Vinyl liner pool steps are constructed of fiberglass, vinyl ester resin, and swimming pool gel coat. Staining (and blisters) occur around the pools 20th anniversary. It's caused by a breakdown of the white finish called swimming pool gel coat. Stains and blisters can only be removed by replacing the now porous gel coat with new nonporous swimming pool gel coat. Done properly, the new gel coat will last another 20 years.
