Cracks can appear invariably. These cracks could be caused by chemical imbalances, UV rays, soil shifts, or other factors. Sometimes, the veneer can begin to peel. As the cracks become more porous, dirt and algae build up, creating what appears to be a gigantic birdbath. Perhaps it is time to drain the pool and resurface.
The cost of replacing the vinyl liner can range from $1,000 to $3500, including labor and material. The only way to resurface vinyl pools that have become dry and fragile is by replacing the entire liner. It could cost you up to $4,500 to replace a pool that has become dry and brittle.
Odds are that your pool is covered with debris, leaves and dirt. You might also notice some rust stains that need to be cleaned before continuing. Even the most minor residue left behind can ruin your resurfacing project. Once you remove most of the debris, it’s a good idea to pressure wash the pool to remove any stains and algae left behind.
