Fiberglass Steps for Vinyl Liner Pools Repair and Refinish

Testimonial...
Dear Bill,

I just wanted to write you this letter to thank you for all of the assistance that you and your staff gave to me. I was the one that had the vinyl-lined pool with fiberglass steps. After 28 years of sun, chlorine and northeast winters, my steps looked horrid. I had discoloration, peeling and several hair line cracks in the surface.

I also had a mysterious leak that always pointed back to the steps. I searched up and down the Internet for something to resurface them, and no one could help me. I even checked marine sites. Your product is amazing.

Since I was unable to rent a sandblaster at the local home center and a professional sandblaster was unable to do the job, I opted to sand them myself. I used a combination of a belt sander; drum sander and orbital sander to get into all of the nooks and crannies. It took a few hours but it was worth it. Since I had never used a product like this before, I only mixed a quart at a time and I also had my wife handing me whatever I needed to save time. I am glad that I did, since the steps had angles, one quart at a time was perfect.

After the first coat, my wife (the critic) was really impressed. Now that they are done, I am so very pleased at the way the steps turned out. The non-skid powder worked great. I even had some left, so I added it to the oil-based paint that I used for the coping.

I can’t thank you enough. You saved me a lot of money. If I were to remove the steps, put in a wall and use drop-ins, it would have cost me over $4,000.00. If I wanted to replace the steps with new ones, it would have cost me almost $10,000.00.

Also, there was no guarantee that the new hardware would line up with the old. For a 28-year-old pool, that is a chance that I did not want to take. I am also including some before, during and after photos. I hope that you enjoy them. I was not sure if your servers would accept E-mailed photos so I printed them. If you want them sent via E-Mail, just give me a buzz.

Respectfully, Peter Brown Nutley, NJ
