10+ years hands-on with fibreglass pools

I've spent over a decade resurfacing, repairing, and assessing fibreglass pools across Queensland. Now I use that experience to give buyers, owners, and sellers the independent expertise they need before making expensive decisions.

Brady

Fibreglass Pool Specialist

I started Fibreglass Pool Check because I kept seeing the same thing: buyers getting burned by pool problems that could have been spotted by someone who knows what to look for. Building inspectors check the house — not the pool. And the repair bills that follow can run into tens of thousands of dollars.

Before launching this service, I spent over a decade on tools — resurfacing, repairing, and renovating fibreglass pools. I've seen every failure mode from the inside: osmotic blistering, delamination, gelcoat breakdown, structural flexing, fitting failures. That hands-on experience is what makes my assessments different from a desktop review.

With 250+ pools assessed, I know what problems look like at every stage — from early warning signs through to major structural issues. I have no affiliation with any pool builder, contractor, or supplier. My assessment is yours alone.

Case study: Mary Valley, QLD

A buyer under contract contacted me after a standard building inspection gave their pool a clean pass. My assessment identified significant osmotic blistering and early signs of delamination — repairs that would have cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Armed with the written report, the buyer renegotiated the purchase price and proceeded with the purchase on much better terms.

Fibreglass pool renovated by Brady — Warren & Allison Fowler

We bought a house with a pool, and the pool was not all it seemed to be. Brady displays amazing attention to detail. He loves doing what he does. And it shows, because our pool looks fantastic! From the painstaking prep work through to the final gel coats, the results speak for themselves. Even our water carter said he's never seen a better looking renovated pool.

Fibreglass pool renovated by Brady — Russell Walsh

My fibreglass pool was an absolute mess and I had been putting off fixing it for ages. Brady was fantastic, a hard worker with very high standards and strangely, he loves what he does. In Brady's mind — the job had to be done right — and it certainly was. The pictures tell the story. After completion the pool looked so good I then had to do something with the landscaping.

Fibreglass pool renovated by Brady — Michael & Gaynor Hooper

From our very first contact, we were impressed with the responsiveness and professionalism. Despite a few hiccups with inclement weather, the work was completed within the expected timeframe to a beautiful finish. The final result is perfect. I can unreservedly recommend Brady for both his quality workmanship and his commitment to customer satisfaction.

Fibreglass pool renovated by Brady — R. Evans

Brady arrived on time each day and would work all day without much of a break. I had a lot of osmosis in my pool but no problem for Brady, just got on with the job. My pool on completion looks fantastic. Thanks for all your hard work Brady.

Fibreglass pool renovated by Brady — Linton Passmore

From the beginning I was informed of the scope of works, possible variations and the time frames. Brady's knowledge of the pool industry, methods and equipment used to provide a quality finish was impressive. At the end of every day Brady cleaned the work site and left it in a safe condition. My pool has been renovated to a quality that will enhance the value of my house.

Fibreglass pool renovated by Brady — Andrew Newcombe

My fibreglass pool was in very poor condition and Brady gave me excellent advice and very personal service to get it repaired and resurfaced. The final result looks fabulous.

Fibreglass pool renovated by Brady — Glen & Tracey Leeder

We approached resurfacing our grotty old pool with some trepidation. The marblesheen had either come off in chunks or was worn away in large patches. Brady worked hard to guide us through the process and the pool now looks fantastic. We are really pleased with the results! The original quote was very competitive.

Fibreglass pool renovated by Brady — R. & C. Lumsford

The pool required extensive work on the entire surface. The work was long and tiring but everything was exactly right to achieve an excellent result. The pool was stripped and meticulously resurfaced with the utmost professionalism.

Fibreglass pool renovated by Brady — Leanne & Les Fleet

Our pool had lost its gloss and stains were regularly appearing. Not to mention the severe osmosis all over the pool shell. Brady came to visit, saw the problem firsthand, and explained in detail what he could do. We received our quote — much much much less than a new pool — and straight away organised a time for Brady to start work. In just four days they had turned one very sad looking little pool into a sparkling gem. We cannot say enough about Brady's attention to detail and his determination to not be defeated by a little thing such as threatening bad weather.

How I work

Completely independent

No affiliation with any pool builder, contractor, or supplier. I have no financial interest in what you decide to do with your pool.

Fibreglass specialist only

I assess fibreglass pools only. This focus means my knowledge is deeper and more current than any generalist inspector.

Plain language

My reports are written to be understood by people who are not pool experts. No jargon — just clear findings and actionable guidance.
