Pool Resurfacing Logan: 9m x 5m Pebblecrete Pool Renovation in New Beith

Old pebblecrete starting to look tired? We see it all the time across Logan and Brisbane South — a perfectly good pool that has simply lost its colour, texture and sparkle. This is the story of a 9m x 5m pool in New Beith that we brought back to life with a full glass bead pebblecrete respray, fresh tile work and a completely managed renovation process.

The Project

The pool was a 9 metre by 5 metre rectangle, roughly 28 metres around the perimeter, built into a typical New Beith backyard. The original pebblecrete surface was old, faded and rough underfoot, and the coping and waterline tiles were dated and beginning to look out of place with the rest of the home. The shell itself was still sound — no leaks, no major structural issues — so the homeowner wanted a renovation that would update the look and feel without the cost of ripping the pool out and starting again.

That's a common situation in this part of Logan. A lot of pools are structurally fine but visually worn out. The right pool resurfacing job can make a 20-year-old pool look brand new and add years to its usable life.

What We Did — Step by Step

We ran this job as a fully managed renovation, which means the homeowner didn't have to organise trades, book a skip bin, or coordinate demo days. We handled the whole lot from start to finish.

First, we removed the old coping tiles and waterline tiles. The coping was chipped and weathered, and the waterline band had that old, yellowed look that pebblecrete pools often get after years of sun and chemicals. We handled the full pool coping replacement and waterline tile replacement as part of the same job, so the new edges would match the refreshed interior.

Next, we organised a 6m skip bin on site so all the removed tiles, old adhesive and general job waste could be cleared away cleanly. Renovations can get messy fast if waste isn't managed well, and we don't leave that sort of thing sitting in a client's driveway.

With the tiles stripped and the site tidy, we started on the surface. The old pebblecrete was ground back and stripped to give the new interior a solid, clean base to bond to. This is the part of the job that makes the biggest difference long term — if you don't strip the tired surface properly, the new finish won't last.

Once the pool was prepped, we resprayed the interior with a 20% glass bead pebblecrete mix. Glass bead pool resurfacing is a premium upgrade on standard pebblecrete. It gives the surface a subtle sparkle that catches the light, a smoother feel underfoot, and a more modern, up-to-date look. The glass beads also add durability, which matters in a pool that gets plenty of Queensland sun and daily use.

Before, During and After

The change was dramatic. Before the work started, the pool looked dull and dated — the surface was rough, the tiles were tired, and the whole area felt like it had been left behind while the rest of the backyard was updated.

Once the old surface was stripped back, we could see the full scope of the job. The pool was emptied, the old pebblecrete removed, and the surface prepped ready for the new glass bead mix. We also managed the removal of the old coping and waterline tiles, and organised the 6m skip bin so the site stayed clean.

After the renovation, the water looked brighter, the glass bead finish caught the light, and the new coping and waterline tiles tied the whole pool in with the home. It's a good example of what a proper pebblecrete pool renovation can do when everything is managed properly from demo to final handover.
