Pool crack and leak repairs in Perth
Guide price only, inc GST. Your fixed written price comes after we see your pool.
If your pool is cracking or losing more water than the weather explains, we find where it is coming from and fix it properly.
Repairs are quoted after a look, with a fixed written price.
Signs of a crack or leak
- Water level dropping faster than usual in mild weather
- Cracks in the render, shell or around fittings
- Soggy patches of lawn or paving near the pool
- Tiles lifting or cracking along a line
- You are topping up far more often than before
Tell us what has changed
Tell us when you first noticed the water level changing and whether you can see any cracks.
We look at the problem before recommending a repair. A photo helps us work out what to check in person.
Do not empty the pool yourself. We plan any drain-out with you.

An empty pool can lift out of the ground
Where groundwater is high, emptying a pool can cause it to lift, or "pop".
That's why we never just pull the plug. Drain-outs are planned around your pool and your block.
Permits depend on the work
Whether a renovation needs a building permit depends on what is being done.
Check with your council before structural changes or barrier changes. We tell you early if your job heads that way.
Electrical bonding is a separate trade
Electrical bonding near pools is done by a licensed electrician.
If your job touches anything electrical, we flag it in writing before work starts.
Questions people ask about this
How do I know whether the pool needs a leak repair?
Tell us what has changed and send photos of any visible damage when we reply.
We check the cause before recommending a repair, rather than guessing from the water level alone.
Are hairline cracks a worry?
Many are only in the surface layer, but they can let water in behind it.
Send photos and we will tell you whether it needs fixing now.
Do you need to empty the pool to fix a crack?
Many crack repairs need a dry surface, so yes, often.
We plan the drain-out with you and dechlorinate first.
Will the repair be visible?
A patch can show a slight colour change.
If that bothers you, we can price a resurface over the repair.
Why can't you give a price straight away?
Cracks and leaks vary a lot. We need to see where it is and how far it goes.
You get a fixed written price before any work.
Do I need council approval?
It depends on the work. A new surface on its own is different to changing the structure or the pool fence.
Check with your council before structural changes or barrier changes.
We'll tell you if anything in your job is likely to need that conversation.
