Trademen Pools provides swimming pool repair in Sandton for homes and businesses in Bryanston, Morningside, Rivonia, Sandown, Hyde Park and Woodmead and the rest of Sandton. Strong Highveld UV and summer hail mean even premium pools need periodic refinishing to stay pristine. We inspect and pressure-test every pool first, to find every crack and its cause, before we recommend or price any repair. We assess each pool on site and quote honestly.
From leaks and cracks to pumps, finishes and fittings, we’re a single point of call for pool repairs — we diagnose the real problem and fix it properly.
Our team knows Sandton pools well — luxury homes in Bryanston, Hyde Park and Morningside with feature and infinity pools — so we tailor the work to the conditions here rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Most cracked pools can be saved — if the underlying cause is fixed.
The cracks and damage we fix in Sandton
- Structural cracks — often linked to ground movement, fixed back to full strength
- Surface crazing — fine cracks sealed before they spread
- Leaking cracks — traced, opened up and rebuilt watertight
- Movement & settlement damage — assessed for the underlying cause
- One contractor for leaks, cracks, finishes, pumps and fittings
How we repair pool cracks
- Inspect and pressure-test to find every crack and its cause
- V-cut structural cracks and clean them out fully
- Rebuild with the correct repair system for the shell type
- Reinstate the surface finish over the repair
- Refill, balance and confirm the pool holds water
A lasting crack repair starts with the cause. We check for the ground movement or structural issue behind the crack, so the fix doesn’t simply reopen a season later.
Pumps, filtration and other equipment repairs
Cracks and finishes aren’t the only reason Sandton homeowners call us. We also repair and replace the equipment that keeps a pool running properly:
- Pool pumps and motors — repaired or replaced with energy-efficient units where it makes sense
- Sand filters and multiport valves — including loose or broken valve handles, worn seals, gaskets and O-rings
- Plumbing and pipe repairs — from a cracked union to a full re-pipe around new equipment
- Pool heaters — repair and installation, whether gas, electric or heat pump
- Lighting repairs, including LED upgrades
- Automation upgrades — timers, chlorinators and saltwater systems fitted to older pools
Common water problems we also fix
Not every call-out is about a crack. We’re just as often asked to sort out:
- Cloudy water and stubborn algae growth
- pH imbalance and chloramine buildup
- Stained, chalky or faded surfaces that need resurfacing rather than patching

Cost & timeline
We diagnose first, price second — no guesswork, no repeat repairs. Cost depends on the number and severity of cracks and the finish involved, so we price only what’s actually needed. Either way, you get a clear, fair price for the work in Sandton — no surprises.
Guarantees, maintenance and response times
Every repair is guaranteed. The only exceptions are damage from natural causes — hail, storms and extreme weather — or damage caused after the fact, such as someone walking on a finish before it’s fully cured. Outside of that, if it’s a normal repair, it’s honoured.
Need help fast? We normally respond the same day or the following day, depending on how busy the schedule is. And once your pool is fixed, we offer ongoing maintenance contracts to keep it that way.
