How we relined this Rondebosch gunite pool
Our own crew drained and cleaned the pool, ground back the old surface, repaired every crack and hollow, then built up two layers of premium fibreglass matting and resin before the colour topcoat and non-slip steps.
The result: a crystal clear fibreglass pool
The client chose our premium Crystal Clear Blue after seeing samples. The finish is smooth underfoot, completely sealed and non-porous, so algae has nothing to grip and the pool needs fewer chemicals.
Why Rondebosch homeowners choose fibreglass for gunite pools
Rondebosch has many older homes with original gunite pools. Fibreglass relining is the best lifetime fix: 100% waterproof, smooth, low maintenance and it lasts 20 years and more. You keep the shell you already have and get a brand new surface over it.

Will fibreglass stop my gunite pool from leaking?
Yes, 100%. Fibreglass creates a single waterproof shell inside your old gunite pool, and all cracks and leaks are sealed permanently. That is why we give a 10 Year Guarantee.
What colours are available?
The most popular is Crystal Clear Blue, like this Rondebosch project. We also do Light Blue, Dark Blue, White and Aquamarine, and we bring samples so you can choose on site.
How long does fibreglass last on a gunite pool?
25 years and more with basic care. Unlike paint (1 to 2 years) or marbelite (5 to 7 years), fibreglass is non-porous, so there is no algae, no staining, it is easy to clean and it saves on chemicals.
