Pools with IBIX Polyfusion Coating
01

The Challenge

Layers of aged paint on the pool were lifting and discolouring, a sign that the coating system had broken down over time. The affected paint needed complete removal before a new lining could be installed with confidence, since building a fresh coating over failing material would not have resolved the underlying issue. The renovation depended on getting the shell back to a clean, uniform surface first.

Our Approach

BlastOff sandblasted the pool shell back to a clean, uniform substrate, stripping away the lifting and discoloured paint so the new lining had a sound surface to bond to. IBIX Polyfusion was then applied by thermal fusion, with the polymer membrane bonding directly to the shell as a continuous layer. This fused approach was selected for the combination of waterproofing, chemical resistance and long-lasting colour it offers over a conventional repaint.

The Outcome

The Te Wharau Drive pool returned to service with a continuous Polyfusion lining installed as one fused coating system, replacing the lifting and discoloured paint that had affected the shell. The renovation gives Precision Pools a waterproof, chemical-resistant finish delivered through a single coordinated sandblasting and coating scope rather than a conventional repaint.

Replacing a Lifting, Discoloured Pool Finish at Te Wharau Drive With a Single Fused Lining

At Te Wharau Drive in Greenhithe, Auckland, layers of aged paint on a Precision Pools project were lifting and discolouring, a sign that the coating system had broken down over time rather than simply weathered. Building a fresh layer over paint already failing in this way would not have solved the underlying issue, so the affected coating needed complete removal before a new lining could be installed with any confidence.

BlastOff sandblasted the shell back to a clean, uniform substrate, stripping away the lifting and discoloured paint to leave a sound surface for the next stage to bond to. IBIX Polyfusion was then applied by thermal fusion, with the polymer membrane bonding directly to the shell as one continuous layer rather than a conventional repaint. This approach was chosen for the combination of waterproofing, chemical resistance and long-lasting colour it offers over painted alternatives, all delivered through a single coordinated scope rather than repeated maintenance visits. The pool returned to service with a lining that replaces the vulnerabilities of the old paint system rather than masking them.

Pool owners and builders facing a similarly deteriorating finish, particularly where paint is lifting or discolouring rather than just fading, should treat that as a sign the coating itself needs to come off completely rather than being patched. A scoping conversation for comparable work should cover how the existing paint has failed, what condition the shell is in underneath, and whether a fused system is a realistic fit for the pool’s ongoing use and maintenance expectations. Matching the preparation method to the actual substrate condition, not just the product being installed, is what determines how the finished lining performs.

BlastOff’s pool sandblasting and Polyfusion coating service combined both stages of this renovation.
