About Lionel Pools

Thirty-Two Years
on the Tiles

I started Lionel Pools because I was done watching decades of hard-won skill go unappreciated. Every pool I work on gets the full weight of everything I know — and that's considerable.

Clients come back because the work holds. Not just the lining, but the standard. A pool I touched five years ago still looks the way it should. That's not luck — that's craft applied with intention.

If your pool is tired, cracked, faded, or simply past its best — I make old pools new. That's what I do. That's all I do. And I do it very well.

What Sets This Work Apart

Three Decades, One Standard

32+ years of pool lining and renovation experience — not just time served, but thousands of problems solved and lessons learned.

Quality That Outlasts the Job

Clients return because the work holds up. Proper preparation, the right materials, and an uncompromising eye for detail on every project.

Old Pools, New Life

We specialise in bringing worn-out, cracked, and faded pools back to their best — a transformation that adds real value to your home.

Straight Talk, No Surprises

You'll know exactly what the job involves, what it takes, and what to expect. Experience means we've seen it all — and we'll be honest about what yours needs.

What customers say

Real reviews from real customers

The team did an incredible job relining our old pool in Constantia. It looks brand new and the fiberglass finish is absolutely perfect.

Vusi H.

Lionel Pools gave us the best quote in Cape Town by far. Really great value for money and they didn't cut any corners with the project.

Francois F.

The guys were so friendly and made the whole renovation process completely hassle-free. Highly recommend them for any pool project!

Our pool lining was sorted out quickly and professionally just in time for summer. Excellent service from start to finish.

Common questions

What People Ask Before Getting Started

What kinds of pool work do you do?
Lionel Pools specialises in pool linings, resurfacing, and full renovation projects. Whether your pool is cracking, fading, leaking, or simply overdue for a complete overhaul — we assess every situation individually and recommend what the pool actually needs.
How do I pay for the work?
Payment is made directly to Lionel Pools once we've discussed the project and agreed on the scope. We'll walk you through everything upfront so there are no surprises.
How long does a pool lining project typically take?
Timelines depend on the size of the pool and the scope of work — a standard lining can take a few days, while a full renovation may take longer. After we assess your pool, we'll give you a realistic timeline before any work begins.
Where are you based and do you travel to me?
We're based at 11 Bethels Street, Cape Town. Pool work happens at your property — we come to you. Get in touch and we'll confirm whether your area falls within our service reach.
How do I know the work will last?
Thirty-two years of experience and a 96% client satisfaction rate tell their own story. Clients come back — and refer their neighbours — because the work holds up. We don't cut corners, because a lining that fails in two years is a failure, not a job.
