Skimmer repair / relining

We provide specialist skimmer repair solutions, including non-destructive methods for leaking or damaged skimmers.

Specialist skimmer repair without disruptive demolition

Has a leak been identified in your skimmer, and are you looking for a way to repair it without major demolition work?

Skimmer relining is an ideal solution for a long-lasting no-dig repair without damaging the pool or its surroundings. It is a non-destructive technique designed to restore defective skimmers while avoiding the disruption of traditional repair works.

Our relining technique involves reinforcing the skimmer internally with fibreglass and resin, before applying a specialist ABS coating for a clean and durable finish.

How does a skimmer relining repair work?

Step 1

Swimming pool leak detection

Using specialist equipment, we accurately identify the location, cause and origin of the pool leak. If the leak has already been identified by another professional, we will confirm its location before proceeding with the repair.

Step 2

Evaluating the Suitability of Skimmer Relining

Once the source and location of the leak have been confirmed, we assess whether the skimmer can be repaired by relining. Where possible, we always prioritise repair solutions that are as non-invasive as possible.

Step 3

Skimmer relining repair

We use a certified internal relining process in which resin-impregnated fibreglass is applied to the defective areas of the skimmer. The result is a long-lasting repair that also improves the structural integrity of the treated section.

A reliable and no-dig technique

We provide relining solutions for all skimmer bases, skimmer throats and vertical skimmer downpipes.

Non-destructive Skimmer repair

We provide relining solutions for skimmer bases, skimmer throats and vertical skimmer downpipes. This requires no demolition work, avoiding the intrusive and disruptive impact on an established pool area.

A more cost-effective alternative to traditional repairs

This method is significantly more cost-effective as it eliminates the need for major works, such as demolition or trench excavation.

Structural reinforcement of your existing skimmer

More than just a fix: skimmer relining provides a structural upgrade, delivering a skimmer that is even more robust than the day it was installed! (48-bar certified, resists 2 tons of stress !)

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about skimmer repair, leaking skimmers and non-destructive repair solutions for swimming pools.

How do I know if my pool skimmer is leaking?

A leaking skimmer can cause ongoing water loss, damp areas around the pool and, in some cases, visible signs of damage or cracking. If a leak is suspected around the skimmer, a professional inspection is the best way to confirm the source of the problem and determine the most suitable repair method.

Can a leaking skimmer be repaired without breaking the surrounding area?

Yes, in some cases it can. Non-destructive skimmer repair methods, such as skimmer relining, may allow the defective area to be repaired without major demolition work. Suitability depends on the condition of the skimmer and the nature of the fault.

What is skimmer relining?

Skimmer relining is a repair method used to restore a leaking or damaged skimmer from the inside. It involves reinforcing the defective areas with specialist materials to create a durable repair while avoiding more invasive works wherever possible.
