Expert Pool Resurfacing in Sandton: Marbelite & Fiberglass Relining Solutions
I need to resurface my pool: Where do I start?
If your pool has become a “chore” rather than a pleasure, it’s usually because the surface has reached the end of its lifespan. In Sandton, surfaces typically last 10 to 15 years before they begin to degrade.
At Crispy Pools, we don’t just “paint” your pool. We provide a structural restoration supervised personally by Chris (Master Builder). Whether you want to refresh your existing finish or completely change the material, we ensure a “Crispy Clean” result that lasts.
"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 one of the most common requests we receive in Sandton. Homeowners are tired of the maintenance that comes with Marbelite and want to switch to the “Easy Life.”
Why convert your Marbelite pool to Fiberglass?
- Lower Chemical Costs: Fiberglass is non-porous, so it doesn’t “eat” chemicals like Marbelite does.
- Stain Resistance: Say goodbye to those stubborn black algae spots that hide in Marbelite pores.
- Heat Retention: Fiberglass act as a natural insulator, keeping your water warmer for longer.
- Smooth Finish: No more “pool rash” or scratched feet 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 Sandton 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.
