Common Questions

Frequently Asked

How long does pool renovation take?+
Resurfacing-only projects (retiling) take 3-4 weeks including draining, surface prep, waterproofing, retiling, refilling, and water curing. Plant room overhauls add 1-2 weeks. Full pool refurb (surface + plant + heating + automation) takes 6-8 weeks. We schedule around your usage — peak summer renos can be expedited.
My pool is leaking — can you find and fix it?+
Yes. We do leak detection using pressure testing, dye testing, and acoustic detection before quoting. Most leaks are at the structural-shell joint, the skimmer, or the plant room return lines. Once identified, repair scope is included in the renovation BOQ — no separate diagnostic fee.
Can you upgrade my pool to salt chlorination or heating?+
Yes, both are common upgrades. Salt chlorination conversion takes 1 week and includes salt cell, controller, and rebalancing. Pool heating uses heat pumps (most common) or gas heaters for larger pools. We size the heater to your pool volume and recommend optimal placement to minimise running costs.
Do you handle the NOC for pool renovation?+
Yes — included. Most pool renos require minimal NOC (just community approval for skip placement and working hours), but if you're changing pool shape or adding heating/electricity capacity, we handle DDA/Nakheel/DM submissions for you. Standard 1-2 week NOC timeline factored into project schedule.
