I need help deciding whether or not his pool can be saved and how.
This house and pool was purchased as a foreclosure and am not sure how to proceed. The pool has a 5 foot long crack from the top to the bottom in the shallow end.
I have had several contractors out to look and most do not return an estimate. One estimate was $5900 to repair the crack, replaster, reset coping and retile. No guarantee that the crack won't return. The equipment (pump filter etc) are newer and in good shape.
The contractor was going to use rebar or torque lock staples on the crack and seal with hydraulic cement. I have heard others use epoxy. What is the best way to go, or is this hopeless and should I have the pool removed? The expense is about the same.
If you know of a good pool contractor near Oceanside California, let me know!
Also has anyone tried fiberglass resurfacing?
Please HELP!
