Another happy client in Durbanville! This one is a job type we get asked about every week: an old gunite pool, 7m x 4m, leaking and rough, that the owners had been repainting year after year. We converted it to fibreglass – and it will never need paint again.
The problem: an old gunite pool that drinks paint and leaks water
Gunite pools are strong, but the surface ages: hairline cracks spread, the finish goes rough, and every repaint lasts a season or two before it chalks and peels. Meanwhile the cracks keep letting water out. This 7×4 had all the classic symptoms.
The fix: convert the gunite to fibreglass
Instead of yet another paint job, our team converted the shell to fibreglass:
- Stripped and prepared the old gunite surface
- Repaired the cracks in the shell
- Applied a full fibreglass lining over floor, walls and steps
The result: a brand new fibre pool in 3 days, R29,000 all inclusive
Three days from start to finish. 100% waterproof, smooth, strong – and no more annual painting, ever. R29,000 all inclusive with our 10 year guarantee. Fibreglass done properly lasts 15+ years on a gunite shell. Our client is over the moon – another 5-star job done!
The team behind the work
As always, this was our own trained Gibbs Pools crew from start to finish – no subcontractors.
