Above Ground & Inground Pool Ladder Replacement Parts

Keep your pool ladder safe, stable, and looking great with quality pool ladder replacement parts for above-ground and inground pools. PST Pool Supplies stocks the most commonly needed ladder hardware — treads, bumpers, anchor sockets, escutcheon plates, anode kits, and step components — from SR Smith, CMP, Astral, Perma-Cast, Waterway, and Active Brass Foundry, starting from $15.

Ladder treads are the most frequently replaced ladder component — they wear smooth over time, reducing slip resistance and creating a safety hazard. SR Smith 20" plastic treads (white), the SR Smith 15° tilt tread, the SR Smith Elite 20" stainless steel tread, and the Astral Universal replacement stainless steel tread cover the most common residential ladder configurations. Ladder bumpers — the rubber or plastic buffer between the ladder rail and the pool wall — protect both the ladder and pool surface from impact damage. SR Smith 1.9" female bumpers and CMP molded male bumpers are direct replacements for the most common rail sizes. Anchor sockets and wedge kits (SR Smith wedge & bolt, Perma-Cast 4" bronze channel socket, Active Brass Foundry anchor wedge) are the below-deck hardware that holds the ladder firmly in place — corroded or loose anchor sockets must be replaced immediately as they affect ladder stability and safety. The Perma-Cast Technode anode kit protects stainless steel ladders in saltwater and ionized pools from galvanic corrosion by providing a sacrificial zinc anode.

Pool ladder maintenance is a safety priority — inspect all ladder components at the start of every swim season. Check treads for cracks and smooth surfaces, verify anchor sockets are tight and undamaged, ensure bumpers are present and intact, and inspect escutcheon plates for proper seating around the ladder rails. In saltwater pools, check stainless steel rails and hardware for pitting corrosion annually — early-stage pitting can be treated with a passivation kit, but deeply corroded hardware must be replaced. Zinc anodes (Technode anode kit) should be replaced when reduced to 50% of their original size. Escutcheon plates (CMP 1.90" OD and round stainless steel 1.9") seal the deck penetration around the ladder rail and prevent water ingress under the deck — replace them when cracked or when the seal is compromised.
