Project Overview

How we completed the restoration

The Santai Palm Cove pool resurfacing formed part of a broader remediation program following an independent assessment of water ingress around the podium pool. The existing saltwater pool combined tiled floors and steps with pebble-finished walls, and multiple areas of delaminated tiling were recorded before work began.

Fibreglaze built up and laser-levelled the top edge to ensure the coping stone finished perfectly. The pool surface was then repairing and resurfaced using the Enduratec system during a five-day work window in June 2026. The mixed substrate was prepared and levelled before a reinforced fibreglass lining and two AquaGuard topcoats were applied in Dove Grey Speckle before the surrounds were completed by specialist contractors.

Work completed

  • Mobilised to Palm Cove and established the controlled work area for the scheduled pool closure.
  • Prepared the existing tile and pebble substrates, including grinding the surface and step treads where required.
  • Levelled the prepared substrate with resin filler screed and sanded it smooth.
  • Raised and levelled the coping edge by 70 mm using, ready for the later drop-face coping installation.
  • Installed the multi-layer fibreglass laminate over the pool, steps and bench to the underside of the coping.
  • Applied two AquaGuard topcoats in Dove Grey Speckle with a non-slip finish.

Leaks

Unexpected water loss can come from plumbing, fittings, cracks, tile joints, liners or the pool shell. Confirming the source before repair prevents resurfacing from being used where a plumbing or site solution is required.

Loose Hollow Masonry

Loose or hollow-sounding render, plaster, pebblecrete or another cement-based finish may no longer be firmly bonded to the pool shell. Unstable areas must be removed to a sound edge before repair, levelling and resurfacing.
