We have a Foxx pool, 32 YO, replacing liner, and top step is cracked. We've repaired it with a fiberglass guy, that held for 2 seasons, then I patched the patch with some PC-11 (I think). We've decided to replace the steps (and concrete, over $8300, oh my) because we've gotten 3 different and conflicting people/methods of repairing the step crack, and because the steps are old. The pool store guy says new steps will be plastic steps ... says that's what Foxx has always used, although Foxx doesn't make the steps anymore. Just asking .... have you heard of plastic steps? I assumed the original steps were fiberglass. Thanks for any input.
