How to repair a PebbleCrete pool?

[JCav]

Hi, I have a repair job for my Pebble Crete in ground concrete pool. Does Bunnings sell any Pebble Crete product for this type of job. I'm planning to cut out the Pebble Crete and concrete substrate in an area of 15cm by 9cm then reinstate the concrete to below the current surface and finish the cut out with a Pebble Crete topping. I've done this before many years ago very successfully but I cant for the life of me remember where I got the Pebble Crete finish.

It will need to be somewhat waterproof ( although I can waterproof the Pebble Crete with glue/sealer additive if needed) and it needs to fill to depth of about 2 or 3cms.

Any ideas or advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers John

Hi @JCav 

Have you thought about adding a feature tile to cover the area you'll be cutting? For example, instead of just digging away at the damage, I propose cutting the repair site to the same size as a 200x200 tile. Once the repair has been accomplished, I suggest putting in a Decor8 200 x 200mm Barcelona Sorrento Ocean Matt Floor Tile as a kind of enhancement to the pebblecrete surround. 

If you find the right tile to compliment your pebblecrete, it should look like that it belongs there and not feel out of place. It should also make a good conversation starter.

Thanks for the reply Eric.

I think a tile (no matter how well it matched) would look terribly out of place in the middle of a pool wall, But thanks anyway for the suggestion.
