How long does pool painting last in Melbourne's climate?

Quality epoxy pool paint typically lasts 7-10 years in Melbourne conditions when professionally applied. Factors affecting longevity include proper surface preparation, water chemistry maintenance, and exposure to harsh weather. We use premium Australian-certified pool paints designed for our climate, and provide detailed care instructions to maximise your investment.

What's the difference between pool painting and resurfacing?

Pool painting involves applying epoxy or chlorinated rubber paint over existing sound surfaces, ideal for pools with minor wear. Resurfacing is more comprehensive—we strip back to bare concrete, repair cracks and damage, then apply new coatings or render. Resurfacing is recommended when there's significant deterioration, multiple cracks, or when the existing surface is beyond simple repainting.

How long does the pool painting process take?

A standard residential pool painting project takes 5-7 days, weather dependent. This includes draining, surface preparation, acid washing or water blasting, repairs, primer application, and two coats of finish paint with drying time between coats. Resurfacing projects take 10-14 days. We'll provide a detailed timeline during your free consultation.

Can you paint my pool in winter?

Yes! Winter (June-August) is actually ideal for pool painting in Melbourne. Cooler temperatures mean better paint curing, less water evaporation during preparation, and you're not missing summer swimming time. We work year-round and can schedule your project to have your pool ready for the warmer months.

Do I need to empty my pool for painting?

Yes, complete drainage is essential for proper surface preparation, inspection, and paint application. We handle the entire draining process safely and in compliance with Melbourne Water regulations. After painting and curing, we'll advise on the best refilling and water balancing procedures.

Should I replace waterline tiles when repainting my pool?

If your waterline tiles are cracked, missing, or dated, it's cost-effective to replace them during a repaint. You've already drained the pool and exposed the area—it's the perfect time. Fresh tiles dramatically enhance your pool's appearance and protect the waterline from staining and calcium buildup.

How far in advance should I book pool renovation work?

Peak season (September-December) books out 4-8 weeks in advance. Winter months (June-August) offer shorter lead times of 1-3 weeks and are ideal for renovations. We recommend booking early for summer readiness, but we always accommodate emergency repairs and urgent projects where possible.

How much does pool painting cost in Melbourne's Western Suburbs?

Standard residential pool painting ranges from $3,500-$7,000 depending on pool size, surface condition, repairs needed, and paint quality selected. Complete resurfacing projects range from $8,000-$18,000. We provide free, no-obligation on-site quotes with detailed breakdowns and transparent pricing—no hidden costs.

What tile options are available for Melbourne pools?

We offer glass mosaics, porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone tiles suitable for Australian pool conditions. Glass mosaics are popular for their vibrant colours and durability, while porcelain offers excellent frost resistance for Melbourne's cooler months. We'll help you select tiles that complement your pool's style and withstand our climate.

Lucas Foakes

Footscray

We engaged them to conduct our pre-purchase pool safety inspection when buying our first home with a pool. The inspector took time to explain everything about pool compliance, walked us through what to look for, and provided a comprehensive report. Now they maintain our pool fortnightly, and it's one less thing we need to worry about. Outstanding pool service!
