Pool Restoration & Renovations in Durham Region

Q: What’s the difference between pool restoration and pool renovation?

Restoration focuses on fixing problems and bringing an aging pool back to reliable working condition (liners, leaks, steps, coping, plumbing). Renovation focuses on upgrades and modernizing the look and experience (lighting, equipment upgrades, automation, cosmetic refresh). Many projects include both.

Q: How do I know if my pool needs a new liner?

Common signs include fading, brittleness, wrinkles, staining at the waterline, or ongoing water loss. In Ontario, many liners last 10–15 years depending on water chemistry, sun exposure, and winter care.

Q: What upgrades make the biggest difference during a renovation?

The most impactful upgrades are often LED lighting, more efficient pumps and filtration, and automation for simpler day-to-day operation. Pairing these with a new liner or refreshed pool edge can completely change the look and feel of your backyard.

Q: Do you restore pools for Ontario’s freeze-thaw conditions?

Yes. Ontario pools deal with freeze-thaw cycles, spring runoff, and winter loads. We restore and renovate with long-term durability in mind, including proper component selection and installation practices that hold up season after season.

Q: Do you also help with water testing and ongoing maintenance after the work is done?

Yes. We offer free water testing in-store and can help with chemicals, parts, and equipment support. We also provide openings and closings and can recommend a maintenance approach that keeps your pool performing and protects warranty requirements.

RESTORATION VS. RENOVATION

What’s the Difference?

Pool Restoration focuses on repairing and renewing aging or failing components to bring your pool back to proper working condition.

Pool Renovation focuses on upgrading, modernizing, and improving the appearance, comfort, and performance of your pool.

Many projects include both.

If your pool is structurally sound but looks dated, renovation may be all you need.
If it’s leaking or failing, restoration is the first step.

We’ll help you determine the right path.

POOL RESTORATION SERVICES

Bring Your Pool Back to Life

Over time, Ontario’s freeze-thaw cycles, UV exposure, and water chemistry wear down pool components. Restoration addresses those issues properly.

Our restoration services include:

Vinyl Liner Replacement

Custom-measured liner installation
Wrinkle removal and waterline correction
Modern pattern updates
Structural inspection before install

Most vinyl liners last 10–15 years in Ontario. Replacing a failing liner prevents larger structural issues.

Leak Detection & Plumbing Repair

Pressure testing
Underground plumbing repair
Skimmer and return replacement
Sealing problem areas

Stopping water loss early prevents costly damage.

Step & Entry System Replacement

Cracked or soft step repair
Full step replacements
Updated entry systems
Safer, more comfortable access

Coping & Pool Edge Repair

Coping replacement
Liner track repair
Structural edge reinforcement

Ontario winters often cause movement at the pool edge, correcting this protects your liner and structure.

WHY RESTORE OR RENOVATE INSTEAD OF REPLACE?

Full pool replacement isn’t always necessary.

In many cases, restoration and renovation:
• Cost significantly less than rebuilding
• Extend the life of your pool 10+ years
• Minimize disruption to your yard
• Provide a fresh, updated look
• Improve safety and efficiency

If the shell and foundation are solid, upgrading the right components can deliver the performance and appearance of a new pool at a fraction of the cost.

Q: How do I know if my pool needs a new liner?

Common signs include fading, brittleness, wrinkles, staining at the waterline, or ongoing water loss. In Ontario, many liners last 10–15 years depending on water chemistry, sun exposure, and winter care.

Q: Can you find and fix pool leaks?

Yes. We diagnose leaks through inspection and testing, then repair what’s needed, including skimmers, returns, fittings, and underground plumbing. Catching leaks early helps prevent bigger structural issues and unnecessary water loss.

Q: Can I replace pool steps without replacing the liner?

Sometimes. It depends on the step style, current liner condition, and how the liner interfaces with the step system. In many cases, replacing steps and liner together delivers the best fit, finish, and long-term performance.

Q: How long does a pool restoration or renovation take?

Timelines vary based on scope. A straightforward liner replacement may take a few days, while multi-part projects (steps, coping, plumbing, equipment upgrades) may take longer. We provide a clear schedule and expectations before work begins.

Q: What upgrades make the biggest difference during a renovation?

The most impactful upgrades are often LED lighting, more efficient pumps and filtration, and automation for simpler day-to-day operation. Pairing these with a new liner or refreshed pool edge can completely change the look and feel of your backyard.

Yes. Ontario pools deal with freeze-thaw cycles, spring runoff, and winter loads. We restore and renovate with long-term durability in mind, including proper component selection and installation practices that hold up season after season.

Q: How much does pool restoration or renovation cost?

Cost depends on what your pool needs. Projects can range from smaller repairs and equipment replacements to full liner, steps, coping, plumbing, and upgrade packages. We provide clear, detailed quotes after an on-site assessment so you know exactly what’s included and why.
