Expert Pool Resurfacing in Midrand: Marbelite & Fiberglass Lining Specialists
I need to resurface my pool: Where do I start?
Midrand is a unique environment for swimming pools. From the high-density lifestyle estates of Waterfall to the expansive plots in Kyalami and Glen Austin, your pool surface is exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations and shifting Highveld soil. When your Marbelite feels like sandpaper or your Fiberglass looks dull and blistered, it is a sign the surface has reached the end of its 10 to 15-year lifespan.
At Crispy Pools, we provide a master-builder restoration supervised personally by Chris. We specialize in transforming aging, high-maintenance pools into modern, “Crispy Clean” features that add value to your property.
"My fiberglass pool needs resurfacing" – Fixing Osmosis & Fading
Fiberglass is incredibly durable, but it isn’t immortal. Over time, the sun and chemicals cause the gel coat to wear thin. You might notice:
- Osmosis Bubbles: Small blisters or “pimples” appearing on the floor or walls.
- Fading & Chalking: The color looks dull and leaves a white residue on your skin.
- Structural Cracks: Visible splits in the steps or corners.
We specialize in High-Performance Fiberglass Relining. We apply a fresh, multi-layer reinforced skin that bonds to your existing shell, making it look and feel brand new. This is the ultimate fix for an aging fiberglass pool.
"I have a Marbelite pool but want to do fiberglass lining" – The Conversion
This is the single most requested service from Midrand homeowners looking to simplify their lives. Converting your concrete pool to a Fiberglass lining is the smartest long-term upgrade you can make.
Why convert your Marbelite pool to Fiberglass?
- Lower Chemical Costs: Fiberglass is non-porous and won’t “eat” your chemicals.
- Algae Resistance: No more scrubbing black algae out of pitted Marbelite pores.
- Better Heat Retention: Fiberglass acts as a natural insulator, keeping your water warmer for longer.
- Smooth Finish: Perfectly smooth underfoot—no more “pool rash” for the kids.
"My Marbelite is rough and stained" – Professional Re-plastering
If you love the classic look of a Marbelite pool but hate the current texture, it’s time for a professional resurface. When Marbelite becomes “pitted” and rough, it’s because the cement has eroded, leaving the sharp marble white-shale exposed.
We provide Premium Marbelite Resurfacing (starts from R450 to R700 per m^2). We focus on the “Mechanical Keying” process—removing the old, failed layer so the new Marbelite bonds permanently. Under Chris’s supervision, we ensure a smooth, architectural finish that restores your pool’s luxury feel.
🏆 The Crispy Advantage: Saving Midrand Homeowners Thousands
💧 We preserve your water for FREE
Resurfacing requires a dry shell. Instead of dumping 50,000 liters of expensive, treated water down the drain, we pump it into our owned storage bladders.
- No Rental Fees: Most contractors charge you R1,500+ per day for bladders. We don’t.
- No Refill Bills: You save thousands on your Sandton municipal water account.
🏗️ We fix the structural cause
Because we are backed by Crispy Construction, we don’t just cover up cracks. If your shell is leaking, we use Industrial Steel Stitching to fix the structure before we apply the new surface.
