BenStark Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Around my swimming pool I have sand wash, and after 12 years it starts ageing. It has a few cracks and also some small holes where the gravel in the sand wash has come off. I know sand wash can not be repaired, and I would also never again want sand wash, as it comes in the filter and blocks the valve from turning. So I was thinking about maybe sealing it with clear fibreglass resin (not sure if that is the correct description) to prevent the gravel from further loosening, and still keep the looks of sand wash. Any ideas on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipButty Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I've done this loads of times and the results are good people always ask what did I do, Paint it, yours sounds pretty bad I think first you would have to get some cement and fill all the cracks and holes, Here's what do, clean it first get rid of the black algae then get some primer don't forget the primer maybe give it a couple of coats, then paint it with any colour you want make sure you buy something like Dulux weather shield it has a fungicide in it so that will stop any mold forming, The last one I did was around a pool the colour I used was Brilliant White also painting last longer than cleaning the sandwash.

brianthainess Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Photo would help, concrete sealer could work, clear or white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
