Bring your old pool back to life
You don't need to demolish and rebuild to fall in love with your pool again. Our pool resurfacing Johannesburg service strips back a worn, rough or stained pool and finishes it fresh, whether that's classic marbelite, a smooth fibreglass shell or a premium aggregate finish, for a fraction of the cost of starting over.
From a simple resurface to a full makeover with new waterline tiles, coping, lights and fittings, we handle the whole renovation in-house, with vans out daily across Sandton and Midrand. We're especially good at modernising the dated and inherited pools that come with so many Gauteng homes, turning a 1980s eyesore into a clean, contemporary feature. Many owners take the opportunity to add pool heating while the equipment is open, so the refreshed pool is ready to swim from early spring.
- Free on-site assessment, we look at the pool and quote properly, not over the phone.
- Marbelite, fibreglass & premium finishes, the right surface for your budget.
- One team, whole job, surface, tiling, coping and fittings handled together.
- Fixed written quote, clear scope and price with a day-by-day timeline.

Resurfacing done right, surface up
A lasting finish starts with proper preparation. We drain the pool, chip back failing marbelite, repair any cracks and grind the surface back to a sound base before a single coat goes on. Skip that and even a beautiful new finish will flake and fail within a season, so we never do. Where the shell has deeper structural damage, our pool repairs team handles it as part of the same project.
From there we re-plaster, re-tile the waterline, lay new coping and swap out tired weirs, returns and lights so everything matches the fresh look. It's the difference between a quick patch-up and a renovation that genuinely lasts for years.

Pool renovation questions, answered
What are the signs my pool needs resurfacing?
Tell-tale signs include a rough, chalky or sandpaper-like surface, stubborn stains and discolouration that won't brush out, marbelite that flakes or feels like it's powdering off on your hands, visible cracks, and water that's harder than usual to keep clear because the deteriorating surface keeps feeding the chemistry. If your pool is constantly losing a little water, we'd also check for cracks before resurfacing.
How long does resurfacing take, and how long will the finish last?
A straightforward marbelite resurface usually takes a few days on site once the pool is drained and prepared, plus curing and filling time before you swim. Bigger renovations with re-tiling, new coping and equipment changes run longer, and we give you a day-by-day timeline with your quote. Once done, a well-applied marbelite finish typically lasts many years, with fibreglass and premium aggregate finishes lasting longer still, and balanced water with a regular maintenance plan extends the life of any finish.
What's the difference between marbelite, fibreglass and other pool finishes?
Marbelite is the classic cement-based plaster finish, affordable, repairable and the most common on Gauteng pools. Fibreglass gives a smooth, flexible shell that resists cracking and algae and is quick to apply. There are also premium aggregate and pebble finishes for a high-end, longer-lasting look. We assess your pool and budget and recommend the finish that makes the most sense for you.
How much does pool resurfacing cost in Johannesburg?
It depends on the size of your pool, the finish you choose and whether the job also involves re-tiling, new coping or repairs. Marbelite is the most cost-effective option, with fibreglass and premium finishes costing more. We provide a detailed fixed quote after a free on-site assessment so there are no surprises.
Can you modernise an old or inherited pool?
Absolutely, it's one of the things we do most. We restore tired, dated pools with a fresh surface, modern waterline and mosaic tiling, new coping, and updated lights, weirs and return fittings. The result is a clean, contemporary pool that looks brand new, often for far less than building one from scratch.
