What we do
Seamless fibreglass linings that seal pools for the long run
A fibreglass pool lining is a layered system of resin, glass matting and gel coat applied directly to your existing shell. The result is a single, seamless, watertight surface that stops leaks at the source and feels glass smooth underfoot.
Skynet Pools handles the full job in house. We drain the pool, strip the failed surface, repair the shell, prime, lay the fibreglass mat and finish with a high-grade gel coat in the colour of your choice. Refill, balance, hand over.
Our fibreglass lining crews work across Pretoria East, Centurion, Waterkloof, Lynnwood, Menlyn, Garsfontein, Wapadrand, Mooikloof and the surrounding suburbs every week.

Why fibreglass
The longest lasting finish you can put in a pool
Six reasons Pretoria homeowners choose a fibreglass lining over a marbelite remarble or a quick patch up.
Stops leaks for good
Seamless and fully bonded to the shell, fibreglass seals existing leaks and prevents new ones forming through cracks.
Low maintenance
The smooth gel coat resists algae, staining and chemical wear, so cleaning takes less time and chemicals last longer.
Multi-layer system
Resin, glass matting and gel coat build a thick, flexible composite that handles ground movement without cracking.
Glass-smooth feel
No grit, no rough patches, no scraped feet. The gel coat feels silky underfoot from day one.
Fast turnaround
Most fibreglass linings are completed in 4 to 8 working days. You are back in the water sooner than with traditional finishes.
Long warranty life
A properly installed fibreglass lining lasts 15 to 25 years, backed by our workmanship guarantee and material warranties.
Our process
How we line your pool with fibreglass
A clear path from drain down to first swim. You always know what stage your pool is at, who is on site and what comes next.
- 01
Free on-site visit
We meet you at your property, inspect the pool, identify leaks, weak spots and surface failure. No charge, no pressure.
- 02
Quote and colour choice
You receive a written, itemised quote and choose your gel coat colour. Approve before any work begins.
- 03
Drain and strip
The pool is drained and the failed surface is stripped back. Loose plaster and contaminants are fully removed.
- 04
Repair and prime
Cracks, voids and weak shell sections are repaired. The shell is sanded, cleaned and primed for fibreglass adhesion.
- 05
Lay matting and resin
Fibreglass matting is laid into wet resin in overlapping layers, building a strong, flexible composite over the entire shell.
- 06
Gel coat and handover
A smooth, coloured gel coat is applied as the final layer. We refill, balance the water and hand over the pool.
Pools we line
Every shape, every size
We line residential pools of every shape across Pretoria, from compact courtyard plunges to long lap pools.
Rectangular pools
Crisp, clean lines come back to life with a glass-smooth, leak-free fibreglass lining and a fresh gel coat finish.
Freeform pools
Curved, organic shapes need a flexible lining that follows every contour without joins. Fibreglass excels here.
Kidney shape
A timeless family shape that looks brand new again with a seamless fibreglass surface in your chosen colour.
L-shape pools
Multi-zone pools with shallow and deep ends are lined to a single seamless surface with no visible joins.
Plunge pools
Compact courtyard pools benefit most from a watertight fibreglass lining. New colour, new feel, no leaks.
Lap pools
Long, narrow lap pools are lined end to end so the surface is uniform from wall to wall, with no rough joins.
Gel coat colours
Pick a colour, transform the water
The fibreglass underneath gives the pool its strength, but the gel coat is what you see and live with for the next two decades. We apply marine-grade gel coats in a range of colours so you can match your home and the look you want.
Crystal white
Bright, clean and timeless. Reflects the sky and turns the water a vivid blue in Pretoria sunlight.
Lagoon blue
A deep, tropical water tone that gives the pool a natural, holiday feel year round.
Slate grey
Modern, dramatic and reflective. Pairs perfectly with stone coping and contemporary architecture.

Frequently asked
Fibreglass pool lining questions, answered
The questions Pretoria homeowners ask us most before booking a fibreglass lining.
How long does a fibreglass pool lining take to install?
A typical fibreglass lining takes 4 to 8 working days from drain down to first fill. Timing depends on pool size, shell condition and weather. We confirm a clear schedule with you before we start so you know what to expect.
What does a fibreglass pool lining actually include?
Drain down, surface strip, crack and shell repairs, primer coats, fibreglass matting, multiple resin coats, gel coat finish, refilling and water balancing. One team handles every stage so the lining bonds correctly.
How much does it cost to fibreglass a pool in Pretoria?
Pricing depends on pool size, shell condition and the gel coat colour selected. After a free on-site inspection we send a written, itemised quote so you see every line item before approving the work.
How long does a fibreglass lining last?
A correctly installed fibreglass lining typically lasts 15 to 25 years with basic care. The seamless surface resists leaks, algae and chemical wear far better than older plaster finishes.
Will a fibreglass lining stop my pool from leaking?
Yes. Fibreglass linings are seamless and fully bonded to the shell, sealing existing leaks and stopping new ones from forming through cracks or porous plaster. We pressure test the plumbing before lining so we are confident the leak is not elsewhere.
Can you fibreglass any pool, including older marbelite shells?
Yes. We line gunite, concrete and older marbelite pools across Pretoria. Where the shell needs structural repair we handle that first to make sure the new lining bonds properly and stays watertight for decades.
Is a fibreglass lining safe for kids and pets?
Yes. The cured gel coat is non-toxic, smooth and safe to swim against. There are no rough or chalky surfaces to scrape feet, paws or pool toys.
