What we do
Full pool renovations that bring tired pools back to life
Pools age. Plaster wears, coping cracks, mosaic tiles fall, lights stop working, pumps die, plumbing leaks. A renovation handles all of it in one coordinated project so you end up with a pool that looks new and works properly, instead of a year of separate call-outs.
Skynet Pools handles the whole renovation in house. Coping, waterline tiling, surface refinishing, lights, plumbing, equipment, the lot. We plan it, build it and finish it with the same crew from start to handover.
Our pool renovation crews work across Pretoria East, Centurion, Waterkloof, Lynnwood, Menlyn, Garsfontein, Wapadrand, Mooikloof and the surrounding suburbs every week.

Why renovate
What a proper renovation gives you
Six reasons Pretoria homeowners choose to renovate their existing pool instead of demolishing it or living with a tired one.
Cheaper than rebuilding
Renovating an existing pool typically costs a fraction of a new build. The shell is already there, we just bring it back to life.
Modern look
New coping, fresh waterline tile and a current finish update your pool to today's design language without changing the footprint.
Stops leaks
Renovations are the perfect opportunity to seal the shell with fibreglass and stop years of expensive water and chemical loss.
Better equipment
Old pumps and filters get swapped for energy efficient kit so the renovated pool runs cheaper as well as looking better.
One trusted crew
Civil work, tiling, finishing, plumbing and electrical handled in house. No subcontractor hand-offs, no finger pointing.
Aftercare included
Once renovated, we offer weekly maintenance, repairs and ongoing care, the same number, the same team.
Our process
How we renovate your pool
A clear path from first call 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 on site, walk the pool with you, identify everything that needs work and listen to what you want changed.
- 02
Plan and quote
You receive a clear plan and a written, itemised quote covering every part of the renovation. Approve before any work begins.
- 03
Drain and strip
The pool is drained safely. Old finishes, failed tiling and broken coping are removed and prepped for the new work.
- 04
Civil and structural
Cracks, voids and weak shell sections are repaired. New coping, tiling beds and pipework changes are completed first.
- 05
Tile, finish and equipment
Waterline tile, surface finish, lights and any new pump or filter are installed in the right order so nothing is damaged later.
- 06
Fill and handover
We fill, balance the water, commission the equipment and walk you through how to look after your renovated pool.
What we renovate
Every part of the pool
From a single coping replacement to a complete top-to-bottom renovation, we tailor the scope to your pool and your budget.
New coping
Replace cracked, lifted or dated coping with crisp, modern stone, paver or precast coping that ties the pool to the deck.
Waterline tiling
Mosaic, glass and porcelain waterline tile bands that protect the surface and give the pool a high-end edge.
Surface refinish
Marbelite, fibreglass or full mosaic tile finishes applied over a properly prepped shell.
Lights and electrics
Old halogen lights swapped for safe, efficient LED lights with new niches and clean wiring.
Plumbing upgrades
Failing skimmer, returns and suction lines are replaced or rerouted so flow and pressure are restored.
Equipment upgrades
New variable-speed pumps, multiport valves and filters fitted in a tidy, properly wired pump room.
Finishing options
The finishes that change everything
Once the structural work is sorted, the finishes are what you see. Coping, waterline tile and the pool surface together set the tone for the entire backyard.
Mosaic tile
Glass and ceramic mosaic for high-end, hand-laid finishes that catch the light beautifully.
Fibreglass linings
Seamless, watertight, low-maintenance finish that stops future leaks and lasts decades.
Marbelite
Classic plaster finish in a range of colours. Smooth, durable and easy to repair.

Frequently asked
Pool renovation questions, answered
The questions Pretoria homeowners ask us most before booking a pool renovation.
How long does a pool renovation take in Pretoria?
A typical pool renovation takes 2 to 5 weeks from drain down to first fill, depending on the scope of work, the finish chosen and the weather. We confirm a clear schedule with you before starting.
What does a pool renovation include?
Renovations can include coping, waterline tiling, surface resurfacing, new lights, repaired or replaced plumbing, new pump, filter, multiport valve and any structural repairs the pool needs. You choose the scope.
How much does a pool renovation cost in Pretoria?
Pricing depends entirely on what is being done. After a free site visit we send a written, itemised quote with options so you can pick the renovation scope that fits your budget and your priorities.
Should I renovate or build a new pool?
In most cases renovating an existing pool is significantly cheaper and faster than a new build. The shell is already there, so we focus on the parts that have failed. We will tell you honestly when a pool is past saving and a new build makes more sense.
Do you handle the full project, or just one part?
Both. We can renovate the full pool top to bottom or just one element such as coping, tiling or surface. One trusted in-house team for whatever scope you choose, no third-party hand-offs.
Do you offer a warranty on pool renovations?
Yes. Our workmanship is guaranteed and all materials carry their manufacturer warranties. We also offer aftercare and weekly maintenance plans to protect your renovated pool for years to come.
Can the pool be used during the renovation?
No. The pool is drained and out of action during the work. We keep timelines tight so you are back in the water as quickly as possible, and we plan around school holidays and big events where we can.
