Plastic / Vinyl Step Repair
Plastic / Vinyl Step Repair
Cracked, leaking, or spongy pool steps aren't just an eyesore — they're a structural problem that gets worse every season. We specialize in restoring thermoplastic and vinyl-over inground pool steps with long-term solutions that save you from the high cost of a full staircase replacement.
Structural Reinforcement
Steps that flex or sink underfoot have voids beneath them. We inject high-density foam to fill those voids and restore a rock-solid foundation.
Crack & Leak Repair
Advanced polymer bonding agents and structural resins seal cracks in plastic steps — stopping water loss and preventing the crack from spreading further.
Gasket & Faceplate Refresh
For vinyl-over steps, brittle gaskets and worn faceplates are replaced during your liner install to ensure a 100% watertight seal around every step edge.
Surface Restoration
Stubborn yellowing and waterline stains cleaned and treated to restore your steps to a bright, factory-fresh appearance without full replacement.
Water Level Drawdown
We pump the pool water down below the repair site. Resins and adhesives must cure in a completely dry environment — this step is non-negotiable for a permanent fix.
Surface Preparation
The damaged area is cleaned and sanded to remove oxidation and debris, giving the bonding agents a clean, solid surface to grip.
The Repair
Depending on the damage — structural epoxy injected to eliminate the spongy flex, or high-strength mesh and polymer resins applied to seal cracks completely.
Curing & Refill
Materials fully harden within approximately 24 hours. Once cured, the pool is refilled and your steps are ready for use — no waiting out the season.
Flawless Finish
Completely covers stains, scratches, and discoloration — restoring a clean, modern look to fiberglass or plastic steps.
Slip-Resistant & Comfortable
Safer for kids and seniors than bare plastic, with a texture that's soft and comfortable underfoot.
Built for NEPA Winters
Unlike standard pool paints that peel after one freeze, Rebound expands and contracts with temperature — bonding through our harshest winters.
Fraction of Replacement Cost
New-step appearance without the new-step price tag — one of the best value upgrades available during a liner replacement.
