Would you accept this step???

[KatalinaAnn]

Pool is pretty much complete. This is what the liner covered steps look like in the corner at the top step? Is this acceptable? We thought it would smooth out with the warmer weather and water weight. It is definitely better than day of install but this is the final result as of today. Company knows we’re not super pleased and said they can fight liner company but not sure if it’s worth it. Is there anything else that can be done besides complete new liner? Thoughts??

@jimmythegreek what would your OCD do?

Try pouring hot water on the area?

Looks like the pool could use more water. I agree that the liner looks bad in that area though.

Maybe ask them to bring in some portable propane pool heaters and heat the pool up to whatever it takes?

Yes for sure can use more water. Not as much as it may look like though. We added a little more but it still doesn’t look great.

Nope

Looks like the cut isnt deep enough. What does the other side look like? If they drained it they may be able to stretch the bead over and at least get the wrinkle out. Then try stretching the step better. Me personally I wouldn't leave a pool like this long term. Liner over can be a real pain sometimes. The manufacturer goofs up too at times

The bottom line is if they have a contractors license, they can be compelled to perform.
You paid for a reasonably perfect job and what I’m seeing isn’t cutting it.

The other side is better but still not perfect. I’ll snap some pictures now that we’ve added more water. We liked the look of liner over steps not realizing they could be such a pain
