Pool Renovation Services
A pool is a single concrete structure, and its problems are connected. A failing interior, a leaking shell, lifting coping and a stained waterline often turn up on the same pool — and the smart time to deal with them is together, while the pool is drained.
Below are the five things we do. Most renovations combine a few of them. Start with whichever matches what you’re seeing, and we’ll tell you honestly on-site whether it needs the full job or just one part of it.
Pool Resurfacing
The interior surface fails long before the shell does. Pebble goes rough, marblesheen chalks and delaminates, fibreglass gelcoat blisters. Resurfacing strips the failed layer back to sound substrate and rebuilds it in pebble, quartz, glass bead or a fresh gelcoat.
It’s the core of most pool renovations, and the finish you choose sets how many years it is before you do it again.
Pool Tiling
Waterline bands and fully tiled interiors. The waterline tile band exists because staining concentrates at the water line — the good looks are a bonus. Tile is usually done during a resurface, while the pool is already drained.
Pool Painting
A maintenance finish, not a permanent one. Epoxy, chlorinated rubber and acrylic coatings aren’t intermixable, so identifying the existing system before recoating is the whole job — the wrong coat over the wrong system fails within a couple of seasons.
Coping Replacement
Coping caps the bond beam — the reinforced top edge of the pool structure. When it lifts, cracks or drums underfoot, water is tracking behind it toward the reinforcement. Left alone, a cosmetic coping problem becomes a structural one.
Leak Detection & Crack Repair
Losing more water than evaporation explains means a leak — a shell crack, a failed fitting, the skimmer, or a pipe under the paving. We pressure-test, dye-test and trace it before anything is dug up, then repair what’s found. Not every crack leaks, and not every crack is structural; telling them apart is the diagnosis.
Not Sure What Your Pool Needs?
Most people don’t arrive knowing whether they need a resurface, a retile or a repair — they just know something’s wrong. That’s what the assessment is for. We inspect the pool full, then drained, and tell you what it actually needs, in writing, before you commit to anything.
And if your pool predates the mid-1990s, there’s one thing worth reading before any work starts.
