybe it will be kind of cool matching. 🤔🤔

Assuming I was happy with the install, I would leave well enough alone. The precast will be dry most of the time.

But you are the one that will live with it for many years.

Perfect is an illusion, or a matter of perspective.

Personally, I like when it has some character.

Thanks guys. I am heavily leaning on leaving well enough alone as someone mentioned above.

I am happy with the install and the waterline tile below it...don't want to mess up a good thing. 😀😎
