Hi folks,...It's getting very rusty around my skimmer. Can that area be cut out and replaced?? Has anyone ever done that? Thanks

No it cannot be cut out and replaced, what you can do is replace the skimmer and try and clean the rust as good as you can, then I would get a rustoleum paint and repaint the area.

I cut away the rust and bolted in a pre-cut stainless rust repair kit 4 yrs ago. Had this problem and both the skimmer and water return. My pool is over 18 yrs old.
