Concrete Pool ResurfacingBurnside
Restore your ageing concrete pool to match Burnside's premium standard.
Burnside's established homes sit on generous blocks with concrete pools built in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. After decades under a heavy tree canopy, these pools suffer from tannin staining, porous pebblecrete and structural cracking that no amount of chemical treatment can fix. Blue Revive does full concrete resurfacing — structural repair, tannin treatment and a modern coating system that lasts 15+ years. Not a quick paint job over failing render.
Why Burnside concrete pools are failing after 40+ years
Concrete and pebblecrete surfaces have a 15–25 year lifespan. Many Burnside pools are well past that. The tree canopy accelerates the problem — tannin from elm and oak leaves penetrates porous concrete, creating deep staining. Water gets behind cracked render, delamination spreads, and the surface becomes rough, stained and structurally compromised.
You've owned this pool for years and maintained it well. But the staining, the rough patches, the cracks — they're beyond what maintenance can fix. You want to restore it properly but you're worried about choosing the wrong company and wasting money.
A concrete pool was built to last generations. With the right resurfacing, it still can.
Signs your pool needs resurfacing
- Pebblecrete surface cuts feet and snags swimwear
- Deep brown tannin staining embedded in the concrete
- Structural cracks along walls or the floor
- Hollow-sounding areas where render has delaminated
- White calcium efflorescence and mineral deposits
- Algae that keeps returning despite balanced chemistry
Concrete pool transformations

We restore Burnside concrete pools — properly
A concrete pool resurface isn't a coat of paint. We strip to sound substrate, chase and repair every crack, treat tannin-affected concrete, and rebuild the surface layer by layer. Our commercial-grade preparation methods are the same techniques used on multi-storey buildings — brought to your Burnside backyard. Marty Penney and the Blue Revive team have been doing this for over 30 years.
Structural Crack Repair
Every crack is chased out, cleaned and filled with flexible compound before resurfacing.
Multi-Layer Coating
Multiple coats built up properly — not a single thin layer over failing pebblecrete.
Weather-Proof Application
Concrete coatings need dry, controlled conditions. Our four structures guarantee that.
Commercial-Grade Methods
The same preparation standards we use on $500k+ commercial projects.
