What we do
Reshape your pool to suit how you actually use it
Pool tastes change. The huge family pool that made sense ten years ago might be costing a fortune in chemicals and heating today. Or that compact pool you inherited may not be enough for the way your family swims now.
Skynet Pools resizes existing pools properly. We make oversized pools smaller, undersized pools bigger and awkward shapes more useable. The work is structural, the finish is brand new, and the pool comes out feeling like a complete renovation, not a patch up.
Our pool resizing crews work across Pretoria East, Centurion, Waterkloof, Lynnwood, Menlyn, Garsfontein, Wapadrand, Mooikloof and the surrounding suburbs every week.

Why resize
The reasons people resize their pool
Six reasons Pretoria homeowners choose to resize their pool instead of demolishing it or building a new one.
Lower running costs
A smaller pool uses less water, fewer chemicals and less electricity to filter and heat. Savings start the day it is resized.
More garden
Reduce a giant pool and reclaim lawn, paving or entertainment space. Big change to how the garden feels and works.
Family friendly depth
Reshape from a deep adult pool to a family pool with a shallower play side and a deeper swim end.
Bigger when needed
Extend a small pool for proper swimming, lap training or to handle a growing family without leaving the property.
Fresh design
Square off a tired freeform shape, add a tanning ledge, or split a pool into a spa and swim area. Anything is on the table.
One trusted crew
Excavation, steel, plumbing, electrical and finishing handled in house. No subcontractor hand-offs, no finger pointing.
Our process
How we resize 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 at your property, walk the existing pool and discuss the change, the depth and how you want to use the new pool.
- 02
Plan and quote
You receive a clear plan with new dimensions, finish options and a written, itemised quote. Approve before any work begins.
- 03
Drain and break out
The pool is drained and existing walls or sections are broken out where needed. Plumbing and lights are isolated and removed.
- 04
Structural work
New shell sections, walls or steps are built with reinforced concrete and tied into the existing shell so the structure acts as one.
- 05
Plumbing and finish
Skimmer, returns and lights are repositioned, then the entire pool is finished with marbelite, fibreglass or mosaic to your spec.
- 06
First fill and handover
We fill, balance the water, commission the equipment and hand over a working pool with a clear maintenance walkthrough.
Resizes we do
Every kind of resize
From small tweaks to full reshapes, every Skynet resize is engineered to last and finished as a single uniform pool.
Reduce length
Cut a long pool down to a more practical size. New end wall, fresh finish, less water to manage.
Reduce width
Pull in the side wall to reclaim garden space or paving. Often paired with a tanning ledge on the new wall.
Add depth
Deepen a shallow pool for proper diving or adult swimming. Structural work and a new bottom finish.
Reduce depth
Make a deep, intimidating pool family friendly with a shallower play area and a graded bottom.
Extend
Add a metre or two of length for swimming or to fit a tanning ledge, bench or step entry.
Reshape
Change a freeform pool to a rectangle, add an L-shape or split the pool into spa and swim sections.
Finishing options
A resize is the perfect time to upgrade the finish
Once the pool is drained and walls are open, refinishing is far easier and cheaper than doing it as a separate job later. Most clients use the resize as a chance to upgrade.
Marbelite
Classic plaster finish in a range of colours. Smooth, durable and easy to repair.
Fibreglass linings
Seamless, watertight and low maintenance. Perfect for resized pools where leaks must not return.
Mosaic tile
Glass and ceramic mosaic for a high-end, hand-laid finish that catches the light beautifully.

Frequently asked
Pool resizing questions, answered
The questions Pretoria homeowners ask us most before booking a pool resize.
How long does pool resizing take in Pretoria?
Most pool resizing projects take 3 to 6 weeks from drain down to first fill. Timing depends on the size change, the structural work needed, the finish and the weather. We confirm a clear schedule with you before breaking ground.
Can you make a pool smaller?
Yes. We reduce oversized pools by building a new internal wall, filling and compacting behind it and refinishing the smaller pool. Less water to heat, fewer chemicals to balance, more garden to enjoy.
Can you make a pool bigger?
Yes. We extend existing pools by excavating beyond the current shell, tying new steel into the old structure, and finishing the combined pool as one seamless surface so it looks original.
How much does pool resizing cost in Pretoria?
Pricing depends on the size change, the structural work required, the finish and site access. After a free on-site visit we send a written, itemised quote so you see every line item before approving the work.
Will my pool need a new finish after resizing?
Yes. The whole pool is refinished after resizing so the surface is uniform from end to end. Most clients use the opportunity to upgrade to fibreglass linings or fresh marbelite for a long-lasting result.
Do I need plans or council approval for pool resizing?
In some cases yes, especially for larger structural changes. We assist with plans and pool safety compliance for your municipality across Pretoria so you do not have to chase paperwork while we build.
Can I keep my existing pump and filter?
Often yes, but we resize the equipment to match the new pool volume. If your pump is now too big or too small for the resized pool we will tell you honestly so the system runs efficiently.
