Expert Pool Resurfacing in Pretoria: Marbelite & Fiberglass Lining Specialists
I need to resurface my pool: Where do I start?
Pretoria’s climate is legendary, but the heat can be brutal on swimming pool surfaces. Whether you have a large, classic concrete pool in Waterkloof or a modern shell in Silver Lakes, your pool surface will eventually degrade. After 10 to 15 years, Marbelite becomes rough and Fiberglass begins to fade or blister.
At Crispy Pools, we provide a master-builder restoration supervised personally by Chris. We don’t just “patch” pools; we re-engineer them. Whether you are looking for a fresh Marbelite finish or an upgrade to a durable Fiberglass lining, we ensure a “Crispy Clean” result that enhances your property’s value.
"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
Fiberglass is a fantastic material for the Pretoria climate, but UV rays and chemical wear eventually break down the gel coat. If you notice these signs, it’s time for a specialist relining:
* Osmosis Bubbles: Small blisters appearing on the floor or walls of the pool.
* Fading & Chalking: The surface feels “chalky” and the color has lost its vibrance.
* Structural Cracks: Visible splits in the shell, often caused by ground movement.
We specialize in High-Performance Fiberglass Relining. We bond a fresh, multi-layer reinforced skin to your existing shell, creating a seamless, watertight barrier that looks brand new.
"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 Pretoria 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.
