Can you convert vinyl liner pool to gunite.
It is not uncommon to speak with customers who are looking to convert an old vinyl liner pool into a concrete swimming pool.

I think that a most cost effective method would be a new liner that s more appealing to you new coping and perhaps jets and skimmer fittings that blend in a little better.
It is very easy to change your existing pool into a concrete gunite pool.
Last but not least you can just change out the liner to give you another 10 to 15 years.
Rolled wall foam is cut in strips and attached to the walls.
The above commenters are correct it will cost you at least the same amount as building a new pool.
