Vinyl Pool Conversions

Converting a vinyl lined pool into fibreglass strengthens the original shell as well as gives the option of alterations such as the inclusion of new built in steps or ledges for example. Our system is designed specifically to give you old pool a new lease of life. It is a minimally intrusive procedure with no need to disrupt anything around the pool. On average a typical swimming pool renovation will take 1 week from commencement to complete.

Strength

Fibreglass is inherently stronger than the vinyl, and will ultimately withstand greater over the years.

Discoloration

Fibreglass pools have a colour layer which is known as a gelcoat. This layer tends to break down over the years, due to constant UV exposure from the sun, and wear and tear from use. Such thing you will expect to notice is ‘whitening’ of the surface with a chalky texture, and possibly dark patches forming on the horizontal surfaces, which is fibreglass beginning to show though as the gelcoat colour layer has completely worn away. This is known as exposure.

Lifespan

Our fibreglass will last a very long time in comparison, it will fade gradually over time like all things, but mechanically it will stay strong.

Seamless Fix

Damaging the fibreglass is hard to do, but can happen. We can seamlessly fix any damage and blend in to the original layer. This is difficult to achieve with a vinyl liner.

Streching

It is common for liners to stretch, and for folds to appear in the surface. Which can evetually lead to damage and water loss. Our Fibreglass layers have inherent flexibility to combat ground movement but ultimatley will not crease and fold like many liners we encounter.

Water Leaks

You may be loosing water through surface fitting such as eyeball jet or hydrostatic valves. We can repair and replace accordingly.

How it’s Done.

Our process is broken down into the following steps:

  • Empty water from pool & brace if required.
  • Tarp pool to protect from UV and weather.
  • Remove debris from pool area.
  • Grind/wash surface.
  • Prepare & surface for fibreglass, this includes any filling of osmosis or other damaged area.
  • Installation of any re-modelling inclusions, such as ledges, steps or plumbing items.
  • Fibreglass entire pool surface in conjunction with a high performance vinylester resin.
  • Application of Vinylester Base Coat, to fill fibreglass strand pattern & pre-colour the new surface.
  • Grind and prepare surface for finish coat.
  • Application of Top coating, manufactured to specified choice of colour using the latest UV stabilising technologies, to give a superior & durable finish.
  • Clean up and remove tarp.
  • Handover.
