    Thank you for responding Ben. The portion that collapsed was the top part of the Spa - my main pool is fine. It just the spa. Looking how to repair it myself. No contractors available as you said too busy. Any suggestions? Such what materials I need and also what I would need to frame it? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    If you're determined to do it yourself, you could chisel out the bad stuff, and enough good stuff to be able to wire in new rebar (if the old is missing or damaged), and the trowel in something like this:

    If you have plaster (marble dust + white cement) you'd have to get a bag or two of that to work with to finish. I'm not sure where you could buy that, but possibly a wholesaler might be willing to sell you two bags. I know where else to buy it locally, but it's not a chain. You may have to poke around your area to see where it could be purchased.

    Thank you for the quick response but I decided to wait and have a pro look at it. Thank you again and have a great weekend.

    As noted, I think that's the right decision.

    Good luck!
