What Is Pool Resurfacing?
Pool resurfacing is the process of removing old, degraded paint and applying a fresh protective coating to your pool shell. Over time, pool surfaces — especially concrete and marblesheen — develop peeling paint, staining, fading, rough patches and cracks. Left untreated, these issues get worse quickly and can lead to costly structural damage.
Resurfacing solves all of these problems in a single process: prep, repair and recoat. When done properly, it restores waterproofing, improves appearance, and extends the life of your pool by up to a decade.
At Gold Coast Pool Resurfacing, we specialise in LuxaPool epoxy — Australia's leading pool paint product, proven in Queensland conditions.
Pool Painting & Epoxy Coating
Our core service is LuxaPool epoxy pool painting — applied as a 2-coat or 3-coat system depending on your budget and goals. LuxaPool is a two-pack epoxy enamel specifically designed for concrete and marblesheen pools, offering superior adhesion and long-lasting results compared to older rubber or water-based paints.
- 2-coat Standard — 5–7 year lifespan, from $4,000
- 3-coat Premium — 8–10 year lifespan, from $5,000
- 25+ LuxaPool colours available
- Designer colour range available for premium finishes
- Gold Coast and Brisbane service area
We apply every coat by hand-roller for consistent coverage and cure each layer fully before proceeding. We do not rush the process — your finish lasts years longer because of it.
Pool Crack Repair
Cracks in your pool shell aren't just cosmetic — they allow water infiltration that accelerates structural degradation. Any crack that isn't properly repaired before resurfacing will show through the new finish within months.
We repair surface cracks, shrinkage cracks and chips using flexible waterproof compounds rated for pool use. Structural cracks (where the shell has moved) are assessed and treated appropriately before any coating is applied.
- Surface & shrinkage crack repair
- Chip and spalling repair
- Structural crack assessment
- Waterproof sealant compounds

Surface Preparation
This is the step most pool painters skip — and it's why so many repaints fail early. Correct surface preparation is what separates a 2-year finish from a 10-year finish.
Our preparation process includes: draining the pool, high-pressure washing, phosphoric acid washing to neutralise alkalinity and open the surface profile, mechanical sanding of glossy areas, and full crack repair. Only once the surface is fully clean, dry and mechanically sound do we apply any coating.
- Drain and high-pressure wash
- Full acid wash (concrete & marblesheen)
- Mechanical sanding of shiny areas
- Crack and chip repair
- Moisture test before painting
What We Can Resurface
Concrete Pools
The most common pool type on the Gold Coast. Concrete pools respond excellently to LuxaPool epoxy — when properly prepped, the finish bonds to the porous surface and lasts years.
Marblesheen Pools
Marblesheen surfaces are rougher than bare concrete and require thorough acid washing and sanding before painting. We have extensive experience with marblesheen pools across the Gold Coast.
Fibreglass Pools
Fibreglass pools can be painted with LuxaPool when the gelcoat has faded, oxidised or begun to chalk. Proper adhesion prep is critical — we use a dedicated fibreglass primer before any top coat.
