Converting Your Concrete Pool to Fibreglass
Converting a concrete pool to a fibreglass one is an intricate process that can breathe new life into your old pool, making it more durable, easier to maintain, and aesthetically pleasing. Pools 101 can convert your concrete pool in five simple steps.
- Initial Assessment and Planning
We inspect the concrete pool for structural integrity, looking for cracks, leaks, or other damage that could affect the conversion.
- Concrete Pool Preparation
The team drains and thoroughly cleans the pool to remove algae, bacteria, and debris. Repair any cracks or rough areas to create a smooth, solid base.
- Fiberglass Application
We prime the surface with Ultratec® Vinyl Ester Primer for excellent adhesion, then apply fibreglass matting and Ultratec® Vinyl Ester Tie Layer Resin. Repeat until the required thickness is reached, creating a durable corrosion barrier.
- Aquaguard Fill-coat and Topcoat
Use Fibretech Vinyl Ester Fillcoat for added opacity and to prevent fibre wicking. Sand again, then finish with Aquaguard® Fibretech Topcoat for enhanced performance and colour retention.
- Application of Pools 101 Non-Slip Coating and Quality Checks
Pools 101 applies a non-slip gelcoat for UV, chemical, and wear protection, plus a safe, textured finish. Finally, inspect for leaks, uneven coatings, or other imperfections to ensure a high-quality result.

Durability and Chemical Resistance
Aquaguard® Fibretech fibreglass is both tough and chemically resistant, making it ideal for concrete pool resurfacing.
Structural Integrity and Flexibility
Fibreglass expands and contracts with changing temperatures, preventing cracks and leaks and keeping your pool in prime condition.
Practicality and Cost-effectiveness
Fibreglass surfaces need minimal maintenance and can be applied quickly, reducing both downtime and overall costs.
Smooth and Stain-resistant Gelcoat Surface
The gelcoat finish resists stains and is simple to clean, ensuring your pool stays looking its best with minimal effort.
Non-porous Coating for Easy Maintenance
A non-porous surface discourages algae growth and other build-up, so you can spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your pool.

Pools 101 Anti-Slip Coating
PAt pools 101, we understand the importance of safety. We only apply appropriate gelcoat materials using a specific spray gun with air pressure manipulation to create the non-slip texture. This enhances the aesthetics of your pool and significantly reduces the risk of grazing or cutting a person’s skin, providing a secure environment for your family.
Other Non-Slip Products
Other resurfacing companies hand-sprinkle sand in gel coats to create a non-slip surface. The pattern is irregular and uneven. The texture is rough and coarse enough to graze/cut a person’s skin, especially kids, as their skin tends to become soft when swimming for long periods.
Warranty on Pool Resurfacing
At Pools 101, we’re committed to providing the highest quality products and services. We proudly offer a six-year structural warranty on all fibreglass structures we install and a one-year cosmetic/surface warranty on all resurfaced pools. We stand behind our work and want you to have peace of mind knowing that we’re here to support you even after the project is complete.

FAQ
How long before I can get a quote, and what does it include?
We will email you a quote within 24-48 hours after the inspection, or without a site visit if you provide photos and dimensions of the pool. The quote includes repair or resurfacing costs, work schedule, and terms. It is valid for 30 days. Quotes within the Perth Metro Area are free; contact us for outside areas.
Should I empty my concrete pool before you resurface it?
No. Emptying your concrete pool for an extended period may cause damage to the pool’s surface. It is expected that when the pool is drained or partially drained and weather exposed, the plaster is subject to a certain level and degree of temperature and humidity, and the plaster temperature changes too much too fast as it will expand and contract at a different rate than the substrate/base create. This causes the plaster to detach and loosens the bond between the substrate and plaster. And consequently, the spalling, bubbles and cracks will develop on the pool’s surface.
How long is the resurfacing process?
The pool will be decommissioned for approximately eight days. Weather conditions may affect work accuracy, as dry conditions are required in fibreglass and gel-coat works.
What are your payment terms?
10% -Upon confirmation of the work commencement date.
40% -Upon completion of stage 1.
50% -Upon completing the full resurfacing.
