Good to know

Common questions

What's the difference between a pool renovation and resurfacing?

Resurfacing replaces the pool's interior finish — the surface you actually touch and see. It's the right job when the shell is sound but the finish has faded, gone rough, or started to fail.

A renovation goes further. It takes in repairs to the shell itself, plus the surrounds — coping, tiling, waterline — as well as the interior. If your pool has structural cracks or the edges are dated, you're looking at a renovation rather than a resurface.

We'll tell you honestly which one your pool needs when we quote. There's no benefit to us selling you a renovation if a resurface will do.

How do I know if my pool needs resurfacing?

The common signs are:

  • Colour has faded or gone patchy
  • The surface feels rough or abrasive underfoot
  • Cracks, or hollow-sounding spots in the finish
  • Rust staining coming through from below
  • Algae you can't stay on top of, no matter the chemicals
  • Chemical and maintenance costs creeping up

That last one catches people out. A deteriorating surface goes porous, which gives algae somewhere to take hold and quietly pushes your running costs up long before the pool looks obviously bad.

What pool interior finishes do you offer?

Four main interior finishes:

  • Pebblecrete — a classic, hard-wearing pebble finish with an endless range of colours, pebble sizes and shapes
  • Glasscrete — glass beads for a sparkling effect underwater
  • Quartzon — a smooth, bright quartz-based finish
  • Blue Glass Pebble — a deep blue designer finish

Alongside those we work with natural stone coping, and ceramic and glass mosaic tiles. Colours run from light greens through to deep blues.

How much does a pool renovation or resurface cost?

It depends on the size of the pool, the finish you choose, and what condition the shell is in — which is why we quote on site rather than over the phone.

Quotes are free and carry no obligation. Call Jeff on 0413 479 688 and he'll come and look at it.

Do you charge for quotes?

No. Quotes are free and there's no obligation attached. We'll come to you, look at the pool, and tell you what it actually needs.
