Most tired Cape Town pools are not beyond saving — they are structurally sound and simply worn out on the surface, the plant and the edges. Kwik Pools does full pool renovations across Cape Town, and we will tell you honestly what genuinely needs doing and what does not.
Resurfacing or relining, which is the single biggest change to how a pool looks and feels.
Cracks cut out and repaired properly before anything new goes over them.
A new mosaic band, replaced while the pool is already drained.
Pump, filter, valves and any pipework that has gone brittle.
Cracked weirs, perished returns, light niches and vacuum points.
The edge detail that makes a renovated pool actually look finished.
Almost always, yes — but the honest answer depends on the shell. Everything above the shell is renewable. The shell itself is what decides whether renovation makes sense.
No significant structural movement. Renovation is straightforward and good value.
Structural cracks that can be cut out and repaired before resurfacing.
Worth finding and fixing first. Never resurface over a pool that is still losing water.
Forty-year-old marbelite and original plant. The classic candidate for renovation.
Multiple visible repairs, where one proper renovation beats another patch.
Sometimes the answer is changing the shape, the depth or the surround, not just the surface.
Send us a few photos on WhatsApp and we will give you an honest first opinion before coming out.
We assess the whole pool first — shell, plant, plumbing and edges — and give you a written scope so you can see what is essential, what is worth doing while access is open, and what can wait.
Then the work runs in the right order: repairs and plumbing first, surface next, tiles and edges after, and the water balanced properly on filling. Doing it in that sequence is what stops a renovation looking like a series of patches.
Shell, surface, plant, plumbing, weir and surrounds, with any leaks found before we quote.
Essential work, worthwhile-while-we-are-here work, and optional work, priced separately.
Structural repairs, pipework and fittings, because everything else covers them up.
Resurfacing or relining, then the waterline band and any step or bench detail.
Refilled, balanced from the start, and the plant commissioned and tested.
The expensive way to renovate a pool is in pieces — resurface this year, tiles next year, then discover the weir is cracked and open it all up again.
The pool is drained and access is set up once. Anything that needs the pool empty is far cheaper done together, and the result looks like one finished job rather than a sequence of repairs.
We work the whole metro from our Plattekloof base — the Northern Suburbs, Southern Suburbs, Atlantic Seaboard, City Bowl, South Peninsula, Helderberg, West Coast and the Cape Winelands. Not sure whether you need a full renovation? Start with pool repairs.
Free on-site assessment and no call-out fee. Written scope so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Renovating is nearly always cheaper, because the expensive part — the excavation and the shell — is already there and usually still sound. Replacement only makes sense where the shell itself has failed.
It depends on the scope and the weather, since several stages need dry conditions to cure. We give you a realistic schedule upfront rather than an optimistic one.
In many cases yes, and it is worth discussing during the assessment. Reducing an unused deep end or reworking steps is a common part of renovating an older pool.
No. We price the scope in parts so you can stage it. We will tell you which items genuinely have to happen while the pool is drained and which can safely wait.
A renovated pool with a new surface, new waterline band and tidy edges reads as new. What makes the difference is doing the surface, tiles and coping together rather than one at a time.
We look at the pool, tell you what it actually needs, then quote. No call-out fee.
