What to expect from pool resurfacing in Melbourne
A swimming pool is a huge asset to any backyard. It provides a source of leisure, enjoyment and relaxation for the whole family. However, like any outdoor equipment that sees regular usage, swimming pools do begin to break down on the surface over time. Cracks, abrasions and dark spots can start to appear on your pool’s outer layers, and this can ultimately deteriorate the condition of your swimming pool. Thankfully, it’s possible to repair the surface with professional pool resurfacing in Melbourne. This is a process used to reshape and restore the surface, giving your pool a brand-new lease on life.
But what can you actually expect when you book in for a swimming pool restoration in Melbourne with Coastal Pool Interiors? We’ll discuss this and more, in today’s article.
Your type of pool
At Coastal Pool Interiors, we offer three main services for three different types of swimming pool. These are fibreglass renovations, concrete renovations/conversions and vinyl restorations/conversions. Depending on the type of pool that you own, the pool resurfacing process can look a little different. However, the main objective is still to restore the surface of your pool, regardless of the original construction. If you require fibreglass pool resurfacing in Melbourne, we can provide full shell renovations that include structural fixes, fibreglass remodelling and surface coatings. If you’re in need of concrete pool resurfacing, we’re able to repair the concrete & convert it to fibreglass for a hassle free pool experience. If you’re seeking a vinyl pool restoration, we can replace the vinyl for a brand-new fibreglass interior lining. No matter what material your pool is made from, we offer different solutions to ensure that you receive a restored pool that is exactly what you envisioned.
Fibreglass pool resurfacing
Concrete pools are commonly finished with a cement-based material known as “plaster,” that seals and protects the shell of the pool. In most cases, the plaster is coated with paint, epoxy, marblesheen, quartz or tile. Over a period of many years, the coating and surface of the plaster is exposed to UV and chemicals. This slowly breaks down the plaster, requiring it to be resurfaced. Depending on where you’re located in Australia, your pool may require resurfacing every 10 to 20 years. If you’re thinking about concrete pool resurfacing in Melbourne, it may not be required as often as a pool owner in Perth who experiences harsh UV on a daily basis. At Coastal Pool Interiors, we employ a specialist team who will first repair any cracks, rust penetration and spalling, before preparing your pool surface. The loose plaster is removed and the surface is roughened up, making it ideal for the new fibreglass coating to bond to it. Depending on your pool and finish, it may be sandblasted, chipped, or chemically etched. This process usually takes around 10 days and can cost anywhere from $8,000 to $18,000, depending on the size and condition of your pool. Additionally, we can also remodel your pool with the inclusion of new steps, ledges & swimouts along with new internal & external pool equipment.
Vinyl pool restoration
Vinyl pools are essentially a large below-ground structure that has been covered with vinyl sheeting. The vinyl I unable to be “resurfaced” as such, but instead requires the vinyl sheeting to be replaced after a period of 5 to 10 years*. Generally, vinyl sheeting costs average between $8,000 and $15,000 obviously depending on the size of your pool. Whilst it is possible to replace vinyl sheeting yourself, it’s not recommended as the job can be a difficult and tedious process. It’s a much better idea to think about converting your pool with a fibreglass lining and letting the professionals take care of your vinyl pool restoration in Melbourne. Additionally, we can also remodel your pool with the inclusion of new steps, ledges & swim outs along with new internal & external pool equipment. The job may take anywhere from 1-3 weeks before your pool is ready for swimming again. Once converted your pool will look much newer, cleaner and fresher. Any build-up of algae will be gone, and you will no longer have to deal with rips, fading or water leaks.
