The homeowners of an 11m x 3m pebblecrete pool in Elanora Heights faced a significant challenge with their outdoor space. Over time, the pool’s surface had deteriorated, making it less functional and visually unappealing. Adding to the complexity was the presence of a rock waterfall feature that surrounded the pebblecrete pool. The feature had caused damage to the pool’s waterline, leaving the area vulnerable to further issues. The owners knew they needed more than just a cosmetic fix; they required a full-scale solution to restore their pebblecrete pool to its former glory.

As the rock waterfall feature was removed, unexpected damage along the waterline became apparent. This created a new issue, as the structural integrity of the pebblecrete pool had been compromised. It was clear that simply resurfacing the pool would not be enough. The damage required extensive repair work, including the application of rendering, to ensure that the pool could be resurfaced smoothly and safely. The pool needed this essential repair to prevent further water damage and to guarantee a long-lasting, high-quality finish.

The challenge lay not only in fixing the damage but also in coordinating the repairs with the landscaping work. Despite these hurdles, the project was managed effectively, with the pebblecrete pool renovation progressing in a timely manner. The result would be a beautifully restored pool, ready to withstand the elements and provide the homeowners with a safe, visually appealing, and low-maintenance swimming environment. This pool renovation demonstrated the importance of addressing underlying issues to ensure a durable and seamless outcome.

About Project

The renovation of this pebblecrete pool included the challenge of working around existing landscaping features. The rock waterfall, an integral part of the pool’s design, needed to be removed, which caused waterline damage that required careful restoration. To repair the pool, we applied rendering to the affected areas, ensuring a solid and smooth surface before completing the resurfacing process. The project was carried out over three weeks, leaving the pool in pristine condition.

For this resurfacing project, we followed the following process:

  1. Drain the Pool.
  2. Remove the hydrostatic valve.
  3. Remove damaged/"drummy" areas to existing surfaces (up to 2sqm).
  4. Prepare pool surface to accommodate new fibreglass interior.
  5. Cut out and treat rust.
  6. Apply a Primer Coat.
  7. Apply Reinforcing Material (Fibreglass Laminate).
  8. Apply Bulk Resin Coat over Fibreglass Laminate.
  9. Apply Filler Coat (undercoat).
  10. Apply Final Topcoat (colour of your choice).
  11. Apply a non-slip surface to step treads.
  12. Replace hydrostatic valve.
