Pool Surface Preparation in Melbourne – Remove Old Pool Coatings

Revive Your Pool with Expert Abrasive Blasting Services

We specialise in pool surface preparation using advanced wet abrasive blasting techniques.

With over 30 years of expertise, we efficiently remove old coatings (excluding polyurethane-based coatings), plaster, and paint from concrete pools, creating the perfect clean surface for your resurfacing contractor to apply new finishes.

A well-maintained swimming pool requires proper preparation before any new finish is applied. Over time, coatings can deteriorate, leading to peeling, discoloration, and surface imperfections. Our abrasive blasting services ensure a clean, even surface for your resurfacing contractor to apply the new finish effectively.

Wet Abrasive Blasting

This method combines water with abrasive materials, making it highly effective for removing old coatings while reducing dust and environmental impact. It’s our go-to approach for concrete pool resurfacing, delivering a smooth, clean surface.

Vacuum-Assisted Blasting

Designed for sensitive environments, this technique minimises debris and waste, keeping the workspace clean and contained.

Hydro-Blasting

Using high-pressure water jets, we can precisely remove layers from delicate surfaces or areas requiring detailed attention.

Tailored Techniques

Each pool is unique. We customise our methods based on the condition of your pool, selecting the appropriate abrasives and tools to achieve optimal results.

Our Pool Surface Preparation Process

1. Coating Removal

Using controlled sandblasting, we remove 100% of old coatings down to clean concrete. This ensures optimal adhesion for whatever new finish your pool contractor will apply.

2. Dustless Blasting

Our wet blasting system eliminates 95% of dust, protecting your property and landscaping during the preparation process.

3. Ready for Your Resurfacing Contractor

Once we've completed the surface preparation, your pool will be ready for your chosen contractor to apply new plaster, pebblecrete, tiles, or other finishes.
