Commercial pools face demanding operating conditions, including high bather loads, frequent cleaning and limited shutdown periods. Fibreglaze works with councils, aquatic centres, schools, resorts, hotels and body corporates, tailoring the resurfacing scope to the existing pool construction, operating environment and project requirements.
The pool is assessed for coating failure, cracks, deteriorated areas, leaking penetrations, movement joints and other substrate defects. After the required preparation and repairs, a continuous ENDURATEC reinforced lining and selected AquaGuard finish are installed. Fittings, markings, textured areas and joints can be incorporated where specified, providing a cleanable pool interior suited to ongoing commercial service.
An inspection can determine whether local repairs are suitable or whether the pool would benefit from complete resurfacing.
Every pool is assessed individually, but the work generally follows five stages—from confirming the scope and preparing the existing surface to installing the reinforced lining and applying the selected finish.
We review the facility, available drawings, photographs and operating requirements, then arrange a site inspection where required. Access, shutdown constraints, fittings, joints and visible defects are considered before the preliminary scope is prepared. The final repair scope is confirmed after the pool is emptied and inspected.
Loose coatings and unsound material are removed, and the existing pool surface is cleaned and mechanically prepared to suit its construction. Penetrations, movement joints, safety markings and high-wear areas are exposed and checked so the repair and lining stages can be coordinated with the project requirements.
Cracks, deteriorated areas, leaking penetrations and other substrate defects are treated according to their condition and the agreed project scope. Joints and details that must remain active are addressed separately, while repaired areas are levelled to provide a stable base for the reinforced lining.
A reinforced fibreglass lining is applied across the prepared pool interior to form a continuous system suited to the existing structure. Additional reinforcement is incorporated where specified or required by the repairs, with fittings, penetrations and movement details integrated into the completed lining.
Two UV-stabilised AquaGuard top coats are applied in the selected colour and finish. Specified safety markings and slip-resistant areas are incorporated where required. After curing, the pool, fittings and detailed areas are inspected, and the facility receives the agreed guidance for refilling, water balancing and return to service.
Tell us about the facility, existing pool construction, visible condition and operational requirements. Available drawings, photographs, access information, shutdown constraints and target dates help us prepare for the first project discussion.
Commercial pool resurfacing enquiry
There is no reliable standard closure period because the programme depends on pool size, access, construction, removal, repairs, cure conditions, refill time and commissioning. Hidden deterioration or work to joints, penetrations and markings can change the sequence. A commercial proposal should include a project-specific programme, hold points and assumptions. Facility managers should identify fixed events, seasonal demand, plant constraints and the latest acceptable reopening date before the scope is finalised.
Useful information includes pool dimensions and construction, the existing finish, known defects, leaks and previous repairs, drawings, photographs, fittings, markings and movement joints. Access, draining and water-disposal arrangements, plant isolation, working-hour restrictions, fixed events and the required reopening date can materially affect the programme. Identify any designer, certifier, operator or other contractor who must approve details. A site inspection and project-specific scope are still required, and the quotation should state its assumptions and how concealed deterioration will be handled.
Sometimes, but staging is not suitable for every pool. It depends on whether pools or hydraulic zones can be isolated, safe access maintained and each stage prepared, cured and commissioned without contaminating adjacent work. Interfaces between stages must remain technically sound. The operator, contractor and designer should review plant operation, public separation, water treatment, access and reopening requirements before promising partial operation. In some facilities, one planned closure is safer and more efficient than several short closures.
Yes, these elements can be incorporated when identified and specified before installation. Locations, colours, dimensions, surface texture and junction details should be coordinated with the facility operator, designer and project requirements. Slip-resistant treatment is normally targeted to nominated areas so barefoot comfort, cleanability and slip performance can be balanced. Existing markings and fittings should be documented so the quotation states what will be reinstated, replaced or altered.
