Trademen Pools provides swimming pool re fiberglassing 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 assess each pool on site and quote honestly.
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.
From luxury homes in Bryanston, Hyde Park and Morningside with feature and infinity pools, we’ve worked on pools like yours throughout Sandton, so the advice you get is grounded in local experience.
Signs your fibreglass pool needs attention in Sandton
- 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
Cost & timeline
Spot crack and blister repairs are the most affordable route, while a full re-fibreglass of an average pool runs over several days depending on size, damage and colour. We quote after seeing the pool, never blind over the phone. Either way, you get a clear, fair price for the work in Sandton — no surprises.
How swimming pool re fiberglassing works with us
- 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 — Sandton
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.
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.
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.
