What’s the best season for pool renovations in the Western Cape?

Autumn and winter are ideal, as weather is cooler and you’re less likely to use the pool. However, we operate year-round.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes, we guarantee all fibreglass lining and repair work for up to 5 years, depending on the project.

How long does it take to complete a fibreglass pool renovation?

On average, a standard fibreglass renovation in Cape Town takes 7–10 working days. This includes draining, prep work, fibreglass relining, and curing. For larger projects involving paving or tile upgrades, the timeframe may extend slightly.

Can I convert my chlorine pool to saltwater during a renovation?

Absolutely. A pool renovation is the perfect time to install a saltwater chlorinator, which reduces manual chlorine dosing and improves water softness. Explore saltwater conversion options

What causes osmosis in fibreglass pools?

Osmosis (also known as black spot or black mould) is typically caused by water penetrating through tiny cracks in the fibreglass and reacting with chemicals in the resin. We treat this by grinding, disinfecting, and relining the affected area with a new gelcoat layer.

Do you provide services outside Cape Town?

Yes, we service the greater Western Cape, including areas like Somerset West, Durbanville, Stellenbosch, and the West Coast.

How do I know if my pool needs structural repairs?
