NZ Pool Pebble Plaster

Renovations & Resurfacing

  1. NZ Pool Pebble Plaster
  2. Fully Tiled Pool Interiors
  3. Tiles and Copings

NZ Pool Pebble can be exposed, polished or honed

Exposed

The standard option, which most clients prefer, leaves a soft and smoothly textured surface. The pebble and glass is exposed day after plaster plaster day using high pressure water blasters.

Polished

Our polished option will give you a silky, smooth finish. We use diamond polishers the day after we plaster to give it a sleek finish and bring the plaster to life.  You will not see as much glass and stone in this more understated finish.

Honed

The honed finish is exposed on the day we plaster with high pressure water blasters and then cut back with diamond polishers to expose all of the stone and glass.  This exposes all of the brilliant coloured glass and pebble, but leaves it silky smooth to touch.

An NZ Pool Pebble finish provides

  1. A sparkling finish, it sparkles under the sun and under artificial night lights.
  2. A home-grown product; the pebble is sourced right here in New Zealand.
  3. One of the most durable and beautiful pool interior finishes on the NZ market.
  4. A wide range of stunning colours that will not fade.
  5. A low maintenance, colour fast and smooth finish which is easy to look after.
  6. Easy application; this product should nevertheless only be installed by trusted NZ Pool Industries trained pool plasterers, eg Sparkling Pools Ltd.
  7. The application of NZ Pool Pebble is unrestricted by ambient temperatures; it is able to be applied at any time of the year.
  8. Given correct and regular care, subsequent to its application, this plaster interior will protect your pool for 15-20 years – or until you want a change.

The available colour range is extensive. Colour choice has a significant effect on cost

Frequently Asked Questions About NZ Pool Pebble Plaster

Read the answers to common questions about finishes, colours and durability before you book your resurfacing.

Contact a pool expert
Trusted by Auckland pool owners since 1992.
When is resurfacing recommended?

Swimming pool resurfacing is usually recommended when the interior feels rough, looks stained, starts flaking, becomes chalky or no longer responds well to regular cleaning.

category
What is the difference between resurfacing and renovation?

Resurfacing renews the interior finish. Pool renovations can be broader, covering tile replacement, coping updates, plastering or other improvements around the pool.

category
Is refurbishment suitable for older pools?

Yes. Pool refurbishment is often suitable when the pool structure is still sound, but the surface, tiles or finish have become dated, worn or harder to maintain.

category
Do you work on concrete pools?

Yes. Sparkling Pools provides concrete pool refurbishment and resurfacing options for concrete swimming pools, depending on the condition of the existing interior.

category
What does concrete pool resurfacing involve?

Concrete pool resurfacing renews the interior of a concrete pool with a suitable finish, improving the surface, appearance and long-term usability.

category
Can restoration improve the look of an older pool?

Yes. Pool restoration can improve pools with visible wear, staining, rough patches or ageing materials. The right approach depends on the condition of the surface and surrounding details.

category
Does every pool need a full renovation?

No. Some pools only need resurfacing or selected finish updates. A wider swimming pool renovation may be more suitable when several areas need attention at the same time.

category
What finishes are available?

Sparkling Pools can advise on plaster, pebble, Hydrazzo and tiled finishes. Each option has its own look, feel and maintenance considerations.

category
How long does a pool renovation usually take?

The timeframe depends on the condition of the pool, the type of work being completed and the finish selected. Smaller refurbishment projects may take less time than a full renovation involving multiple stages of work.

category
How do I know which option is right for my pool?

The right option depends on the current surface, pool age, visible wear, budget and preferred finish. Sparkling Pools can assess the pool and recommend a practical pathway for resurfacing, plastering or renovation.

Full pool and spa renovation in St Mary's Bay, Auckland, including Quartzon Galaxy interior resurfacing, new tiles and copings, lighting, heat pump installation, and filtration relocation.
In November 2011, my partner and I purchased a property with a swimming pool and spa. Having never previously owned a property with pool facilities, we relied on Grant, Julia and the rest of the team at Sparkling Pools to bring us up to speed with what was required to keep the pool in order. Combined with this, some pool equipment components had been neglected by previous owners; Grant made time to come and carry out a complimentary inspection of the pool, from a holistic perspective, and to give us detailed feedback on what improvements (heating, filtration equipment, covers etc) we could make, over time, bearing our budget in mind. The pool and spa are now looked after on a regular basis by Sparkling Pools on a specific customised maintenance plan. Denis (our dedicated valet man) comes on time, on the same week-day each time, and he does a great job maintaining the pool. We love the team from Sparkling Pools and we love the service we get from them. The pool and spa always look and feel fantastic, and looking after them is one job we just never have to worry about!

A full interior renovation of a large, elegant older pool on a beautiful Kohimarama property, including new Quartzon plaster, waterline tiles, copings, and LED lighting upgrades.
Our older pool was looking incredibly worn and really needed a complete refresh to match the character of our heritage property here in New Zealand. The team completely transformed the space. The new Santorini blue plaster and updated waterline tiles breathed completely new life into the area without losing its original elegance. The upgrade to modern LED lighting means the pool looks absolutely stunning in the evenings, creating a perfect atmosphere for entertaining. The entire process was incredibly professional, and the final result perfectly complements our home.

This project comprised all the classic elements of a comprehensive pool renovation; interior resurfacing, including some engineering adjustments; renovation of tile-work; full equipment upgrades and installations; and subsequent ongoing pool maintenance contract.
Last winter, Sparkling Pools undertook the renovation of our swimming pool. Sparkling Pools did a terrific job and we were delighted with the results. SPL’s performance throughout the project was very professional. Senior management constantly checked the work at different stages and they maintained excellent communication with us throughout. We are happy to commend Sparkling Pools to other Auckland pool-owners who might be considering pool interior renovations or equipment upgrades, particularly noting their reliability, their professionalism and the obvious pride they take in their work and their products. Subsequent to the pool renovations, SPL has continued to look after our pool on a regular basis and we are very happy to have them do so. With SPL looking after our pool, it is now one aspect of property care I never have to worry about.
