Pool painting in Perth
Guide price only, inc GST. Your fixed written price comes after we see your pool.
If the shell is sound and the pool just looks tired, a proper repaint is the lowest cost way back to blue.
Guide price from around $5,000 inc GST.
Painting suits pools that are
- Faded or patchy in colour
- Already painted, with the old paint mostly holding
- Free of blisters, big cracks and hollow patches
- Due for a freshen up before summer or a sale
Good paint jobs are mostly prep
Paint only lasts as long as the surface under it.
We clean, remove loose paint, fix small cracks and let the shell dry before a drop goes on.
Skipping prep is the number one reason pool paint peels early.

What affects the cost
Pool size

Weather
Paint needs dry days. Timing can shift, the price does not.

Pool water can't go down the sewer in Perth
Water Corporation does not allow domestic pool drainage or backwash into the sewer.
Ask your council how disposal works where you live. Never run it to road drains, a neighbour's place or parkland.
The water is dechlorinated first. We plan the drain-out with you before day one.
Your pool fence stays safe during the works
Pools with water over 30 cm deep need a compliant safety barrier, and councils inspect pool barriers at least every 4 years.
The barrier must stay safe while we work. We keep gates shut and the fence compliant from start to finish.
Questions people ask about this
Can any pool be painted?
Concrete and many fibreglass pools can, if the surface is sound.
Blisters, big cracks or hollow patches need fixing first, or a different option.
Why does pool paint peel?
Usually because the surface was not prepped or dried properly first.
That is why most of our time on a paint job goes into prep.
Can I change colour when repainting?
Yes. We will help you pick a colour and show how it looks with water in it.
How long until we can swim after painting?
The paint needs time to cure before refilling, then the water needs balancing.
Your written price includes a start-to-swim timeline.
What if it rains?
New surfaces need dry conditions to go on properly, so we watch the forecast closely.
If rain's coming, we hold off rather than rush it, and tell you the new date straight away.
Weather changes the timing, not your written price.
How far ahead do I need to book?
Plan the work for outside swimming season if you can. Cooler months are the best time to have the pool out of action.
Spring fills up fast as everyone wants the pool ready for summer.
