Concrete Pool Painting & Resurfacing in Auckland

Is your concrete pool showing signs of wear? Cracking, peeling paint, or faded surfaces? The Pool Savers specialises in concrete pool painting and resurfacing across Auckland, delivering a durable, high-performance finish that withstands heavy use and harsh conditions.

Whether you need a complete repaint, crack repairs, or full resurfacing, our expert team uses professional-grade Rust-Oleum 9100 epoxy coating to protect and transform your concrete pool for years to come.

Why Concrete Pools Need Professional Painting

Concrete pools are incredibly durable, but their painted or plastered surfaces need regular maintenance. Auckland's intense UV exposure, pool chemicals, and constant use create challenging conditions that eventually break down any pool coating.

Common signs your concrete pool needs repainting include:

• Peeling or flaking paint - Old coatings lose adhesion and start to lift

• Cracks in the surface - From ground movement, age, or improper installation

• Bubbling - Water gets behind the paint, causing blisters

• Chalking - A powdery, dusty surface indicating paint degradation

• Rough texture - Worn areas become uncomfortable and difficult to clean

• Staining and discolouration - Persistent marks that won't wash away

• Fading - Sun damage leaves the pool looking tired and old

Common Concrete Pool Problems We Fix

Cracking and Structural Issues

Concrete pools can develop cracks from ground movement, settling, or expansion and contraction. We properly repair all cracks before painting, using hydraulic cement and proper techniques to ensure a stable, sound surface.

Paint Delamination and Bubbling

When paint isn't properly applied or the surface isn't adequately prepared, paint can bubble and peel. This often results from:

• Poor surface preparation

• Painting over incompatible coatings

• Inadequate curing time

• Water getting behind the paint layer

Our thorough preparation process prevents these issues, ensuring your new coating bonds properly and lasts.

Paint Compatibility Problems

Not all pool paints are compatible. Epoxy paint won't properly adhere to chlorinated rubber paint, and vice versa. We identify your existing coating type and ensure proper preparation or removal before applying new coating - preventing costly failures down the line.

Surface Degradation

Over time, painted concrete surfaces naturally degrade. Chalking, roughness, and general wear make the pool look old and feel uncomfortable. Our resurfacing process completely transforms worn surfaces back to smooth, attractive finishes.

Our Concrete Pool Painting Process

1. Complete Surface Assessment

We drain your pool and thoroughly inspect the concrete for cracks, paint compatibility, and structural soundness. This ensures we address all issues before painting begins.

2. Comprehensive Surface Preparation

Proper preparation is everything. We:

• Remove all loose and failing paint with high-pressure washing

• Grind or blast surfaces as needed for optimal adhesion

• Repair all cracks with hydraulic cement

• Fix expansion joints and structural issues

• Acid etch or mechanically prepare the surface

• Clean thoroughly to remove all contaminants

3. Professional Spray Application

We spray-apply a minimum of three coats of Rust-Oleum 9100 epoxy coating. Unlike rolled-on applications that create thin, uneven coverage, our spray method delivers:

• Consistent, thick coating throughout

• No weak spots or thin areas

• Professional, smooth finish

• Maximum durability and protection

4. Proper Curing & Quality Inspection

We allow proper curing time before your pool is ready to fill. All work is backed by our industry-leading three-year warranty.

Concrete Pool vs Replastering - Which is Right for You?

While replastering is the traditional approach for concrete pools (typically every 25-30 years), professional epoxy coating offers several advantages:

• More cost-effective - Significantly less expensive than replastering

• Faster turnaround - Less downtime means more swimming time

• Durable performance - Modern epoxy coatings rival traditional plaster

• Smooth finish - Less algae buildup and easier maintenance

• Colour options - More flexibility than traditional plaster

We'll help you determine whether painting or replastering makes the most sense for your specific situation and budget.
