St. Ives Project: A Luxury Pool Transformation
The St. Ives Project is a showcase of Duraglaze’s expertise in creating high-end pool renovations tailored to Sydney’s most discerning homeowners. This project highlights our ability to merge structural precision with aesthetic excellence, using our advanced resurfacing systems and premium finishes to deliver a result that is both timeless and durable.
From initial consultation through to the final handover, our team carefully managed every stage—balancing client vision with practical requirements and ensuring the outcome exceeded expectations. The finished pool now stands as a stunning centrepiece, seamlessly integrated with the surrounding landscape and designed for decades of enjoyment.
Design
We begin by assessing your existing pool and understanding how you want it to look, feel, and perform. From surface finishes and colour selection to tile lines and coping details, every recommendation is made to enhance your pool’s current structure—never rebuild it unnecessarily. You’ll receive a clear renovation plan and transparent quote, so you know exactly what’s being upgraded before work begins.
Build
Using the Duraglaze multi-layer resurfacing system, we restore worn, outdated pools with precision and durability. Whether you choose mosaic, quartz, or pebblecrete, each finish is expertly applied using proven techniques engineered for Sydney’s climate. From waterline tiles to surface preparation, every step is focused on extending the life of your pool while delivering a refined, like-new finish.
Install
Our licensed trades and master craftsmen manage the entire renovation process from start to finish. With a dedicated project manager coordinating each stage, your resurfacing is completed efficiently, cleanly, and on schedule. The result is a fully revitalized pool—professionally finished, structurally sound, and ready to be enjoyed for decades to come.
Before the Transformation
Before renovation, many pools reflect an earlier era—aged finishes, outdated layouts, and functionality that no longer meet the needs of modern homeowners. Over time, exposure to the elements can leave surfaces worn, waterlines tired, and overall design out of step with today’s lifestyle expectations.
These “before” images capture each pool at its starting point: valuable, but ready for renewal. They serve as a reminder of how a considered transformation can bring new life, purpose, and beauty to an outdoor space.
St. Ives Project: Modernising with Elegance
In St. Ives, we were tasked with breathing new life into an outdated family pool. Our design direction was clear: create a contemporary retreat that balanced functionality with striking aesthetics. The Duraglaze resurfacing system provided the foundation, delivering a vibrant, smooth-to-touch finish that is resistant to Sydney’s changing climate conditions.
To complete the transformation, we introduced elegant water features, modern paving, and tailored decking. Every element was carefully curated to ensure visual cohesion, making the pool the focal point of the outdoor space. Today, this once-tired pool has become a statement of modern design—ready for both relaxation and entertaining.
The Results
Following renovation, the space is completely reimagined—revitalised with premium finishes, seamless surfaces, and a timeless design that balances durability with beauty. Each transformation showcases Duraglaze’s commitment to craftsmanship, functionality, and style, resulting in pools that feel brand new yet are built to last for decades.
These “after” images reveal the stunning end result: outdoor living elevated, value restored, and a pool that once again becomes the centrepiece of the home.
