Plaster pool chipping

I just wanted to post this to see if anyone knows what
might casue this. Defect in the plaster?

Obviously it is a defect, unless someone has been taking a
hammer to your pool. Many things can cause this, but most
likely it was bad application technique, like spreading
plaster that had already started to set, or spreading a
second pass of freshly mixed plaster over an already-
plastered area (because the first try didn't turn out right
and was too set up to finish properly).

About all that is certain is that it is the contractor's
defect and responsibility to cure. They are typically
experts at weaseling out of such responsibilities. Costs
of fair dealing after the job has been finished for a
while tend to make contracting less competitive, so I wish
you the best.

This has been a major debate for a few years now. Most
likely defect in application and/or material. Push to make
the contractor fix the problem. If no one has physically hit
it, or your water balance, then it is their responsibility.
