Pool Resurfacing Costs Gauteng: Marbelite & Fiberglass Relining Explained
Understanding Swimming Pool Resurfacing Prices & Options for Your Gauteng Property
Crispy Pools' Estimated Pool Resurfacing Costs in Gauteng (Per Square Meter)
We believe in transparency. The cost to resurface a pool in Gauteng typically depends on factors such as the pool’s size, its current condition, the chosen material, and necessary preparatory work. Here are our competitive estimated price ranges per square meter for the two most common resurfacing options:
⚪ Marbelite Resurfacing Cost (Gauteng Estimate)
- Estimated Price Range: Starts from R450 to R700 per square metre.
- Description: A classic, cement-based plaster finish popular for its traditional aesthetic and durability. The cost varies based on the existing surface condition and colour choice.
🟢 Fiberglass Relining Cost (Gauteng Estimate)
- Estimated Price Range: Ranges from R600 to R850 per square metre.
- Description: Provides a smooth, highly durable, chemical-resistant, and non-porous surface. The price depends on whether it’s a structural relining or a surface rejuvenation.
- Please Note: These are estimated ranges to assist your budgeting. For an accurate, no-obligation swimming pool resurfacing quote tailored to your specific pool, we highly recommend booking a site inspection with our expert team.
Clear Signs Your Pool Needs Professional Resurfacing
- Cracks or Crumbling: Visible cracks in the surface, especially in marbelite pools revealing the concrete shell underneath.
- Rough or Chalky Texture: The surface feels abrasive to the touch, indicating wear and potential leaching.
- Severe Discolouration or Stains: Permanent staining or fading that cannot be removed with cleaning.
- Persistent Algae: Algae growth in pitted or rough areas, even with proper chemical treatment.
- Water Loss: A compromised surface can be a culprit for slow leaks.
- Fiberglass Delamination: For existing fiberglass pools, signs include the fibre detaching, squishy sounds underfoot, or the fiberglass becoming brittle.

Comprehensive Overview of Pool Resurfacing Options
Resurfacing is the process of applying a new surface or lining to your swimming pool interior. Crispy Pools offers the two most reliable and popular pool resurfacing options for homeowners throughout Gauteng:
1. Marbelite Resurfacing (The Traditional Choice)
- Aesthetic: Provides a beautiful, classic look.
- Durability: Highly reliable and durable when applied correctly.
- Curing Time: Cures underwater, allowing water to be reintroduced relatively quickly (4-10 hours after application).
- Customization: Available in popular shades like white and sky blue, with new colour options available.
2. Fiberglass Relining (The Modern Solution)
- Exceptional Smoothness: Creates one of the smoothest pool surfaces, making it comfortable and highly resistant to dust and algae.
- Reduced Chemical Use: Its non-porous nature means less algae growth, leading to fewer chemicals needed for maintenance.
- Durability & Flexibility: Highly durable and somewhat flexible, making it resistant to minor ground movement and cracking.
- Waterproof Barrier: Provides an excellent, seamless waterproof barrier for your pool.
- Design Versatility: Allows for a wide range of mosaic and design integrations.
- Our Recommendation: Crispy Pools does NOT recommend using epoxy or paint as primary resurfacing solutions, as these typically have a shorter lifespan (epoxy often blisters within two years, and paint is only a stop-gap for beautification). Our focus is on long-lasting, high-quality solutions for pool refinishing.
