Is your pool looking tired, old, or just plain needs fixing? There’s no need to go to the expense of ripping it out and building a new one. Renovating your pool is a much more cost effective choice and you’ll end up with a pool that is as good as or even better than new. Read on for more.

Pool renovations are done when you want to update your pool to a more modern shape and design, or to repair damage or stains to your pool. There are many things that you can include in your renovation such as:

• Resurfacing the pool
• Changing the shape of the pool
• Adding a spa to your existing pool
• Putting in new filtration and sanitisation
• Replacing damaged tiles or retiling the pool
• Adding new pool lighting
• Installing a heating system

You will need to talk to your pool builder about your proposed renovation ideas to see which ones are feasible and will make the most difference to your pool.

Pool renovations are generally done by a qualified and licensed pool builder. This is important as not only are they experienced in working with all types of pools; they have the knowledge and ability to ensure that any requirements comply with the relevant building and safety regulations. Before work begins, ensure that you have a contract with your pool builder that outlines all the work that will be done, and gives you an estimated timeframe for the renovations. Don’t necessarily opt for the cheapest quote either as it is important that you are confident in and trust your pool builder.
