Frequently Asked Questions

How do I tell whether my pool is leaking or just losing water through evaporation?

Evaporation varies with temperature, wind, humidity and pool conditions, so some water loss is normal on the Gold Coast. A controlled bucket comparison can help indicate whether the pool is losing water faster than evaporation alone would explain. If unexplained water loss continues, further investigation of fittings, plumbing and the pool structure may be needed.

Can you repair a crack in a concrete swimming pool?

Many concrete pool cracks can be repaired, but the correct method depends on whether the damage affects the surface finish or the concrete shell. Cracks associated with ongoing movement, displacement or structural concerns may require engineering assessment. We inspect the damage and discuss appropriate next steps before recommending a repair.

Can damaged pebblecrete be patched without resurfacing the whole pool?

Localised pebblecrete repairs may be suitable when the surrounding material remains sound and the damaged section can be properly prepared. If the finish is widely delaminating or shedding aggregate, broader resurfacing may offer better value. New patches can also look different from older pebblecrete because of colour and texture changes.

How much do swimming pool repairs cost on the Gold Coast?

Costs vary depending on the type of damage, pool construction, access, materials, preparation and whether specialist testing is required. A minor surface repair has a different scope from concealed plumbing work or structural remediation. We recommend a project-specific assessment and estimate rather than relying on a generic average.

Do I need to empty my pool before repairs?

Not every repair requires a fully drained pool. Some work may involve lowering the water level, while other repairs or resurfacing projects need more extensive water management. Draining certain pools without considering groundwater and structural conditions can be risky, so the approach should be determined before work begins.

How long will my pool be out of use during repairs?

The downtime depends on the repair method, extent of damage, preparation and curing requirements. Some localised repairs involve less disruption than resurfacing or more extensive restoration. We discuss the likely sequence and relevant product requirements as part of the agreed scope.

Can a damaged fibreglass pool be repaired?

Many fibreglass chips, surface cracks and localised defects can be assessed for repair using suitable materials. Deeper laminate damage, significant distortion or widespread blistering may require more involved investigation and restoration. The condition of the shell determines whether a local repair is appropriate.
