💎 Expert Fiberglass Pool Lining & Conversions: The Permanent Solution for Leaking Pools

Is Your Marbelite Pool Rough, Leaking, or Hard to Clean?

At Crispy Pools, we specialize in fiberglass pool lining—the most reliable way to “Rescue” an old concrete or plastered pool. As a division of Crispy Construction, we apply master-builder standards to ensure your new pool surface is structural, watertight, and smooth.
Whether you are in Pretoria, Sandton, or Centurion, we help you stop the cycle of constant repairs by installing a premium, hand-laid fiberglass shell directly over your existing pool.

Yes! This is our most requested service. We grind down the old, rough marbelite to create a perfect bond for the new fiberglass pool lining. It creates a seamless, flexible skin that prevents future cracks and leaks.

How can I reduce my pool chemical costs?

Marbelite is porous and “eats” chemicals while hosting algae. Our non-porous gel coat finish prevents algae growth, meaning you use up to 30% fewer chemicals to keep your water “Crispy Clean.”

Deep Mechanical Surface Preparation

A lining is only as good as its bond. We use industrial grinding equipment to remove old, degraded Marbelite and reach the “virgin” concrete. This creates the high-strength mechanical “key” required for the resin to fuse permanently to the pool wall.

How do I fix a rough pool surface that scrapes skin?

Old marbelite becomes like sandpaper over time. A fiberglass conversion provides a luxurious, high-gloss finish that is gentle on feet and swimsuits. It’s the best way to make your pool “family-friendly” again.

🏗️ The "Construction-Grade" Engineering Process

We don’t just cover cracks; we fix the source of the leak. Before any lining is applied, we “stitch” structural failures using high-tensile steel and specialized epoxy. This ensures the underlying concrete shell is stable before the new fiberglass skin is bonded to it.

Moisture-Barrier Priming & Osmotic Protection

To prevent the “bubbling” or delamination common in cheap fiberglass jobs, we apply a specialized moisture-barrier primer. This blocks ground moisture from pushing against the lining from behind, ensuring the shell remains perfectly bonded to the structure.

Hand-Laid Marine-Grade Resin & Matting

We don’t use spray-on shortcuts. We use heavy-duty, high-density fiberglass matting saturated with premium resins. Every square inch is hand-laid and rolled by our technicians to eliminate air pockets, creating a thick, structural interior.

UV-Stabilized Gel Coat Finishing

Our final layer is a high-gloss, UV-resistant gel coat. This provides the vibrant “Crispy Clean” look, creates the smooth-to-the-touch feel for swimmers, and protects the fiberglass from the harsh South African sun and chlorine
