Complete Layout Remodeling, Reshaping & Depth Reductions

The Job: Altering the physical shape, size, or depth of your existing concrete pool shell to fit your family’s lifestyle.
What We Can Do: We can build wide, shallow tanning ledges (baja shelves) for lounging, cast neat walk-in concrete steps to replace old stainless steel ladders, or raise deep pool floors to create a uniform, modern depth—which reduces your overall water volume and saves you a fortune on heating and chemicals. We can also convert old, curved pools into sharp, modern geometric rectangles.

Smart Pump Room Upgrades & Automation During Renovations

The absolute best time to modernize your pool system is while the pool is empty and undergoing a refurbishment. Instead of hooking up your old, power-hungry pump and filter, we can integrate modern, eco-friendly smart systems directly into the job:
Smart Timers & Wi-Fi Controllers:Swap out old mechanical click-whee
l timers for a smart digital system. You can schedule your filtration cycles, adjust chemical dosing, and turn on your LED pool lights straight from your smartphone app.
Inverter Heat Pumps: If you want to swim through the colder Centurion winter months, we install high-efficiency inverter heat pumps. Unlike old-school heaters that run at full power all day, inverter tech automatically throttles up or down to keep the water warm, cutting your pool heating bills by up to 50%.
Variable-Speed Eco Pumps: We can pair your fresh pool resurfacing with an adjustable variable-speed motor that runs quietly on low, energy-saving speeds, lowering your pool’s electricity usage by up to 70%.

New Coping Stones, Waterline Mosaic Tiling & Surrounds

The Job:Chipping away old, cracked, or uneven perimeter coping bricks and replacing them with modern, non-slip bullnose stone copings.
The Finish: We hand-lay new glass or ceramic mosaic waterline tiles that frame the pool perfectly. This prevents ugly waterline staining and scale buildup while creating a clean, sharp contrast against your new interior pool resurfacing layer.

Centurion Geology Alert: Dolomite Sinkholes & Moving Clay Soil

Centurion features some of the most challenging structural ground conditions in Gauteng. Large parts of the region sit directly on unstable dolomite rock formations and highly expansive heaving clay soils.

Unstable Dolomite & Subsurface Cavities

Centurion is notorious for subsurface cavities and sinkhole risks. When a pool has a slow, hidden plumbing leak or a structural fracture, hundreds of liters of chemically treated water escape into the ground daily. This escaping water aggressively erodes the underground dolomite rock, causing subterranean voids that can lead to catastrophic sinkholes or sudden pool shell collapses.

Expansive Clay Soil Pressure

Suburbs like Wierda Park, Eldoraigne, and Rooihuiskraal sit on heavy clay that expands rapidly when soaked by summer rains and shrinks drastically during dry winters. This constant movement exerts massive shifting pressure on rigid concrete pool shells. If your contractor simply paints over a crack or applies a rigid plaster coat without structural reinforcement, the shell will snap again within months.

Our Engineering Solution

We treat pool building as structural engineering. We pinpoint hidden water loss through advanced leak detection to protect your foundations, and we use high-tensile steel stitching to give your concrete pool shell the structural strength it needs to withstand Centurion’s extreme seasonal soil shifting.

Before and After Project Success

See how our construction-grade approach completely transforms structural failures into durable, leak-proof assets.

Before: Damaged Concrete Shell

The old marbelite plaster was severely cracked, hollowed, and discolored, allowing hundreds of liters of treated water to leak into the foundations daily. This sub-surface water loss threatens the soil stability under your pool shell.

Structural Cracks - Leaking - Difficult To Maintain

After: Seamless Fiberglass Finish

The concrete shell is structurally stabilized, the fractures are bound together permanently with steel stitching, and the entire surface is lined with a vibrant, leak-proof, high-gloss blue fiberglass coating.

Recent Project: Structural Rescue in Eldoraigne, Centurion

This recent execution highlights our capacity to solve extreme water loss and structural damage caused by high-movement localized soils.

The Challenge

A residential pool sitting on high-movement Eldoraigne clay soil developed severe floor fractures, losing over 500 liters of water daily. A previous contractor’s standard plaster patch had completely snapped under ground pressure.

Our Solution:

We safely stored 45,000 liters of treated pool water in our bladders to avoid municipal refill costs. We ground the shell to raw concrete, stitched the shifting fractures with industrial steel staples, and lined it with a flexible, high-tensile fiberglass layer.

The Result

A perfectly smooth, vibrant, leak-proof pool completed and handed over in exactly 6 working days.
 1. Phase 1: Drainage & Structural Stabilization
   Day 1-2
   Water pumped to storage bladders. Crack channels ground down to bare concrete and locked with high-tensile steel staples.
 2. Phase 2: Premium Finish Application
   Day 6
   Multi-layer flexible fiberglass application and high-gloss topcoat. Water returned out of storage bladders. Project finalized.

Save Thousands with Free On-Site Water Storage Bladders

Draining a pool usually means throwing away 40,000+ liters of treated water and paying a massive municipal bill to refill it. We eliminate that cost completely while maximizing local search terms.

Eco-Friendly Water Saving Pools

We pump your existing treated water directly into our heavy-duty bladders and keep it safe on your property while we work. This completely eliminates municipal refill restrictions and saves you thousands of Rands in tap water costs.

Instant Pool Balanced Water Recovery

The moment your new fiberglass lining or marbelite surface cures, we pump your original, mature water right back into the pool. This retains your established chemical balance and means you can swim almost immediately without spending weeks buying expensive startup chemicals.

Correcting Hydraulic Flaws During Renovation

Older Centurion pools often suffer from poor water circulation because the weir and aimflow are crammed onto the same side. This creates dead spots where algae thrives and forces your pool cleaner to struggle.
During your structural renovation, we can core-drill the concrete shell to relocate or add return aimflows. This creates a perfect circular flow that pushes debris directly to the weir, reducing strain on your pump and saving you thousands in unnecessary chemicals.

  • Will a qualified builder supervise the work on-site every day?(Yes, Chris does)
  • Are shell cracks stitched with real steel staples?(Yes, we never just paint over them)

Pool Renovation FAQ

Pool renovation costs depend on the size of the pool, its condition, and the finish selected. Because every pool is different, an on-site inspection is the most accurate way to determine pricing.

If your pool has multiple issues such as cracks, leaks, and surface wear, renovation is usually more cost-effective than repeated repairs.

If problems like leaks or cracks keep coming back, it often indicates a deeper structural issue, making renovation the better long-term option.

Fiberglass is typically the best choice for durability because it is flexible, waterproof, and low maintenance. Marbelite offers a traditional look but requires more upkeep.

Fiberglass finishes can last 15–25 years, while marbelite surfaces may need resurfacing sooner depending on maintenance and conditions.

If cracks are not structurally repaired, they can return. Proper reinforcement before resurfacing prevents future issues.

Yes. Renovation allows leaks to be properly identified and repaired before the new surface is applied.

Yes, but the water can be stored and reused, helping reduce costs and water waste.

Most resurfacing projects take 5–7 working days, while structural renovations may take 2–3 weeks depending on complexity.

In most cases, renovating an existing pool is far more cost-effective than building a new one.
