Swimming pool painting is a great budget option for resurfacing swimming pools.
Normally the pools that get painted were already previously painted swimming pools.
We offer a pool painted service that can include repairs of the surface, filling in of undulations & deteriorated areas, areas where the old paint has come off, paint that is flaking/scaling or bubbling.
Customers sometimes have the expectation that the pool surface will look brand new, silky smooth or "Perfect"
The swimming pool will always look amazing after a re-paint, but the reality is that some pools, especially the swimming pools that need extensive repairs will always show imperfections throughout the surface.
Sometimes, pools that had scaling or flaking paint will show the pitted areas throughout the surface, the new pool paint will be evenly spread and the pool surface will be basically 100% covered, but what will be seen is the shape of the old surface beneath the new paint.
Pool painting is one of the most economical options to renewing a swimming pool surface, we will always do our work with the intention of having our work last as long as possible, but we cannot control the shape of the pools old surface.
Pin holes can sometimes show on the surface, this happens because there may be tiny little needle like holes in the surface that can go easily unseen prior to doing the epoxy pool painting.
When the epoxy pool paint is applied, in some cases tiny little bubble that rises to the top of the paint, this is because air rises through liquid, so these tiny bubbles can sometimes be seen, we normally fill many of these during the first coat of the painting & sometimes no matter how many times we go over the surface they can keep reappearing, this is because some pool surface types may have many pockets of air trapped within.
Like any paint, the thickness is only micro-millimetres thick, so imperfections in the old surface will normally be noticed after renovating, we will be able to patch, repair & do sanding in preparation of the pool paint, but if your swimming pool has many repairs needed, you should expect these things to show, many of the imperfections will be hidden by the paint & others will be visible, though usually almost all imperfections like lines or undulations normally disappear once the pool is filled with water.
This section is written for you so that you have a realistic expectation for your painted pool renovation.
If you decide to go ahead with our work then you understand that we will do the best work possible for your pool surface & we always look to get the best results possible, you will need to accept the results of the painting should any of these things occur, you are welcome to bring up any areas of concern and we can try and improve on it if possible, if it is not possible to improve on then you understand that these thing are normal.
Every swimming pool is different, the majority of swimming pools do not have any of these issues at all, some pools may have only one of the above mentioned, other may have all of them, this is for the few swimming pool that may have one or more of the problem areas listed above.
LPR has brought this to your attention as we believe in honesty, transparency and good communication with customers, so we hope you appreciate this information and look forward to working for you.
Two coats is the standard amount of coats that is required for a swimming pool surface, even though 3 coats of epoxy paint can help make the pool surface last longer, the cost of adding a 3rd coat is normally near 50% of the original quote total, but it can make the difference of adding another 3 years to the life of the pool surface before it will need repainting again.
Depending on your location the price can vary, in Melbourne Victoria, the cost to paint a swimming pool has a starting price of around $6,500 this can also vary depending on the size of the swimming pool and how much repair and preparation work is needed to have it ready for painting.

We can quote painting your swimming pool anytime of the year, however the right time to paint your pool is when the weather is warmer & dry, which makes it suitable for painting.
In Melbourne we start Painting swimming pools in August but sometimes due to the weather we may start in late October & usually stop around Mid-April.
Usually to paint a pool we need on average 4 days without rain and the temperature to be above 16 degrees.
How to know if a swimming pool needs re-painting
In short, Yes.
We regularly are asked to repair pools prior to the sale of a property.
The most important part of selling your home with a swimming pool is that the pool doesn't show any signs of structural damage, this is because home buyers will always look at potential expenses.
We understand real estates & customers that are selling a house with a swimming pool.
Throughout the years of working for customers selling a home with a pool, we have learnt various things about how your swimming pool can affect the sale of a house.
When painting a pool the usual equity return is $2 for every $1 spent due to the fresh new and nothing to spend look, but equally as important is that having a good looking swimming pool normally sells your home faster.
Swimming pool paint has a 2.5 Star Maintenance Rating, this means that regular maintenance is required, you can see how a painted pool is maintained here.
Premium Paint is made to order. Designer colours incur additional charges. ("CC" Custom Colours)
Premium Paint is made to order.
We do not offer premium colours when we quote, unless they are requested by the customer since they are estimated 3x the normal price of the standard colour choices and can take 6 to 8 weeks to be manufactured & delivered back to Melbourne.
If you would like to choose a premium colour please let us know far in advance prior to starting your swimming pool.
Luxapool epoxy pool paint is the most reliable and consistent paint.

Local Pool Painters is based in Dandenong Victoria, however for swimming pool painting we cover the Western Melbourne, Northern Melbourne & East Melbourne suburbs.
In some cases if you are located in the western suburbs of Melbourne, we may need to estimate the pool painting work remotely when in our peak busy periods, our online estimations are normally accurate and if the customer chooses to go ahead with the work we can visit in person and give an official quote prior to starting any work.
Colours choices on screen can be affected by the type of screen you are using & the colour settings you have to view the colour chart.
Actual colours can vary from this colour chart and in real life from batch to batch, this is due to the manufacturing process, the difference in real life settings is almost always not noticeable but not guaranteed.
Colour samples are a general guide, both the printed samples and digital chart are produced by the manufacturer to be as accurate as possible, Local Pool Renovations is not responsible for any differences in colour provided by the sellers of the paint.
Pool Paint colours generally have a similar undertone to the colour chart we display but can vary in tone, brightness or darkness.
Paint colours can look very different depending upon; The direction of the swimming pool, if the pool is empty or full of water, the colour of the sky, the time of day, the tone of the pool lighting, the colour of the actual pool water and the amount of light or shadows entering the pool, all these factors can have an effect of how we perceive the colour.
Customers accept full responsibility of their colour choice, as the applicators of this paint product we can make suggestions to help you decide, but you as the customer make the final confirmation and has the final say on which pool paint colour you want applied in the swimming pool.
It’s ok to change your mind, we prefer that you change your mind before painting the swimming pool, should you change your mind about your chosen colour choice after the first or second coating, we restart the work as originally quoted and bring the new colour you have chosen for your swimming pool, sometimes an additional charge may apply for a third coat in order to completly cover the original colour (Usually if you are painting with a light colour over a dark one.)
