Stop the leak. Keep the pool.
We install reinforced PVC membrane linings inside council, school and commercial pools across Australia. The membrane goes over your existing tiles or concrete, so there is no demolition and no rebuild.

Learn moreWhy councils reline instead of rebuild
Most leaking commercial pools have a sound structure with a failed surface: cracked tiles, open joints and years of patch repairs. A welded membrane gives the whole pool a new watertight skin without touching the concrete shell.
We inspect first. If there is a structural or pipework problem the membrane won't fix, we'll tell you before you spend anything.
| Option | Retile | Rebuild | Membrane reline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Demolition | Strip old tiles | Full shell | None |
| Watertight layer | Relies on grout and render | New shell | Continuous welded membrane |
| Copes with cracking and movement | Cracks come back through | Until it moves again | Membrane is independent of the shell |
| Time closed to swimmers | Long | Longest | Shortest |
| Relative cost | Medium | Highest | Lowest of the three |
Membrane systems we install
We are installers, not a single-brand dealer. We specify the membrane that suits the pool, the budget and how the facility is used.

What you get when you call us
A straight answer before you spend
We inspect the pool and tell you honestly whether relining is the right fix. If the real problem is the shell or the pipework, you'll hear it from us before you commit a dollar.
A clear scope, no guesswork
Preparation, fittings and exclusions are set out in the quote, so your team, your finance people and your councillors all know exactly what's included before work starts.
Back in the water sooner
We know a closed pool means lost swimming lessons, unhappy locals and phone calls to council. We plan every job around your season and your community, give you a realistic timeframe up front, and stick to it.

Who we work with
Councils
50 m, 25 m and learners pools, including regional facilities where downtime and budget both matter.
Schools
Private and state school pools, with works timed around term dates and the swimming season.
Facility managers
Leisure and FM operators who need a reliable subcontractor across more than one state.
Head contractors
Membrane supply and installation packages with full SWMS, ITP and program documentation.
A family business, two generations on the tools.
My father started this business and spent more than 40 years in the Australian pool industry, beginning with vinyl-lined pools and moving into commercial membrane lining.
I started working alongside him about 20 years ago and learned the trade on site, pool by pool. We became partners in 2018. Since his retirement I run Aquatic Linings, and I still manage every project personally, from the first inspection to handover.
That means the person who quotes your job is the person on site making sure it is done properly.

Common questions
Can a membrane go over our existing tiles?
Yes. We regularly line over existing tiled pools, including council pools at Narromine, Coonabarabran, Baradine and Mansfield. Loose or damaged areas are prepared first, but the tiles don't need to come out.
Will relining stop our pool leaking?
A welded membrane forms a new watertight layer inside the shell, so water no longer reaches the cracks and joints that were leaking. If our inspection finds a structural or pipework problem as well, we'll tell you up front.
How long will the pool be closed?
It depends on the size of the pool and the preparation it needs. You'll get a program with your quote, and we plan around your season, term dates or events wherever we can.
Do you work outside NSW?
Yes. We work Australia-wide, with most projects in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and the ACT, including remote and regional sites.
Can you work as a subcontractor?
Yes. We regularly deliver the membrane package for head contractors and facility managers, with our own SWMS, ITP, risk register and program.
