We repair fibreglass pools in Centurion—whether you need a quick crack seal, leak diagnosis, or a full re-fibreglass, Trademen Pools can help. We work right across Centurion — from Eldoraigne, Wierda Park, Rooihuiskraal, Highveld, Irene and Lyttelton — restoring pools to a smooth, watertight, lasting finish. Parts of Centurion are known for dolomitic ground, so structural cracks and ground movement are a genuine consideration for pool shells here.
What pool repairs do we handle in Centurion?
- Spot crack sealing
- Blister repair
- Leak diagnosis
- Marbelite fixes
- Full re-fibreglass
Re-fibreglassing lays a brand-new fibreglass layer and gelcoat over a prepared shell — ideal for old marbelite pools that keep going porous and green.
Our team knows Centurion pools well — family suburbs like Eldoraigne and Irene with a high density of private pools — so we tailor the work to the conditions here rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Signs your fibreglass pool needs attention in Centurion
(a) Do you need a spot repair or a full re-fibreglass?
Not every problem needs the whole shell redone. Isolated cracks and blisters can usually be repaired and blended into the existing finish, while a full re-fibreglass is the right call once the gelcoat or laminate has widely failed. The list below helps you work out which side of that line your pool falls on.
- Osmosis blisters — raised bubbles where water has crept behind the gelcoat
- Spider & structural cracks — fine crazing or wider cracks in the shell
- Fading, chalking & rough patches — UV damage that leaves the surface harsh underfoot
- Delamination — areas where the fibreglass layer has lifted from the structure
- Ongoing water loss — a shell crack or failed fitting losing more than evaporation
- New fibreglass laminate over a prepared shell, including old marbelite pools
Our approach to swimming pool re fiberglassing
- Drain the pool and map every crack, blister and delaminated zone
- Grind back failing gelcoat and loose laminate to a sound surface
- Rebuild cracks with chopped-strand matting and resin (not just a skim)
- Lay up a fresh fibreglass layer to restore shell strength
- Apply a new UV-stable gelcoat or flowcoat in your chosen colour
- Cure, refill and balance the water ready to swim
Fibreglass repair is a resin-and-matting process, not a cement one, so surface preparation is everything — it’s the difference between a repair that lasts ten years and one that blisters again in two seasons.

Swimming Pool Re Fiberglassing FAQs — Centurion
Can you repair a fibreglass pool without redoing the whole shell?
Often yes. Isolated cracks and blisters can be repaired and blended into the existing finish. A full re-fibreglass is only needed when the gelcoat or laminate has widely failed.
Can you fibreglass over an old marbelite pool?
Yes — re-fibreglassing over a properly prepared marbelite shell is one of the most popular upgrades we do.
How long before we can swim again?
Usually within a few days of completion, once the final gelcoat has cured and the pool is refilled and balanced.
Will the new colour match the rest of the pool?
On a full re-fibreglass the whole surface is recoated for an even finish. For spot repairs we colour-match as closely as possible and advise honestly on the result.
