Services
At Sychron Pools we build new pools, renovate and alter existing ones, and keep them running. Below are the kinds of pools we build, and everything else we do around them.
Every site is different: slope, access, drainage, soil and how much sun the water will get. We look at all of it before recommending a shell and a finish, because the cheapest pool to build is rarely the cheapest pool to own.
We work in gunite, fibreglass lining and marbelite, and we handle the surrounds too — coping, paving, decking and the equipment. One team, one point of contact.
Pool types
Three ways to build or finish a pool — each with its own strengths.
The word “gunite” refers to the process: concrete is sprayed onto a steel-reinforced shell instead of being poured. That lets us shape steps, benches, ledges and curves to suit the garden — the most flexible option for a difficult site.
The main structure of a fibreglass pool is a single, one-piece shell made entirely of fibreglass. It is smooth, hard-wearing and quick to install — and it is also how we give an old marble pool a brand-new skin.
Marbelite is a coloured marble plaster with a cement base, used to coat concrete or gunite pool surfaces. It comes in several colours — and it is the finish we use most when a pool is being re-plastered.
Everything else
Equipment, tiling, paving and the repairs that keep a pool usable all summer.
Supply, install and replace pumps, filters and pipework — with a walk-through of how to run the system.
Cement, tile or stone coping laid level and flush, with expansion joints done properly.
Chlorinator fitted and set up so the water stays balanced with far less day-to-day work.
Waterline bands, feature walls and step details, hand-set and grouted to last.
Cracked shells, failed plaster and structural repairs — rebuilt, not patched over.
Pressure testing to find the leak, then the repair — including lifting and re-laying paving above the pipe.
Green water brought back to blue, plus regular servicing for homes, blocks of flats and B&Bs.
Pool surrounds, braai areas and garages paved or decked to finish the job off.
Service 01
From a bare slope or a small backyard, we dig, steel, shell and finish the pool on site. Concrete and gunite shells, steps, benches, ledges and light niches built to your garden.
Service 02
An old pool that leaks, stains or looks tired does not need to be demolished. We re-marbelite, re-tile and re-line pools — including converting a marble pool to fibreglass.
Service 03
Leaks found and fixed properly, pumps and filters replaced, green pools brought back to blue. Once-off call-outs or a regular service you can rely on.
How it goes
We come to you, look at the ground, the access and the drainage, and listen to how you want to use the pool. No charge, no obligation.
A clear, itemised quote covering excavation, shell, finishes, plumbing and equipment — so you know what you are paying for.
One team on site, from the first trench to the last coping tile. You get progress updates and a clean site at the end of each day.
We start the pool up, show you how to run the pump and filter, and stay contactable for balances, leaks and anything that needs a second look.
Questions
No. Consultations and written quotes are free, and you are under no obligation. We would rather walk the site with you than guess at a price.
We are based in Hout Bay and work across the Western Cape — including Constantia, Camps Bay, Bishopscourt, Blouberg, Parklands, Pinelands, Tokai, Claremont, Kuils River, Brackenfell and Zevenwacht.
Gunite (sprayed concrete) pools, fibreglass-lined pools and marbelite-finished pools. The right one depends on your ground, access and budget, and we will tell you honestly which suits your site.
Yes. A leak is found by pressure-testing the pipework and inspecting the shell and fittings, then repaired — including lifting and re-laying paving where the pipe runs underneath.
Yes. We install and replace pumps, filters, salt water chlorinators and pipework, and we will explain how to run the system before we leave.
Absolutely. Many of our jobs are once-off repairs, re-marbelites, re-tiling and pump replacements for pools that were built by someone else.
