Pool Renovation & Restoration Services
If your old pool is suffering from cracks, leaks, or damaged tiles, renovating it is much more affordable and faster than building a new pool. We offer comprehensive restoration services that restore your pool to its original condition or better.
Renovation prices start from 5,000 SAR for minor repairs and reach 50,000 SAR or more for complete rehabilitation.

Pool resurfacing
Resurfacing means replacing the layer the water actually touches, without rebuilding the shell beneath it. It is the most common renovation we do, and the one owners leave longest — a surface degrades slowly enough that you stop noticing until a guest asks about the stains.
A pool is ready for resurfacing when the finish is chalking on your hand, the plaster has thin patches showing the darker layer beneath, or the shell holds stains that acid washing no longer lifts. Roughness is the honest test: run a palm along the wall below the waterline. A surface that catches is a surface that has lost its seal, and it will keep costing chemicals until it is replaced.
Surfaces last less time here than the manufacturer's figures suggest. Hard water leaves scale that gets acid-washed off, and every wash takes a little of the finish with it; strong UV works on the exposed waterline band all year. Plan on the shorter end of any published lifespan.
Tile replacement
The waterline band takes the worst of it — that is where scale forms, where the sun sits, and where any movement in the structure shows first. Replacing that band alone costs a fraction of retiling a whole pool, and it is usually what an owner actually needs.
Tiles that come away in sheets are a bonding failure and mean the substrate has to be dealt with, not just the tile. Tiles cracking individually along a line usually mean structural movement, and re-tiling over that hides the cause and buys perhaps a season. We check which of the two you have before quoting, because the price and the honest advice differ completely.
Deck and surround renovation
Everything around the pool ages faster than the pool. Decking takes full sun with no water to cool it, and surface temperatures in a Saudi summer decide whether the area is usable barefoot in the afternoon at all — which makes material choice a comfort decision, not only an aesthetic one.
Deck work is also where drainage gets fixed. A surround that sends rainwater and hose runoff back toward the shell rather than away from it undermines the coping over time, and it is the kind of fault that is invisible until it is expensive. If we are lifting a deck anyway, it is the cheapest moment to correct the falls.
What ages a pool in Saudi Arabia
| Cause | Where it shows first |
|---|---|
| Hard water and scale | The waterline band. Repeated acid washing removes the scale and thins the finish each time — the actual Saudi hardness figures |
| UV exposure | Coping, deck surfaces and anything above the waterline — fading, then chalking |
| Heat cycling | Daily expansion and contraction opens hairline cracks at the corners and around fittings |
| Ground movement | Cracks running in a consistent direction rather than scattered — a structural signal, not a surface one |
| Dust loading | Filtration works harder than rated, so upgrades are often due at the same time as the surface |
Because these arrive together, renovating one element in isolation is usually false economy. If the surface has gone, the filtration is normally near the end of its service life too, and doing both while the pool is already drained costs far less than two separate projects.
