Pool Restoration
Cracked plaster, faded tiles, stubborn leaks or a pool that's sat empty for years? Our team restores it to better-than-new — structure, surfaces and equipment.
When Does a Pool Need Restoration?
Bring an old, tired or neglected pool back to life — resurfacing, re-tiling, leak repair and a full modern refresh.
Restoration goes beyond a one-off repair. If your pool has flaking plaster, falling tiles, persistent leaks, rough or stained surfaces, or has been left empty and green for a season or more, individual fixes aren't enough. A full restoration addresses the structure, surfaces and equipment together — common for older villas and holiday properties along the Silver Coast and Greater Lisbon, where sun, salt air and winter neglect take their toll.
Our Restoration Process
Assessment & Quote
We drain or inspect the pool, test the structure, find any leaks and map every surface that needs attention — then give you a clear, fixed scope and quote.
Repairs & Leak Sealing
We repair cracks, stabilise the shell and seal every leak so the restored pool holds water perfectly for years.
Resurfacing
We re-plaster, re-render or re-line the pool and restore the waterline for a smooth, watertight, great-looking finish.
Re-tiling & Finishes
We replace tiles, coping and edge details, matching or upgrading the look to your taste.
Equipment & Recovery
We modernise pump, filter and lighting where needed, refill, balance the water and hand back a fully swim-ready pool.

Built to Last
We use marine-grade, UV- and salt-resistant materials chosen for the Portuguese climate — quality plaster and renders, frost- and chlorine-resistant tiles, and proper waterproofing systems. The result is a restoration that survives hot summers and damp coastal winters.
The Best Time to Restore
Autumn and winter are ideal for restoration: the pool is out of use, materials cure without intense heat, and everything is ready before the first warm days of spring. Book ahead — the off-season fills up fast with owners preparing for summer.
Expert Tip
Don't keep patching a pool that loses water week after week. Repeated small repairs usually cost more over a few seasons than one proper restoration — and a restored pool is far cheaper than a rebuild.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between restoration and repair?
A repair fixes one fault — a cracked pipe or a broken pump. Restoration is a full refresh of the pool's structure, surfaces and equipment, ideal for old, leaking or long-neglected pools.
How long does a pool restoration take?
Most restorations take one to three weeks depending on size and scope — leak sealing and resurfacing need proper curing time, which we never rush.
Can you restore a pool that's been empty or green for years?
Yes. Long-neglected pools are our specialty. We assess the structure first, then restore surfaces, equipment and water quality so it's safe and beautiful again.
Do you re-tile and re-plaster?
Yes — re-plastering, re-rendering, re-lining, re-tiling and waterline restoration are all part of what we do, with materials chosen for the local climate.
Will you find and fix leaks during the restoration?
Always. Leak detection and watertight sealing are a core step, so your restored pool holds water and stops wasting it.
