Pool Resurfacing in Sandton

Restore Beauty, Safety & Value

Why Resurfacing Your Pool is a Smart Investment

Over time, exposure to sun, chemicals, water movement, and general wear causes pool surfaces to fade, chip, crack, or blister. If your pool is showing signs like roughness underfoot, stains that won’t come out, or water retention issues, pool resurfacing is often the best solution.

By resurfacing, you’ll:

  • Restore a smooth, attractive finish
  • Reduce algae buildup and simplify maintenance
  • Improve waterproofing & prevent leaks
  • Enhance safety by fixing slippery or damaged areas
  • Increase the value and aesthetic appeal of your property in Sandton

How the Resurfacing Process Works

We follow a structured, transparent approach to make sure your resurfaced pool looks great and lasts:

Free On-Site Assessment & Quote
Our team inspects the pool to identify damage (e.g. cracks, leaks, delamination), measure it, review filtration & pump condition. We then provide a detailed quote.

Surface Preparation
Draining the pool, repairing cracks or structural issues, removing old coatings, acid wash or sandblasting as needed. Preparation quality is key to longevity.

Selecting Finish & Colours
We help you choose from finishes (Marbelite, fibreglass, aggregate etc.) and colour palettes suited to Sandton’s climate and your taste.

Application & Curing
Applying the new surface finish with professional tools & techniques. Ensuring correct curing times to allow finish to harden properly and avoid peeling or early degradation.

Finishing Touches
Replacing or cleaning out waterline tiles, coping, lighting, integrating filtration upgrades if needed, ensuring watertight seals.

Handover & After-Care
Walk you through how to maintain the new surface (chemicals, cleaning, brushing), schedule follow-ups if needed, warranty and guarantee.

Signs You Need Resurfacing Now

Resurfacing should be considered when you notice any of the following:

  • The surface is rough, chalky or sharp when walking or swimming
  • Persistent stains or discolouration that don’t respond to cleaning
  • Cracks, chips, blistering or flaking of the finish
  • Water keeps turning cloudy even with proper filtration & chemicals
  • Water loss/leaks due to porous or degraded shell

Cost & What Affects Price

Resurfacing cost depends on several factors:

Factor How It Impacts Cost
Pool size / surface area More material & labour needed for large pools
Type of finish chosen Fibreglass or aggregate finishes cost more than simple Marbelite or plaster
Condition of existing surface More repair work adds cost (crack repair, plumbing, etc.)
Accessibility & complexity Difficult access, deep ends, steps, shapes increase labour time
Extras / upgrades Waterline tiles, lights, coping, pump/filter upgrades add to final cost

We aim to provide transparent pricing. After assessment, you’ll receive a quote with itemised costs so you see what you’re paying for.

FAQ

How long does resurfacing take?
Usually 4-7 days depending on pool size, condition, and required repairs. Full curing might require waiting before refilling.

How long will the new surface last?
With proper care, Marbelite lasts around 7-10 years; fibreglass or aggregate finishes can last 10-15 years or more.

Can I use my pool during resurfacing?
No — the pool must be drained, the surface worked on and allowed to cure. We’ll advise you on timelines so you can plan accordingly.

Is resurfacing better than replacement?
In many cases, yes. If the shell is structurally sound, resurfacing is far more cost-effective than a full replacement.
