Frequently Asked Questions
Quality epoxy pool paint typically lasts 7-10 years in Melbourne conditions when professionally applied. Factors affecting longevity include proper surface preparation, water chemistry maintenance, and exposure to harsh weather. We use premium Australian-certified pool paints designed for our climate, and provide detailed care instructions to maximise your investment.
Pool painting involves applying epoxy or chlorinated rubber paint over existing sound surfaces, ideal for pools with minor wear. Resurfacing is more comprehensive—we strip back to bare concrete, repair cracks and damage, then apply new coatings or render. Resurfacing is recommended when there's significant deterioration, multiple cracks, or when the existing surface is beyond simple repainting.
A standard residential pool painting project takes 5-7 days, weather dependent. This includes draining, surface preparation, acid washing or water blasting, repairs, primer application, and two coats of finish paint with drying time between coats. Resurfacing projects take 10-14 days. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your free consultation.
Yes! Winter (June-August) is actually ideal for pool painting in Melbourne. Cooler temperatures mean better paint curing, less water evaporation during preparation, and you're not missing summer swimming time. We work year-round and can schedule your project to have your pool ready for the warmer months.
Yes, complete drainage is essential for proper surface preparation, inspection, and paint application. We handle the entire draining process safely and in compliance with Melbourne Water regulations. After painting and curing, we'll advise on the best refilling and water balancing procedures.
If your waterline tiles are cracked, missing, or dated, it's cost-effective to replace them during a repaint. You've already drained the pool and exposed the area—it's the perfect time. Fresh tiles dramatically enhance your pool's appearance and protect the waterline from staining and calcium buildup.

Testimonials
What Our Clients are Saying
The team were punctual, professional and tidy. They fixed cracks, prepped the whole shell properly and applied a navy epoxy finish that looks amazing. No mess, clear communication and the pool was refilled on time. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a long-lasting, premium finish
Werribee Resident
“From quote to completion the crew were great. They explained the epoxy options, repaired an old fibreglass blister, and the final surface is silky smooth. Our family loves the new colour and the kids are back in the pool already. Excellent value and a five-star team.”
Williams Landing
We engaged them to resurface the communal pool for our complex. The project ran to schedule, safety and access were handled professionally, and the marine-grade coating has stood up to heavy use. The cleaner finish and updated waterline have really improved resident satisfaction. Would recommend for both residential and commercial work.
Sunshine West
We were worried our concrete pool was too far gone but they explained every step clearly and restored it beautifully. Smooth surface, modern colour and no more chalky water. Really great communication and they left the place clean. Would happily recommend to friends and family.
Footscray
We moved into an older place and the pool surface was faded and rough. The team fully prepped it, repaired a few chips and applied a deep blue finish that looks like a resort now. They turned up on time every day and were super respectful of our small backyard access. Worth every cent.
