Pools with IBIX Polyfusion Coating
01

The Challenge

The existing pool coating had failed and needed to be completely removed before a new lining could go on, rather than being patched or coated over. Applying Polyfusion successfully depends on a clean, sound substrate, so the condition of the old coating made thorough removal a necessary first step ahead of the new lining.

Our Approach

BlastOff sandblasted the pool shell to remove the failed paint and verify a clean, sound substrate before work continued. IBIX Polyfusion was then applied by thermal fusion across the entire pool, carried out by a certified IBIX applicator to form a continuous waterproof lining bonded to the prepared shell. Verifying the substrate before coating gave the applicator a dependable base to work from across the whole pool interior.

The Outcome

The Te Wharau Drive pool was fitted with a Polyfusion lining installed by a certified IBIX applicator, replacing the coating that had previously failed. The finished lining provides long-term waterproof protection across the pool shell, giving the owners a renewed pool interior prepared and coated as one continuous process.

Verifying the Shell Before Sealing It In: A Certified Polyfusion Reline on Te Wharau Drive

At a property on Te Wharau Drive in Greenhithe, the pool’s existing coating had failed to the point where patching it over was not a sensible option, and the owners needed the shell brought back to a genuinely sound base before any new lining could be trusted to last.

BlastOff sandblasted the pool shell to strip the failed paint away completely, then verified the substrate was clean and sound before work continued, rather than moving straight from blasting to coating on assumption alone. IBIX Polyfusion was then applied by thermal fusion across the entire pool, carried out by a certified IBIX applicator to form one continuous waterproof lining bonded to the prepared shell.

That verification step between blasting and coating is worth flagging for anyone considering a similar renovation, since it is the point where problems hiding under old paint, such as inconsistent surface profile or leftover contamination, actually get caught before they are sealed in under a new lining. Skipping straight to coating on a freshly blasted shell can look efficient, but it relies on the substrate being uniformly ready, which is rarely guaranteed on a pool that has been through one coating failure already. Having a certified applicator complete the Polyfusion stage also matters for a product that depends on correct heat fusion technique to bond properly rather than simply sitting on the surface.

The finished result at Te Wharau Drive gives the owners a continuous lining intended to provide long term waterproof protection across the pool shell, replacing a coating that had already let them down once. Property owners facing early signs of coating failure should treat substrate verification as a required step, not an optional extra, when scoping pool sandblasting and Polyfusion relining work.
