Another successful pool relining project completed in Kuils River, where Gibbs Pools restored a heavily damaged and leaking swimming pool back to a fully functional, long-lasting condition. This type of structural repair work is common across Kuils River, Brackenfell, Durbanville, and surrounding Cape Town suburbs where older pools begin to fail over time.
POOL CONDITION
The pool was in poor condition due to long-term structural wear. The surface had developed multiple cracks and previous patch repairs had failed to hold. As a result, the pool was losing water consistently, requiring constant refilling and maintenance.
The internal finish had also become rough and uneven, making it uncomfortable and indicating that the underlying structure had deteriorated beyond simple resurfacing or repainting solutions.
THE FIX
Gibbs Pools carried out a full structural relining solution to permanently resolve the issue.
The entire pool was prepared and then relined using a full fiberglass lining system, which was bonded directly to the existing shell. This process creates a completely sealed, seamless surface that reinforces the structure from within.
The fiberglass system provides a smooth, waterproof barrier that is highly resistant to cracking and movement, making it an ideal long-term solution for pools that have failed traditional repair methods.
This type of pool relining is designed to extend the lifespan of the pool by 15–20 years, eliminating ongoing leaks and reducing maintenance costs significantly.
THE RESULT
The transformation was immediate and highly effective. The pool is now fully sealed, structurally reinforced, and completely watertight.
The client noted the difference immediately, expressing relief that the constant water loss had finally stopped and that the pool now looks and feels brand new again.
This project is a strong example of how professional pool relining can fully restore failing pools without the need for complete reconstruction, especially in areas like Kuils River where older pool structures are common.
