This swimming pool in Sassafras was overdue for a full renovation.
It had been in use for years, but the old tiles were worn and unattractive.
Have a look at the transformation we completed.
This swimming pool in Sassafras was fully retiled and restored.
We worked to a wedding deadline, finishing with the pool filled and running in time.
The transformation looked stunning.
Having a swimming pool in Sassafras is no small matter. The terrain in this part of Victoria can make access and construction challenging, but the results are always worth it.
Surrounded by natural bushland, with fresh mountain air and soft natural light, Sassafras is one of those idyllic suburbs where a large swimming pool can become the centrepiece of the backyard.
The bigger the pool, the more light it captures, and for this reason alone, swimming pools look absolutely stunning no matter which tile colour or surface is chosen.
Of course, with such beautiful natural surroundings come a few extra challenges.
Swimming pools in bush areas are more prone to leaves, bark, and debris falling in from surrounding trees. Wildlife and “little critters” can also be common visitors, and the cooler winters in the Dandenong Ranges mean plenty of pool cleaning chores for homeowners. These factors make the choice of interior finish especially important.
The most reliable surface for this area is a fully tiled swimming pool interior. Unlike pebble or painted surfaces, pool tiles are far less likely to stain or develop long-term issues from organic matter dropping into the water. They are also much easier to maintain, with chemicals balancing more consistently on a tiled surface compared to plaster or pebblecrete. This makes cleaning faster, reduces running costs, and lowers the risk of stubborn algae growth over time.
For homeowners in areas like Sassafras, this translates into less maintenance and more time enjoying the pool.
This particular Sassafras pool renovation was special for our team. We had a clear deadline: the customer’s son was getting married, and the pool needed to be complete, full of water, and ready for guests before the big day. Working under that kind of timeframe required absolute dedication. Jonathan, who is second in charge, and Cristian, also one of our skilled tilers, put in every possible minute alongside me to make sure the job was not only finished on time but perfected down to the finest detail.
Together, we delivered a pool that was fully tiled, filled, and running beautifully by the wedding day.
What made this project even more rewarding was the customer herself. She was incredibly kind and supportive throughout the renovation, which made the long hours and hard work feel worthwhile. It’s always a pleasure to work with homeowners who truly appreciate the effort and craftsmanship that goes into a full swimming pool renovation.
When it comes to pool tiling services, projects like this show how a renovation can go beyond just improving appearances. Renovating an older pool offers the perfect opportunity to create your own personal resort. Because the pool already exists, you have the benefit of hindsight — you can either stay close to the original design or take the chance to create something completely different and more luxurious. Whether that means modern mosaic tiling, fresh coping and paving, or a full backyard upgrade, a professional renovation can turn an ageing pool into the highlight of the home.
Investing in a pool renovation not only restores beauty but also enhances the property’s lifestyle appeal and long-term value.
With the right choice of tiles and finishes, your pool can blend seamlessly with the natural surrounds while offering a resort-style escape for family and friends to enjoy — especially during life’s biggest celebrations.
