Repair, renovation or rebuild?
- Repair: one fault is fixed, such as a leak, a loose tile or a noisy pump
- Renovation: the pool is refurbished: surface, tiles, waterproofing and equipment
- Rebuild: the shell and structure are rebuilt, usually after major cracking or movement
What changes the price
- Pool size and shape
- Tile or finish chosen
- Condition of the waterproofing and shell
- Equipment to replace
- Access for materials and machinery
- Extras such as lighting, steps, coping or a chiller
Signs your pool needs renovation
- Rough, stained or cracked surface
- Loose or missing tiles
- Water loss you cannot explain
- Repeated equipment failures
- Faded or dated finishes
If water loss is the issue, start with our guide to pool leak detection.
How long does a renovation take?
It depends on the scope. Repairs can be quick, while full resurfacing or re-tiling takes longer because the pool must be drained, prepared, finished and refilled.
Frequently asked questions
Is it cheaper to renovate or rebuild?
If the structure is sound, renovation usually costs much less than a rebuild.
Can I change the tiles only?
Yes, if the shell and waterproofing are in good condition.
