How Do You Patch A Plaster Pool
Posted : admin On 06.01.2020I am about to undertake some patching. I will post my results shortly. How big are the spots that need patching? I drained my pool as my refurb project is quite large.
You need to use a grinder and because water and electricity don't mix you may want to consider draining your pool. I think plaster damage can sometimes occur from the suns heat expanding the plaster. The plaster can lift off the base and when it shrinks back it crazy cracks. My pool is full of crazy cracking.:-D Surprisingly there seems very little druminess. I intend to refinish with paint. !/4 inch is perfect, that thickness usually gives the most economical life of the plaster before it starts to fail.
The grey areas are more than likely areas where the plaster has worn thin. If you drain the pool you can give these areas a closer inspection even if it means lifting the plaster to see whats going on. If you find the plaster very thin it's more than likely that's a good sign that the pool needs a re plaster. At 26 years I'd say the plaster is not the only thing that needs re placing. Our pool originally had a thicker than normal plaster 3/8 to 1/2 inch but it has worn very rough and has many holes and cracks to repair. It needs to be polished back to a smooth surface. I opted to repair it myself, learning and having fun along the way.
But really it was the cost that made me decide to do it myself. A quote for to do the work was $25000 and $8000-$13000 for the re plaster. If I get another 7 years out of the pool I'll be happy. I expect the cost to be less than $3000 and that includes all the fun tools I had to purchase.:-DI think I would wait for cooler weather before doing anything.cheers.
