Project Overview

How we completed the restoration

In June 2026, Fibreglaze restored this 10 x 4 m painted-concrete pool in New Brighton, New South Wales. Most of the existing paint had worn away, leaving a faded, patchy rendered surface, while the slate-faced swim-out had been identified as leaking and likely retaining water.

The remaining paint and slate were removed, existing waterline tiles were incorporated beneath the new lining, and the substrate was primed, levelled and sanded. Two layers of fibreglass laminate and two AquaGuard topcoats were then installed in Sapphire Blue Speckle, creating a seamless finish around the pool’s curved walls, steps, benches and existing rock features.

Work completed

  • Emptied the pool and prepared the work area.
  • Mechanically ground away the remaining paint from the rendered-concrete surfaces.
  • Removed the slate finish from the swim-out area.
  • Applied resin filler screed across the prepared surfaces and sanded it smooth, including screeding over the existing waterline tiles.
  • Installed two layers of fibreglass laminate as part of the Enduratec System.
  • Applied two Sapphire Blue Speckle AquaGuard topcoats with a fleck finish.
  • Integrated the new lining around the pool’s steps, benches and existing rock features.

Wearing & Fading

A faded, chalky or worn pool surface can become rough, porous and harder to keep clean. The condition should be assessed before resurfacing so weak material is removed and underlying defects are repaired.

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.

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Staining, roughness and an outdated finish can make a sound pool unpleasant to use and difficult to maintain.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.
