Hi all! Just has pool replastered 48 hours ago by a very reputable PB and we are really happy. We know that plaster has some natural issues but we have some that are bizzare. I have Googled for photos and cannot find any that clearly show a newly replastered pool with colored plaster where you can really see the plaster job. There are a lot of pics but have so much water movement you cannot see the bottom.
I have found photos of extreme cases of bad plastering, but not what a normal job should look like. Our PB's crews did an amazing prep job including FULL chipping- not spot, did washing, etching, primer coats, masking- I mean they did everything this forum said to do. However, just seems like the plaster isn't right, especially in the shallow-end. It's a light blue plaster and I know it was never to be a perfect, uniform color like house or car paint, but just seems odd.
PB is VERY responsive, readily emails, owning the job and have someone coming tomorrow despite the holiday to look at it. They aren't dodging me at all. I think I just want some basis to speak intelligently about this situation and maybe it will just fade with our continued 2-3x a day brushing and the PB's chemical management for the next 30 days.
Note I'm not one of those self-aggrandized types who seek unrealistic and impossible perfection- I'm not an engineer or chemist, but have worked in manufacturing and also with materials before retiring so I know what comes with weather, environment and so forth. Posting some photos. Thank you all for anything you can share.
