Project Overview

How we completed the restoration

In May 2025, Fibreglaze restored this painted concrete pool in Glass House Mountains, Queensland. The existing painted surface showed visible staining, including rust spots reported through the coating.

After the pool was drained, the painted interior was acid-washed, mechanically ground and grid-cut before a vinyl ester primer and resin filler were applied. The pool was then reconstructed with two layers of Fibretech fibreglass laminate and finished with two Sand Speckle AquaGuard topcoats, while the existing waterline tile band was retained.

Work completed

  • Drained the pool and acid-washed the painted concrete interior.
  • Mechanically ground the existing paint and cut the documented preparation grid.
  • Applied resin filler to prepare and level the substrate.
  • Installed two layers of Enduratec fibreglass laminate.
  • Applied two AquaGuard topcoats in the confirmed Sand Speckle finish.
  • Completed the resurfacing around the retained waterline tile band, steps and bench.

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.

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.

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Staining, roughness and an outdated finish can make a sound pool unpleasant to use and difficult to maintain.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