Pool Painting Renovations, Expectations vs Results

Swimming pool painting is a cost-effective option for renewing a pool surface and is most commonly carried out on pools that have been painted before. Our painting service includes surface preparation, patching deteriorated areas, filling undulations, addressing flaking, scaling or bubbling paint, and sanding where required. While a freshly painted pool will always look clean and dramatically improved, it is important to understand that painting cannot make an old or previously damaged surface look brand new or perfectly smooth. Pools that have had flaking, scaling, or heavy deterioration may still show surface texture, pitting, or the shape of the original surface beneath the new paint. The epoxy paint will be evenly applied and fully cover the pool, but it follows the profile of the existing surface. Epoxy pool paint is thicker than standard paint, however it is still only microns thick. This means underlying imperfections can remain visible, particularly in pools requiring extensive repairs. Pinholes may also appear in some surfaces due to tiny air pockets within the concrete. When epoxy is applied, air can rise through the liquid paint and form small bubbles. We fill and address as many of these as possible during preparation and between coats, however in some pool surfaces they may continue to reappear despite best efforts. Our priority is always to deliver the best possible result and the longest possible lifespan from the paint system. However, we cannot change the shape or condition of the original pool surface, and preparation has limits when working with paint rather than a new interior finish. Many surface imperfections become far less noticeable once the pool is filled with water, and in most cases are barely visible when swimming. This information is provided so you have realistic expectations before choosing pool painting. By proceeding, you acknowledge that minor imperfections may remain and that these are normal for painted pool renovations. If you raise any concerns, we are always happy to review them and improve areas where possible. If improvement is not possible, you understand that these outcomes are a normal part of the process. Every pool is different. Most pools experience none of these issues, some may have one, and a small number may have several. We believe in honesty, transparency, and clear communication, and we appreciate the opportunity to explain this upfront. We look forward to working with you. These limitations are not unique to our work and are encountered by every professional who paints swimming pools; we raise them upfront not to discourage you, but so you can make an informed decision and know exactly what to expect. We believe clear communication is part of doing the job properly and is the foundation of a good working relationship.

Our Pool Painting Process

  • Once empty the pool is empty we high pressure wash the entire pool surface.
  • We wash the swimming pool using hydrochloric acid.
  • We check the whole pool for any repairs that might be needed (Including to the pool tiles)
  • Repair of holes, cracks, leaks and replace missing or cracked tiles.
  • Then repeat the washing process and check the pool again.
  • We allow the pool surface to dry in preparation for the swimming pool paint application.
  • If the pool has not been previously painted we first apply a sealer to the pool surface.
  • Then we apply two coats of epoxy pool paint. (3rd coat of paint is a good idea and optional)
  • To finish we replace the swimming pool’s hydrostatic valve, and we also replace all swimming pool fittings if your current fittings are removable.
  • There is a one week drying time after painting the swimming pool. (The paint is dry in a matter of hours, but there is a 7 day allowance to set properly prior to filling with water.)
  • After the weeks drying time we return for inspection and then commence filling the pool with water.

Will painting a swimming pool before selling a home increase the value of a house?

In short, Yes. We regularly are asked to repair pools prior to the sale of a property. The most important part of selling your home with a swimming pool is that the pool doesn’t show any signs of structural damage, this is because home buyers will always look at potential expenses. We understand real estates & customers that are selling a house with a swimming pool. Throughout the years of working for customers selling a home with a pool, we have learnt various things about how your swimming pool can affect the sale of a house. When painting a pool the usual equity return is $2 for every $1 spent due to the fresh new and nothing to spend look, but equally as important is that having a good looking swimming pool normally sells your home faster.

The Fine Print

Colour charts, printed samples, and on-screen displays are a guide only. Screen settings, lighting conditions, and manufacturing variations can affect how colours appear. Actual paint colours may vary slightly from charts, samples, or between batches. While these differences are usually minimal, they are not guaranteed. Pool paint colour appearance can change significantly depending on factors such as whether the pool is empty or full, the direction of the pool, time of day, sky conditions, pool lighting, water colour, and surrounding light or shadows. These factors are outside our control. As the applicators of the paint, we can provide guidance and recommendations; however, all colour selection responsibility rests solely with the customer. By proceeding with the work, you confirm and accept full responsibility for your chosen colour. We strongly encourage final colour confirmation before painting begins. If a colour change is requested after the first or second coat, the work will restart as originally quoted. Additional charges may apply where extra coats are required to fully cover the previous colour, particularly when changing from a dark colour to a lighter one.
