The problem: a leaking gunite pool in Kraaifontein
The client’s old gunite pool was leaking badly and had several issues:
- Loose and delaminated old fibreglass lining
- Cracks on the walls and floor letting water escape
- A rough, stained surface that was hard to clean
- A high water bill from constant refilling
How we relined this Kraaifontein gunite pool with fibreglass
To fix it permanently, our team carried out our proven 6 step relining process:
- Drain and strip: we drained the pool and removed all the loose, old fibreglass.
- Grind and prep: the whole gunite shell was ground to create a strong bonding surface.
- Crack repairs: all cracks and hollow areas were repaired with high strength waterproof mortar.
- Prime: a specialist bonding primer went on for maximum adhesion.
- Fibreglass application: 2 layers of 450g high quality fibreglass matting with premium resin.
- Flowcoat finish: a smooth, glossy blue flowcoat that is 100% waterproof, UV resistant and easy to clean.
