My 20,500 gallon gunite pool was installed in 2003, white plaster, red bullnose coping, basic tile., brushed concrete deck. The pool is in very good condition, some staining on the white plaster by the drains, but otherwise in very good condition. I had a leak in the skimmer repaired last year, so to my knowledge, no leaks. The tiles are secure but showing calcification staining. Coping is also secure, no hollow sounds, two or three crack lines in the grout, but no cracks in the coping. I want to update the look, and replaster with a quartz aggregate finish. I am hesitant to do anything to disrupt the structural integrity of the pool, in other words, why look for trouble when there isn't any?, or, if it ain't broke, why fix it?
I've met with some contractors, none have said I NEED to do anything, so this would be a cosmetic renovation.
Can you just replaster and replace the tile but keep the existing coping, or is it better to replaster, replace tile and replace coping?
My plan for the deck is to enlarge the deck on one side, and then resurface the existing concrete deck since it is in pretty good condition.
