What is a Concrete to Fibreglass Conversion?

What Does Converting Concrete to Fibreglass Actually Involve?

  • Most Perth pools were built with pebblecrete or render — a surface that becomes rough, porous, and prone to blistering over time.
  • A fibreglass conversion replaces that ageing surface with a smooth, non-porous coating applied directly to your existing pool shell.
  • The result feels and performs completely differently — no rough edges, no chemical battles, no blisters.
  • You keep your existing shell. We remove the old surface, prepare it correctly, and apply the fibreglass — typically in four to five days.

Why Resurface

What a Fresh Fiberglass Finish Actually Fixes

These are the most common signs a fibreglass pool surface has reached the end of its life — and exactly what a proper resurface resolves.

Rough Texture

Aged pebblecrete wears rough as the aggregate exposes. Fibreglass is smooth from day one and stays that way — no scratches, no rough edges, no more dreading the pool steps.

Osmosis & Blistering

Concrete surfaces are porous. Water gets in, gets trapped, and pushes up to form blisters. Fibreglass is non-porous — the entire cycle of osmotic damage stops.

Cracks & Crazing

Surface crazing and hairline cracking in aged pebblecrete lets water in and accelerates deterioration. A fibreglass conversion seals the shell and stops water penetration at the surface.

Fading & Chalking

Concrete surfaces lose colour and chalk over time as the surface breaks down. Fibreglass holds its colour and finish significantly longer in WA’s harsh UV conditions.

How Concrete to Fiberglass Pool Resurfacing Works

  1. Drain & Assess

    We fully drain the pool and evaluate the condition of the existing concrete surface — identifying cracks, hollow spots and any structural issues that need to be addressed before the conversion begins.

  2. Prepare

    The old concrete finish is ground back to expose a clean, solid substrate. Any cracks or hollows are filled with specialist resin and sealants. This stage determines everything — a conversion is only as good as the preparation underneath it.

  3. Prime & Laminate

    An ester primer is applied to seal the concrete and create a strong mechanical bond. Fibreglass matting is then hand-laid across the entire pool interior and saturated with high-grade resin — building the fibreglass lining layer by layer directly onto your existing pool.

  4. Gelcoat & Finish

    Once the laminate has cured and been sanded smooth, a UV-resistant, non-porous gelcoat is applied in your chosen colour — giving the pool its final smooth finish and the protection it needs to handle WA conditions for decades.

Every pool is different — the cost depends on the size, surface condition and scope of work involved. Get in touch for a free quote and we will give you a fixed price with no hidden costs.

Most pools are completed in 5 to 7 days from the time our crew starts on site. The exact timeline depends on the size and condition of the pool. We give you a clear timeframe before work begins so there are no surprises.

You do not need to move out. The pool will be out of use during the resurfacing process and for the curing period afterwards, but the rest of your property remains completely accessible throughout.

Our fibreglass resurfacing comes with a 15-year warranty and is designed to last between 15 and 20 years. It is one of the longest lasting pool surface options available.

Yes — we service all of Western Australia. From Perth metro suburbs to Geraldton, from the Great Southern to the Kimberly and everywhere in between. If you have a pool in WA, we can get to it.

We offer eight colour options — Sand, Grey, Aquatic Blue, Marine Blue, Pool Blue, Riviera Blue and Pacific Blue. View the full colour range on our colours page.

This is the most common concern homeowners have — and it is a legitimate one. When the preparation is done correctly, the fibreglass resin mechanically bonds to the concrete surface and becomes effectively inseparable from it. The key is thorough surface preparation and the right primer. This is exactly where we focus our attention on every conversion job.

Yes — and this is one of the major advantages of a concrete to fibreglass conversion over a pre-made factory shell. Because the fibreglass is applied by hand directly onto the existing pool, we can build custom steps, add a tanning ledge or adjust the depth before the laminate goes on. It is an opportunity to improve the pool while restoring it.

Concrete is naturally porous — algae roots itself into the surface, chemical consumption is higher and the finish needs attention every 5 to 10 years. A fibreglass gelcoat is non-porous, significantly smoother and built to last 15 to 20 years with far less maintenance. For most concrete pool owners across Perth and regional WA, converting to fibreglass is the last resurface they will ever need.
