Fiberglass Pool Step Repair in Hickory

Cracked, soft, flexing, or damaged fiberglass pool steps do not always require replacement.

We repair:

Cracked fiberglass pool steps
Soft and flexing steps
Structural step damage
Blisters and surface deterioration
Broken step edges
Separation and delamination
Damage caused by settling
Failed previous repairs
Worn and damaged gelcoat

Our repair process focuses on restoring the damaged fiberglass structure instead of covering the problem with a temporary surface patch.

When structural reinforcement is needed, we prepare the damaged area, remove weakened material, rebuild the fiberglass, reinforce the structure, shape the repair, and finish the surface with premium gelcoat.

Swimming Pool Skimmer and Scupper Repair

A cracked or busted pool skimmer often leads to water loss and continued damage.

Skimmers sometimes crack because of ground movement, settling, age, freezing, structural stress, or previous repairs.

Step Doctors repairs:

Cracked swimming pool skimmers
Busted skimmer bodies
Cracks around skimmer throats
Leaking skimmers
Fiberglass skimmer damage
Scupper damage
Freeze-damaged skimmers
Settling damage
Separation around the skimmer opening

Many damaged fiberglass skimmers are repairable without digging up large sections of concrete or replacing the entire skimmer.

Swimming Pool Light Niche Repair

Cracks around a swimming pool light niche sometimes become a source of significant water loss.

We repair fiberglass damage around swimming pool light niches, including:

Cracks around the light opening
Damaged fiberglass surrounding the niche
Structural separation
Freeze damage
Settling damage
Busted or cracked niche areas
Failed previous repairs
Leaks associated with damaged fiberglass around the niche

Our goal is to repair and reinforce the damaged fiberglass while avoiding unnecessary demolition whenever the existing structure is suitable for repair.

Fiberglass Pool Crack Repair

A crack in a fiberglass swimming pool should be evaluated before the damaged area becomes larger.

Some cracks affect only the surface. Others extend into the fiberglass structure.

We repair cracks in:

Fiberglass pool walls
Pool floors
Steps
Skimmers
Light niches
Areas around fittings
Other fiberglass pool components

Structural cracks require more than covering the surface.

We prepare the damaged fiberglass, remove weak material, reinforce the affected area when needed, rebuild the structure, and restore the finished surface.

Structural Fiberglass Pool Repair

Soft spots, flexing areas, deep cracks, separation, or recurring damage often indicate a structural problem underneath the finished surface.

Step Doctors specializes in structural fiberglass repair.

Depending on the condition of the pool, repairs often include:

Removing damaged material
Grinding and preparing solid fiberglass
Structural reinforcement
Rebuilding damaged fiberglass
Reshaping repaired areas
Surface preparation
Premium gelcoat finishing

A strong fiberglass repair begins underneath the finished surface.

Fiberglass Pool Blister Repair

Blisters appear as raised bubbles or swollen areas in fiberglass pool surfaces.

Proper blister repair involves addressing the damaged material underneath instead of coating over the problem.

We remove the affected material, prepare the fiberglass, rebuild the damaged section, and restore the surface.

Premium Gelcoat, Never Cheap Paint

Step Doctors of the Carolinas uses premium gelcoat for fiberglass pool restoration.

We do not rely on cheap paint to hide fiberglass damage.

Proper gelcoat restoration provides a professional finished surface following structural repairs and helps restore the appearance of damaged fiberglass pool components.

Surface preparation plays a major role in the quality of the finished repair.

Fiberglass Repair Without Major Demolition

One of the advantages of professional fiberglass repair is the ability to repair many damaged pool components without tearing apart large areas surrounding the swimming pool.

Depending on the location and extent of damage, fiberglass repairs are often completed without:

Digging around the pool
Removing large sections of concrete
Replacing the entire step unit
Replacing the entire skimmer
Major demolition

Every repair is evaluated individually to determine whether fiberglass restoration is appropriate.

Deteriorated fiberglass

Finding the damaged area and properly preparing the fiberglass is an important part of creating a lasting repair.
