Project Overview

How we completed the restoration

At this Capalaba home, the existing freeform concrete pool had remained unused for about 15 years. Much of its blue painted coating had already worn away, while extensive cracking and damaged tiled areas were recorded across the shell, waterline and slate swim-out.

Fibreglaze completed the restoration in early September 2025, converting the painted concrete shell to a Lagoon Blue Speckle fibreglass lining. After the remaining coating was removed and the substrate was levelled, the cracked areas and deep-end floor received additional reinforcement. The new lining continued beneath the replacement coping and over the former waterline tiles and slate swim-out before two AquaGuard topcoats completed the fleck finish.

Work completed

  • Drained the remaining rainwater and mechanically prepared the painted concrete shell, removing the residual coating.
  • Repaired and reinforced the recorded shell cracks, with additional laminate applied through the deep-end floor and other problem areas.
  • Applied resin-filler screed where required and sanded the surface smooth.
  • Installed the Enduratec fibreglass laminate across the pool shell, continuing beneath the new coping and over the former tiled waterline and slate swim-out.
  • Applied two AquaGuard topcoats in Lagoon Blue Speckle with a fleck finish.

Cracks

Pool cracks range from fine surface crazing to movement-related shell damage. An inspection is needed to identify the crack type, determine whether movement is continuing and select a repair that addresses more than the visible line.

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.

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.
