Repairing Concrete Pool Decks
You can brighten up your pool deck and repair unsightly damage in many different ways. As long as the slab retains its structural integrity, you can easily repair the outer finish. Your options range from simply enhancing the color of the surface with a stain to applying an all-new surface with a decorative finish.
- The first step is removing damaged concrete and filling cracks. The slope of your pool deck should also be checked; the surface may need to be re-leveled to maintain proper drainage.
- Applying a new surface (also called microtopping or applying a concrete overlay) is the best way to deal with minor aesthetic issues like scaling, spalling, and cracking. Besides restoring consistency to your concrete, you can also add color, patterns, and textures. There are microtopping systems available designed expressly for the specialized requirements of pool decks. These concentrate on making the surface slip-resistant and reflecting heat.
- While most of the techniques available for coloring concrete are long-lasting, colors can fade or shift after years of hard use. Sun exposure, weather action, pool chemicals, and improper installation can all degrade the color your pool deck started with. This is an easily-fixed problem! A new coat of stain (acid or water-based) will restore consistency and appeal to your deck. A UV-resistant product, combined with an effective sealer, can safeguard the look of your pool deck for many years to come.
