A. A fibreglass (GRP) pool lining is a seamless, waterproof layer applied directly to the inside surface of a pool. We laminate multiple layers of fibreglass and resin, then finish with a durable topcoat designed to handle constant water exposure and chemicals. The result is a strong, smooth, easy-to-clean finish that lasts for decades. Unlike tiles or paint, there are no joints to crack or grout to fail — meaning fewer leaks and much easier pool upkeep.
A. Costs vary depending on pool size, access, condition and how much preparation is required. Because every pool is different, the best way to know is to get in touch for a free, individual quote. We inspect (or quote from photos), explain what needs doing and provide a fixed price with no hidden extras. While GRP can cost more upfront than paint or liner replacement, it dramatically reduces maintenance costs over the life of the pool.
A. Not always. In many cases, fibreglass can be applied directly over tiles once the surface has been thoroughly cleaned, abraded and stabilised. Loose tiles are removed and filled, grout lines are flattened and the pool is prepared for bonding. This reduces waste and keeps project time down. If the tile bed is unstable or hollow, full removal might be recommended — we assess this during your survey.
A. Yes — fibreglass is highly resistant to chlorine, bromine, saltwater systems and most common pool chemicals. The smooth gel-coat surface also reduces algae and staining, making it simpler to keep water balanced and crystal clear. Many clients choose GRP specifically because it reduces long-term treatment costs and makes pool care easier.
A. Very little. The smooth, non-porous finish makes cleaning simple — algae has nowhere to cling and there are no grout lines to scrub. Routine brushing, balanced water chemistry and normal filtration are usually all that’s required. If the topcoat becomes damaged from impact or overexposure, it can be repaired locally without relining the whole pool — another key advantage over tiles.
A. Yes — if an existing fibreglass finish is faded, blistered or damaged, we can repair isolated areas or apply a full new laminate over the top. Many older linings can be rejuvenated without removing the previous system. We assess condition during your survey and explain whether repair or full relining offers the best long-term value.
A. A professionally installed fibreglass lining typically lasts 20–30 years, and often far longer with proper care. GRP is incredibly strong, chemically resistant and flexible enough to handle temperature changes without cracking. Most failures seen in older pools are linked to poor surface prep or shortcuts — not the material itself. Our process ensures your lining bonds correctly from day one, giving your pool long-term protection and peace of mind.
A. Absolutely — GRP is one of the best solutions for refurbishing tired or leaking swimming pools. We repair cracks, seal weak points and create a new seamless barrier over the existing surface. Many of our projects are pools suffering from leaks, flaking paint, loose tiles or structural movement. Once lined, the pool becomes watertight, durable and far easier to maintain than before.
A. Yes — GRP performs brilliantly indoors, outdoors and even partially submerged water features. The system is unaffected by UV, chemicals, frost or heat, and it does not degrade under sunlight like some liners or paints. Whether your pool is heated, covered, chlorinated or saltwater, GRP provides lasting protection and a professional finish.
A. Most domestic pools are lined within 5–10 days, depending on size, access, weather and preparation requirements. Outdoor pools are weather dependent because resins need dry conditions and certain temperatures to cure. We manage scheduling carefully and keep you updated every step of the way. Once cured, the pool can be refilled and enjoyed — no long downtime.
A. Yes — GRP bonds to most stable substrates once properly prepared, including concrete shells, rendered masonry, blockwork and many older waterproofing systems. The key is surface preparation: we clean, grind, stabilise and prime the pool before applying the fibreglass laminate. If structural cracks exist, we repair and reinforce them as part of the process. Once complete, your pool becomes one seamless waterproof unit.
A. Yes — we install and refurbish GRP swimming pools across Kent including Ashford, Maidstone, Canterbury, Folkestone, Dover, Sittingbourne, Medway, Tunbridge Wells, Thanet and surrounding towns and villages. We also work on private homes, holiday lets and commercial leisure facilities. If you’re unsure whether we cover your area, get in touch — we can often quote from measurements and photos before visiting.
