Tyger Valley is busy, and a shared pool gets used hard by a lot of people. We resurface, reline and repair communal pools in complexes and estates, as well as private pools at family homes, and we plan the work so residents are put out as little as possible.
Around Tyger Valley Centre, Willowbridge and the Tyger Waterfront, a lot of the housing is apartments, townhouse complexes and security estates, many with a communal pool. Alongside them are freestanding family homes with pools of their own.
A communal pool gets far more swimmers than a home pool, plus long pump hours and plenty of sunscreen in the water. Over time that wears the surface, marks the waterline and pushes the equipment hard. Renovating it also means working with trustees, a managing agent and residents who still need to get in and out of the complex.
Whether a shared pool should be re-marbelited or relined depends on the shell, the money the body corporate has set aside and how much upkeep the complex wants to carry. We give trustees a clear written recommendation they can table at a meeting.
Marbelite remains a practical choice for a sound concrete pool with a worn surface. We remove loose and rough plaster, repair the cracks and apply a new coat that is smooth underfoot for children and adults alike. A light finish keeps the water bright and makes it easy to see the floor.
For a pool that is swum in every day through summer, a fibreglass lining has real advantages. It is non-porous, so algae struggles to take hold and the water is easier to keep balanced, and it stands up well to heavy use. It also seals older shells that have started losing water.
We look after the whole pool, not just the surface. Repairs, plumbing, tiling and equipment are handled in one project, with one point of contact for the trustees or homeowner.
Tiles that keep the waterline clean and make the steps easy to see.
Repairs to the shell and fittings before small faults turn into a big bill.
We track down water loss so the body corporate is not paying for a hidden leak.
Equipment for a shared pool runs long hours and has to be reliable.
Where the complex has room, we hold the pool water in a bladder and put it back afterwards.
Regular servicing keeps a renovated communal pool clear through the busy months.
Look out for residents complaining about rough steps or scraped feet, a water bill that has crept up, or algae that comes back within days of a shock dose.
We work throughout the Northern Suburbs, including Tyger Valley, Bellville, Welgemoed, Durbanville and Loevenstein.
Access is the first thing to sort out. Most complexes have gate control, visitor parking rules and limited space, so we agree with the managing agent where the team parks, where materials are stored and how rubble leaves the property. The work area around the pool is closed off so children stay clear.
Timing comes next. A communal pool that is closed in December makes for a lot of unhappy residents, so we suggest booking the work for winter or early spring. That also gives the trustees time to get approval and let owners know before we start.
We inspect the pool and pump room and test for leaks, on a date that suits the complex.
Trustees or owners get a written quote with the reasons for the finish we recommend.
We drain, repair the shell and plumbing, and apply marbelite or fibreglass.
We refill, balance the water, check the equipment and hand the pool back to residents.
Yes. We can meet the trustees or managing agent on site, provide a written quote for their meeting and agree the access rules before work begins.
Most resurfacing or relining jobs keep a pool closed for around two to three weeks, including curing and refilling. We give the complex a timeline upfront so residents can be told well in advance.
Fibreglass is non-porous and hard-wearing, so it copes well with heavy use and is easier to keep clean. Marbelite costs less upfront and is still a good option for a sound shell. We explain both in the quote.
Yes. We follow the complex rules on parking, gate access and working hours, and keep the area around the pool closed off while we work.
Yes. We resurface, reline and repair private pools at freestanding homes in and around Tyger Valley. You get the same free site visit and written quote.
