Swimming Pool Repair and Refurbishment
Even with proper, regular maintenance and a quality cover for your pool, our harsh Canadian climate can do a number on our exterior services over time, including the pool. And the degree of issues that pool owners commonly experience here will, of course, differ significantly from someone who lives in a milder climate like California. That’s why having professionals who completely understand the intricacies of our weather here in Ottawa, what problems frequently arise, and how they should be treated, is essential for a durable, long-lasting pool design and structure. If your pool is in desperate need of a major overhaul after the winter, or if it’s time for a few minor touch-ups to spruce up the look of your yard, our highly skilled crew has you covered.
At Benson Pools, we offer professional, high-quality pool repair services in Ottawa that you can count on, no matter what your needs entail. We’ve been proudly serving homeowners throughout Eastern Ontario, including the entire Ottawa region from Barrhaven to Gatineau, for more than half a century – and we can help you too!
When Does a Pool Need Repairs or Refurbishment?
Your swimming pool may require repair or refurb if you notice:
- Cracks or chipping in the plaster or concrete
- Loose, missing, or discoloured tiles
- Staining from algae, minerals, or rust
- Peeling or faded paint
- Uneven pool coping or surface damage
- Leaks or poor water circulation
- A dated or worn-out appearance
If your pool is showing any of these signs, a professional inspection and timely repair can improve its appearance, increase your home’s resale value, and ensure that you and your family can safely enjoy the pool for years to come.
Refurbs or Pool Repair Options
Whether your poolscape needs retiling and new plaster, acid washing along the concrete surfaces, a fresh coat of paint or epoxy, sandblasting, or a complete backyard makeover, you can trust our pool experts to get it done with ease.
If you want to breathe new life back into your pool and backyard landscape, we can ensure they’re in tip-top shape before the opening season arrives. We specialize in refurbishing and renovating older, existing pool structures, which is why residents turn to us when they want superior workmanship and the best expertise. Our crew always works closely with our clients to guide them through the entire process from concept to construction to completion until they are 100% satisfied with the final look.
When you’re considering refurbs or repairs, here are our most popular options:
Acid Washing, Sandblasting & Painting
Our heavy-duty cleaning services will remove mildew stains, rust marks, calcium deposits, and more from plaster surfaces. Repainting and epoxy are available too.
- Acid washing removes a very thin super layer of the plaster, revealing a cleaner plaster underneath. The process uses a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid to remove tough stains, algae, and mineral deposits, restoring a fresh look to the pool’s surface.
- Sandblasting uses high-pressure air to propel abrasive materials, such as sand, to remove old paint or damaged surface layers in preparation for refinishing.
- Painting and epoxy coatings provide a protective layer that improves aesthetics and extends the lifespan of pool surfaces. These treatments are often needed every few years, especially for older pools with visible staining or surface deterioration.
Pool Coping, Ceramic Tile & Plastering
Need new tiles or plaster? We specialize in these skills and deliver the best quality work.
- Pool coping is the edge or cap at the top of a swimming pool’s shell, which serves as a barrier between the pool and the surrounding deck or yard. Replacing old or damaged coping can improve the pool’s safety and modernize its look.
- Ceramic tile replacement services address cracked or outdated tiles, restoring a fresh, polished appearance to your pool and the poolside.
- Plastering is an essential step in resurfacing a pool, effectively sealing and smoothing the pool’s interior. Over time, plaster can become rough, stained, or cracked, requiring replastering.
