Westlake sits below the Silvermine mountains and Ou Kaapse Weg, with the wetlands that feed Zandvlei on its lower side. We renovate pools at family homes and in estates such as Stonehurst, and we plan each job around estate rules, wet winters and the condition of the ground.
Westlake is a small suburb with a lot of variety. There are family homes on the flatter ground, newer houses in the estate on the mountain slopes, and business parks closer to the main roads. The Westlake River runs down towards the wetlands at the head of Zandvlei, and Tokai, Kirstenhof and Constantia are all a few minutes away.
For pools, that mix means no two jobs are quite the same. An estate home may have a fairly new pool that needs a repair or a colour change. An older family home may have a marbelite pool that has simply done its time. In both cases we start with the same inspection and work from what we find.
Pools in Westlake see wet winters and warm, busy summers. Both main finishes handle that well when they go onto a properly prepared shell. The choice depends on the condition of your pool, how it is used and the look you are after.
Marbelite remains a popular choice for family pools and suits a shell that is solid and watertight. We remove the old finish where it has failed, repair the cracks, renew the waterline and apply fresh marbelite. If you have been wanting a different colour, this is the time to change it.
Fibreglass is worth considering if your pool keeps going green after rain, loses water or has a rough surface the children complain about. The lining forms a sealed, smooth layer over the old shell and needs less brushing to stay clean.
A renovation is the right time to deal with everything else that is wrong with the pool. We take care of tiles, leaks, equipment and ongoing care, so the whole system is sorted in one go.
Fresh waterline tiles and mosaic details that suit both classic and modern homes.
Cracks, hollow plaster and damaged steps are fixed before the new surface goes on.
We pinpoint water loss in the shell, the fittings and the underground pipes.
We repair, service or replace pumps, filters and the plumbing that links them.
Instead of sending your pool water down the drain, we keep it in a bladder on site for reuse.
Regular servicing keeps the water balanced through wet winters and busy summers.
Book a visit if algae keeps returning after winter rain, the surface feels rough, tiles are lifting at the waterline, or you find yourself topping up far more often than you should in summer.
We cover the Southern Suburbs, including Westlake, Tokai, Kirstenhof, Constantia and Marina da Gama.
Draining is the step people think about least, and it matters a lot. When the ground around a pool is wet, water in the soil pushes up against the empty shell. On low-lying ground or after heavy winter rain, an empty pool can crack or even lift. We check conditions on site, drain at the right time and keep the pool empty only as long as the work needs.
Estates add their own planning. Most have rules about contractor hours, vehicle access and where materials and skips may stand. We get those details from you or the estate early, so the job runs without trouble for the neighbours or security.
We inspect the pool, test for leaks and check the ground conditions and access.
You get our recommendation, the scope of work and a timeline in writing.
We drain safely, store the water and repair the shell, tiles and plumbing.
The new finish goes on, the pool is refilled and we balance the water.
It can be, as long as it is done with care. We check the ground conditions first, avoid draining after heavy rain and keep the pool empty for as short a time as possible.
Yes. We follow the estate's rules on working hours, access and deliveries. Let us know the requirements when you book and we will plan the job around them.
Heavy rain dilutes the chlorine and washes in leaves and soil, so algae can take hold quickly. A rough, porous surface makes it worse, which is why many owners choose fibreglass when they renovate.
Yes, resurfacing or relining is the ideal time. We show you the colour options at the site visit and explain how each one will look in your pool.
We do. We offer regular pool maintenance in Westlake and the surrounding Southern Suburbs to keep the water balanced and the new surface in good condition.
Call us or send a few photos, and we will set up a free site visit in Westlake to quote on resurfacing, relining, leak detection or repairs.
