Swimming Pool Waterproofing

Survey first · fixed quote in 24h

  • Pool leak detection — evaporation/bucket, dye and pressure testing
  • Pipework and fitting repairs where the leak is in the lines
  • Crack repair and injection in the shell

Sound familiar?

  • We top up the pool every few days and the water bill keeps climbing.
  • The level drops more than normal evaporation, even with the pump off.
  • There's a wet patch in the garden or basement next to the pool.
  • Tiles are popping off and the grout below the waterline is cracking.
  • We're retiling the pool and want it waterproofed properly first.

Every one of these has a lasting fix — once the source is found.

The Survey

What we check before quoting swimming pool waterproofing

Most failed waterproofing jobs treated the stain, not the source. These are the points we check on every survey before we recommend a system or a price.

Shell vs. plumbing

A bucket test and pressure-testing the pipework tell us whether water is escaping through the shell or the lines — the fix is completely different.

Fittings & penetrations

Skimmers, inlets, lights and main drains dye-tested; the joint between a fitting and the concrete is where most pool leaks are.

Shell cracks & tile bed

Structural and shrinkage cracks mapped, and hollow tiles sounded out, to decide between local repair and a full shell membrane.

Balance tank & overflow

On overflow and infinity pools, the balance tank is checked too — a leaking tank can drain the pool without a visible sign.

The Scope

What's included

One fixed quote covers the full system for this service — preparation, membrane, details and testing — with no line-item creep once work begins.

  • Pool leak detection — evaporation/bucket, dye and pressure testing
  • Pipework and fitting repairs where the leak is in the lines
  • Crack repair and injection in the shell
  • Cementitious or PU pool membrane before retiling
  • Skimmers, lights and inlets sealed into the membrane
  • Balance-tank waterproofing on overflow and infinity pools
  • Fill test before handover, with photos, and a return visit if it leaks
How It Works

From first photo to flood-tested

Start with photos on WhatsApp. We confirm the source, quote one fixed price and prove the finished work before handing it back.

  1. Tell us the drop

    Send how much the level drops per day and photos of the pool on WhatsApp.

  2. Leak detection

    We test the shell, fittings and pipework to pinpoint the leak, then send one fixed quote.

  3. Repair & waterproof

    Lines and fittings repaired, cracks injected, and the shell membraned before retiling.

  4. Fill test & handover

    The pool is filled and monitored, then handed back with photos — and we come back if it leaks again.

Questions

Swimming Pool Waterproofing FAQs

The questions Dubai and Sharjah owners ask us most about this service.

Typical 2026 rates are AED 700–1,800 per pool for pool leak detection — dye, pressure & electronic test; AED 80–150 per m² for pool shell membrane before retiling. A leak that is only in a fitting or a pipe costs far less than a full shell membrane, which is why we find the leak before quoting.

Do a bucket test: place a bucket of pool water on a step, mark both water levels, and compare after 24 hours with the pump off. If the pool drops noticeably more than the bucket, it is leaking. In UAE summer evaporation is high, so this comparison matters.

Often, yes. Leaks at fittings, lights and small cracks can be dye-located and sealed with underwater-curing products. A full shell membrane needs the pool drained and the tiles removed.

Yes. Waterproofing a new or newly stripped shell before tiling is the cheapest time to do it properly — the membrane is applied, fill-tested and only then tiled.

Every rain makes a leak worse. Fix it properly, once.
