Grafton Pool Renovation That Helped Prepare a Home for Sale
This project shows how a well-planned pool renovation can improve the presentation of a property before it goes on the market. The homeowner in Grafton wanted her fibreglass pool refreshed so the outdoor area looked clean, appealing, and ready for buyers. Coast Life Pools & Spas delivered a full surface refurbishment that improved the overall appearance without the high cost of a full re-fibreglass.

Why This Grafton Pool Needed Renovation Before the Property Sale
The pool had visible wear, and the fibreglass layer was exposed. When the team inspected the surface, it became clear that standard pool paint would not adhere properly. The paint manufacturer confirmed that applying paint directly to exposed fibreglass would lead to early failure.
With the home about to be listed, the goal was simple:
- restore the pool's appearance,
- avoid unnecessary structural work, and
- complete the job within the property sale timeline.
Project Summary

How We Refurbished the Fibreglass Pool Surface
To create a strong and clean finish without the cost of a full rebuild, the team followed a staged process.
1. Inspection and Renovation Plan
- Identified exposed fibreglass across the shell.
- Confirmed that the chosen paint system required a sealed surface.
- Recommended adding a new flow coat to create the correct foundation for painting.
2. Pool Preparation
- Emptied the pool and installed bracing to protect the structure.
- Cleaned, sanded, and prepared the entire interior surface.
3. Flow Coat Application
- Applied a new flow coat to seal the exposed fibreglass.
- Allowed it to cure fully so the surface was stable and paint-ready.
4. Priming and Final Finish
- Applied primer to support proper adhesion.
- Finished with two coats of fluoro polymer paint , producing a fresh, bright, and durable surface.
The Result: A Clean, Market-Ready Pool Area in Grafton
The completed renovation delivered a smooth and attractive interior that improved the look of the outdoor space. The fresh finish supported the property's presentation for sale and helped the pool become an asset rather than a distraction. The project was completed within three weeks, allowing the homeowner to move forward with listing the property.
