Pool resurfacing is generally considered when an ageing or damaged interior needs more than a localised repair, or when separate repairs should be integrated into one continuous reinforced lining. It can also create a new fibreglass interior over suitably prepared concrete-based surfaces or as part of a painted, tiled or vinyl-liner conversion.
An initial review can identify the likely pathway, but the full scope cannot be confirmed from colour or age alone. The pool’s construction, visible defects and previous repairs all matter, and some conditions only become clear once the pool has been emptied under controlled conditions and the existing surface is exposed.
A localised repair where the affected area is limited and the surrounding surface remains suitable
Complete resurfacing where wider preparation and repairs need to be integrated into one continuous lining
A fibreglass conversion or new lining for painted, tiled, vinyl-lined or new concrete interiors
Preparation and repair requirements depend on the pool’s construction and whether its current interior can be retained or needs to be removed. Select the closest match below to see the service written for that pool type.
For moulded fibreglass shells and concrete pools that already have an existing fibreglass lining.
For pebblecrete, Marblesheen and tiled pools, where the existing surface is repaired before the new fibreglass lining is installed.
For painted and vinyl-lined pools, where the existing coating or liner is removed before the new fibreglass lining is installed.
For new concrete shells requiring an interior lining and commercial pools with project-specific requirements.
Surface wear is not always just cosmetic. Cracks, water loss, separating fibreglass and loose or deteriorated finishes can indicate defects that need to be addressed before a new lining is installed.
The visible symptom does not confirm the cause. An assessment determines whether resurfacing is appropriate and whether movement, plumbing or other work is also required.

Where resurfacing is suitable, the result is more than a cosmetic colour change. Unsound material is removed as required, identified defects are repaired and levelled, and a continuous reinforced fibreglass lining is installed over the prepared pool interior. The selected AquaGuard colour and finish complete the new surface.

The visible finish is only the final layer. The preparation and reinforced system beneath it form the complete resurfacing system.
The ENDURATEC System combines pool-specific preparation, compatible vinyl-ester bonding and repair materials, a continuous reinforced fibreglass lining and two UV-stabilised AquaGuard top coats. The preparation and repair scope is adjusted to the construction and condition of each pool.
Two UV-stabilised AquaGuard top coats provide the selected colour and smooth finished surface, with the chosen speckle finish where specified.
Fibreglass reinforcement is installed across the prepared interior to form one continuous lining, with additional local reinforcement where required.
A compatible vinyl-ester resin/primer system is used with resin-based repair and levelling materials where the assessed condition requires them.
Loose, deteriorated or poorly bonded material is removed as required, and the retained surface is cleaned and mechanically prepared to provide a sound base.
Together, these components create a continuous resurfaced interior rather than a surface-only coating. The final specification remains specific to the pool, its substrate and the repairs identified.
Conceptual system build-up only. Components are not shown to scale, and preparation and repairs vary according to the pool.
Every pool is different, but resurfacing generally follows five stages. The final preparation and repair scope is confirmed after the pool is emptied and the existing surface can be properly inspected.
We review the pool details and photographs and arrange an inspection where required. Once emptied, the exposed interior is checked and the final scope is confirmed.
Loose, deteriorated or poorly bonded material is removed. The retained surface is cleaned and mechanically prepared for the repair and lining work that follows.
Identified defects and surface irregularities are treated, rebuilt or levelled as required to create a sound, consistent base.
Fibreglass reinforcement is installed across the prepared pool interior to form one continuous lining, with additional local reinforcement where required.
Two UV-stabilised AquaGuard top coats complete the selected colour and finish. After curing and inspection, applicable fittings are refitted and guidance is provided for refilling and initial water balancing.
