How is a skimmer replaced?
- Skimmers replacements are a very technical repair due to their location of being built into the wall of the pool, reinforced with rebar, with several pipes connected and encased in gunite. Due to their locations it’s very important that the skimmer not shift or separate from the wall of the pool.

The skimmer neck refers to the tapered or constricted part of the skimmer box where the skimmer lid or faceplate connects, allowing water to enter the skimmer. When a skimmer neck is found to be damaged it’s best to replace the neck with a new one. Some companies use Polyurethane Grout Injection however we’ve found this can damage the skimmer neck and it’s best to replace the whole section.
