Why Pools Crack—and How We Fix Them

Pool cracks can occur for a variety of reasons, including:


  • Ground Movement: Drought conditions or seismic activity (earthquakes) can shift the soil beneath your pool, leading to structural stress.
  • Improper Draining: Draining a pool incorrectly can cause hydrostatic pressure changes that damage the shell.
  • Structural Deficiencies: Poor construction or aging materials can weaken the pool over time.
  • Material Fatigue: Plaster, concrete, gunite, and even fiberglass can degrade with age and exposure.


These cracks often result in water loss, surface damage, and long-term structural issues. Fortunately, fiberglass is one of the most effective materials for repairing and reinforcing damaged pools.

The Power of Fiberglass in Pool Repair

Fiberglass is known for its:


  • Durability: Resistant to cracking, blistering, and chemical wear.
  • Flexibility: Adapts to various pool shapes and substrates.
  • Longevity: Offers decades of performance with minimal maintenance.
  • Smooth Finish: Creates a non-porous surface that resists algae and staining.
  • Waterproofing: Seals leaks and prevents future water loss.


Whether your pool was originally built with fiberglass or resurfaced with it later, our repair techniques are designed to restore its strength and appearance.

Our fiberglass pool repair services cover a wide range of issues, including:

Repairs of Fiberglass Liners Installed by Other Contractors

Not all fiberglass installations are created equal. If your pool was resurfaced by another contractor and is now showing signs of failure, we can help. We assess the condition of the liner, identify problem areas, and perform targeted repairs that restore performance and appearance.

Repair Delamination of an Old Fiberglass Surface

Delamination occurs when layers of fiberglass separate from each other or from the substrate beneath. This can lead to bubbling, peeling, and structural weakness. Our team uses specialized techniques to remove delaminated sections, re-bond the surface, and reinforce the area for long-term durability.

Repair Cracks in Existing Fiberglass Shell or Liner

Cracks in fiberglass can be subtle or severe—but all require professional attention. We use precision grinding, patching, and sealing methods to repair cracks and restore a smooth, watertight finish. In many cases, our repairs are nearly invisible once completed.

Fiberglass Repairs for Converted Pools

If your pool was originally plaster, concrete, or vinyl liner and later converted to fiberglass, we can still help. Our repair services are compatible with:


  • Pre-manufactured fiberglass pools
  • Plaster pools resurfaced with fiberglass
  • Vinyl liner pools converted to fiberglass


We understand the unique challenges of each substrate and tailor our repair approach accordingly. No matter the origin or condition of your pool, we’ll find a solution that works.

Our Repair Process

Every fiberglass pool repair begins with a thorough inspection. We assess the extent of the damage, identify underlying causes, and recommend the most effective repair strategy. Our process includes:

Our goal is to make your pool look and perform like new—without the cost of a full resurfacing.

1. Surface Evaluation: We examine the pool for cracks, delamination, and weak spots.

2. Preparation: Damaged areas are cleaned, ground, and prepped for bonding.

3. Repair Application: Fiberglass patches and resin are applied with precision and cured for strength.

4. Finishing: The repaired area is sanded, polished, and blended to match the surrounding surface.

5. Final Inspection: We ensure the repair is watertight, smooth, and structurally sound.
