First of all have you found the cause? Pebble tec cracks because either it doesn't get a good bond to the shotcrete or the shotcrete is cracking underneath the pebble. Cracks found in pebble tec must be patched with pebble patch or caulking. To perform a patch that you care about blending with the existing pebble takes a great deal of experience. Great results are possible but not likely until you have made several patches.

1. Pebble Tec Pool Patch Kits

Also one of the common issues with pebble tec cracking is not so much the material,but rather how much pebble tec is applied to a certain area of the pool/spa. For example, pool steps tend to get more material applied on the transition/curveof the step tread and having too much material can cause a delamination after time. Most rolled bond beams being exposed to the outdoor elements will experience bond failure in time. Most cracks can be repaired by the average homeowner with a little bit of handy skills and pebble patch kit.

Pebble Tec Pool Patch Kits

Most cracks can be repaired by the average homeowner with a little bit of handy skills and pebble patch kit. There are 2 part epoxies that will do the trick. The product has a clay like consistency to it and the label should tell you if it can be used underwater. Pool stores, Lowes, Home Depot all have a suitable product. Clean the crack of debris or loose plaster, mix up the epoxy and push it into the crack as deep as you can. Go back over the area with a finger to remove most of the excess and give a decent appearance to the repair.

It will last until whatever caused the crack allows it to crack again. There is always a reason a pool cracks.expansive soil, ground movement, trees (I am fixing a tree crack right now) soil compaction/liquifaction etc.
