Fibreglass Gutter Filling

Many older fibreglass pools feature a built-in gutter or recessed edge around the perimeter — a design that was once common but often leads to ongoing maintenance issues.These recessed areas tend to collect dirt, debris, and algae, making cleaning more difficult and increasing chemical usage to keep the water balanced.

At Splash Pool & Spa Australia, we offer a professional gutter filling and resurfacing solution that transforms outdated or high-maintenance pool edges into a smooth, modern finish that’s easier to maintain and more visually appealing.

🧱 How the Process Works

The gutter is filled with a reinforced render mix, carefully levelled and shaped to match the surrounding surface.

Once cured, the area is laminated with fibreglass and finished with a premium gelcoat layer as part of the resurfacing system.This process creates a continuous, sealed edge that blends seamlessly with the rest of the pool structure — improving both function and appearance.

💧 Key Benefits of Gutter Filling

1. Cleaner Pool, Less Maintenance

By removing deep recesses where dirt and leaves accumulate, the pool stays cleaner for longer.You’ll notice fewer algae spots forming around the edges and less time spent brushing and vacuuming hard-to-reach corners.

2. Reduced Chemical Usage

Because debris and stagnant water are minimised, chemical efficiency improves.That means you’ll use less chlorine or sanitiser to maintain balance — saving money and extending the lifespan of your fibreglass surface.

3. Improved Water Circulation

A level, uniform edge promotes better water flow and filtration, preventing dead zones where water stagnates.This helps maintain clearer water and reduces strain on your filtration system.

4. Enhanced Durability

The filled and resurfaced gutter area becomes part of the structural shell, reinforced with fibreglass layers that add strength and stability.It’s a long-term solution designed to perform under constant water exposure.

5. Modern, Streamlined Appearance

A smooth, continuous pool edge gives your pool a modern and refined look, eliminating the dark or uneven lines that gutters often create.It’s an instant visual upgrade that complements resurfacing beautifully.

💵 A Cost-Effective Improvement

Compared to structural modifications or full shell replacement, gutter filling is a practical and affordable way to update your pool.It improves functionality, reduces ongoing maintenance costs, and enhances the overall finish — offering excellent value for money in both the short and long term.

🌟 The Perfect Finish, Built to Last

Every gutter fill project by Splash Pool & Spa Australia is carried out with precision — from preparation to lamination — ensuring the new surface is watertight, durable, and visually consistent with the rest of the pool.

The result?

A smoother, cleaner, and more efficient pool that not only looks great but also saves time and money on maintenance for years to come.
