We have a built in concrete slide. It was painted with an epoxy coating to make it slippery. It is peeling??

I'm not sure what to put on it. I was told to fiberglass it, but I haven't been able to find anyone who does it. The slide is large and empties into my pool. Right now it looks bad. The epoxy is peeling away. It probably needs to be sanded before anything else can be put on it. The question is, what should go on the slide to make it look good and make it slippery when the water runs down it, and won't start peeling and lifting off again?We have a built in concrete slide.

Nothing is permanent. I presume the epoxy did a decent job for a few years. It may be best to remove what is peeling, rough up the epoxy and coat again with epoxy. Check with a reputable paint store for their recommended product as not all epoxies are able to take heavy water exposure.We have a built in concrete slide.

If you want the repair to last a while, you will probably need to have the slide sand blasted and recoated. Check with local industrial painting contractors, they probably have some experience with this type of coating.
