Project Overview

How we completed the restoration

In September 2024, Fibreglaze restored the fibreglass-lined concrete pool in Mermaid Waters, Queensland. The pool presented with delamination, deteriorated tiled areas, osmosis blistering, and a stained, rough or dated finish, requiring careful assessment and preparation before resurfacing.

The delaminated lining and deteriorated tiled areas were repaired and prepared, osmotic damage and blistering were treated, and surface irregularities were corrected with resin-based screeding and filler. A new structural fibreglass laminate was installed, and the pool was completed in Lagoon Blue Speckle using the Fibreglaze Enduratec finishing system.

Work completed

  • Prepared the pool for the Fibreglaze Enduratec resurfacing system.
  • Repaired delaminated areas back to a sound profile.
  • Prepared deteriorated tiled areas for the new lining.
  • Treated osmotic damage and blistering where identified.
  • Corrected stained, rough and uneven areas with resin-based screeding and filler.
  • Installed a new structural fibreglass laminate.
  • Applied the Lagoon Blue Speckle AquaGuard finish.

What the client said

We had a fantastic experience with the crew at Fibreglaze. The job was done efficiently, on time and to a very high quality. I would use them again if the need arose and highly recommend the company.

POOL ISSUES

Issues addressed in this pool

These were the main pool conditions recorded for this project. Select an issue to learn more about its common signs, possible causes and repair considerations.

Delamination

Delamination occurs when layers of a fibreglass pool or an earlier lining lose their bond. Hollow, lifted or soft areas must be removed to sound material before the laminate can be rebuilt and resurfaced.

Degrading Tiles

Loose tiles, eroded grout and cracked tiled areas can allow water behind the finish and create sharp or unstable surfaces. The tiling and substrate must be assessed before removal, repair or encapsulation is selected.

Osmosis

Osmosis can create raised blisters in a fibreglass pool when water penetrates the surface and reacts within the laminate. Proper treatment requires removal of affected material and reconstruction with an immersion-suitable fibreglass system.

Rough, Stained or Dated

Staining, roughness and an outdated finish can make a sound pool unpleasant to use and difficult to maintain. The underlying cause must be identified before the surface is cleaned, levelled and restored.
