Pool repair and pool services in Rondebosch

Old houses, older pools, wet winters

Rondebosch has a long history and a large stock of older houses, many with pools added over the decades. You find everything from long concrete pools in big gardens near the university and Rondebosch Common to small pools squeezed into later subdivisions. Many have been resurfaced more than once, and some still run on original pipework laid long ago.

Rondebosch sits on the wetter side of the city, closer to the mountain, and receives considerably more winter rain than the Northern Suburbs. Wet winters raise groundwater around pools and slow down any work that needs a drained pool. Contractors here usually prefer to resurface in drier months and to check groundwater before they empty a shell.

Older pools often hide their problems in the fittings: a skimmer that has pulled away slightly from the wall, a light niche that no longer seals, or a return line that leaks at a joint under the paving.

Common pool jobs in Rondebosch

• Renovations of tired pools, often with new coping and equipment.
• Re-marbelite or fibreglass relining.
• Leak detection on old skimmers, lights and pipes.
• Rental property pools that need repair between tenants.

What to tell the contractor

Say how old the pool is if you know, the current surface, any water loss, and whether the home is owner-occupied or rented. For rentals, say who approves the quote and who gives access.
