Pool renovation and structural repair
Leak tracing, shell repair, re-tiling, and system replacement — starting with an honest assessment of what is actually wrong.
Find the cause before you spend on the surface
Most renovation inquiries start with a symptom — water loss, staining, cracked tiles, cloudy water that will not clear. The symptom is rarely the problem. Re-tiling over a shell that is still moving, or resurfacing a pool that is losing water through a return line, wastes the money twice.
We assess first: pressure-test the lines, check the shell and the transition walls, inspect the equipment room, and identify whether the issue is structural, hydraulic, or chemical. You then get a written scope with the corrective work sequenced in the order that actually solves it.
Water loss of more than a couple of centimetres a week in a covered pool is a leak, not evaporation. It is worth pressure-testing the lines before assuming the shell has cracked — plumbing leaks are both more common and cheaper to correct.

What this service covers
Leak detection
Systematic testing of the shell, fittings, and pipework to locate water loss rather than guess at it.
Structural repair
Crack remediation, transition wall reinforcement, and re-waterproofing where the shell has failed.
Re-tiling and resurfacing
Full or partial re-tiling, mosaic replacement, epoxy systems, and new coping.
System replacement
Replacing undersized or worn filtration, pumps, and controls with correctly specified equipment.
Modernisation
Adding lighting, water features, heating, salt-water systems, or automation to an existing pool.
Taking over stalled works
Assessing and completing pools left unfinished by a previous contractor, with the existing work documented first.
If a pool has been drained and left empty in a high-water-table area, check for uplift damage before quoting cosmetic work. Ground water pushing up on an empty shell can crack it from below, and that crack will not stay hidden under new tile.

Questions about pool renovation
How do I know whether my pool has a leak?
Compare water loss against a bucket test over a few days. Losses well beyond evaporation point to a leak, which we then trace by pressure-testing the lines and inspecting the shell and fittings.
Can you repair cracks in the shell?
Yes, once we establish why the crack formed. Structural cracks need remediation and re-waterproofing; surface crazing in the finish is a different, less serious repair.
Can you take over a pool another contractor left unfinished?
We do, after a site assessment. We document what is already in place, test what can be kept, and give you a written scope for the correction and completion work.
How long does a renovation take?
A cosmetic renovation such as re-tiling and resurfacing usually runs three to six weeks. Structural repairs depend on the extent of the damage and are quoted after the assessment.
Is it worth renovating, or should we rebuild?
If the shell is structurally sound, renovation is almost always the better value. When the structure has failed extensively, we will say so rather than sell you repairs that will not hold.
