In February 2024 we contracted with Peninsula Pool Renovations for the re-lining of our marble-plaster pool. Tom came out in person to assess the pool prior to providing an estimate and gave us several itemized options on cost for not only the plaster, but also equipment choices for improving the energy and water efficiency of our pump, etc. We then decided what was best and reviewed our choices with him (he is very hands-on). Shortly thereafter we were informed when the work would begin. His crew was prompt, polite and neat and the entire project moved along at a good pace. After the pool was prepped for the plasterers, they came and within one day plastered and tiled the entire pool. It was amazing to see how his team worked so quickly and efficiently. Also, as far as the pool equipment goes, we ran into some unanticipated bumps but all were handled professionally and the issues were communicated to us clearly with proposed solutions. At the end of the project we received clear instructions regarding maintenance of the pool and equipment. Our overall experience with Peninsula Pool Renovations, from start to finish, showed the utmost in professionalism and industry knowledge. Tom and his team really know their trade and their communication and client management was some of the best we've experienced around Cape Town! We're looking forward to enjoying many more years in our pool and would highly recommend Tom and Peninsula Pool Renovations to anyone in need of their services.
May I take this opportunity of complimenting the team headed by Richard who relined my marbelite pool with fibreglass. When I saw there was a team of 5 men in a confined area (+/-4m x 6m) I expected problems. This is based on my experience with painters over the years and the mess that has to be cleaned up.
Well may I compliment Richard and his team for good organisation with little or no noise/talking, they just got about their job so efficiently that I didn’t even know they were on site. With resin/paint mixing and the application in this confined space I resigned myself to problems even though Phillip de Kock held the standard of your company in high regard.
Well surprise, surprise I was most impressed and congratulated Richard and his team on the neatest job I have witnessed a team of workers complete;
No noise/talking
Well organised
Cleaning as they went about their job
The finish looks great
I felt confident just watching the way the workers went about their work, and you have a satisfied customer.
In addition the maid's toilet was left in the same condition as your staff found it, clean & tidy.
Rating 10 out of 10 for an excellent job well done.
We first approached Peninsula Pool Renovations in 2012 to sort out our ageing pool, but were unable to decide on pool heating so put the work off for 3 years. I had no hesitation in returning to Tom when we decided to go ahead with the work as we found he sensible to deal with and had an excellent reputation. Tom and his team tackled the complete makeover of our 20 year old pool efficiently and without fuss and were very happy to work alongside another company who put in some solar heating. They were always on site, kept noise and mess to a minimum and kept us informed of what was happening throughout. I had complete faith in the company and found that the advice given during the planning was excellent. They were responsive to late changes and to the insertion of a new range of pool lights they had not dealt with before. On completion, the house and garden were left clean and tidy. All minor issues once the pool was refilled were resolved quickly and without fuss. We are delighted with the end result that has left us with a much more attractive, efficient and workable pool. I would have no hesitation in recommending the company to anyone. We have no hesitation in recommending Tom Botha and Peninsula Pool Renovations. They are a pleasant, efficient and reliable company to deal with.
The main issue we had with our pool was that it is more than 26 years old and looked very unattractive. The marblelite coating had become rough and there were also some unsightly stains that one could not remove. In some sections the coping was worn and cracked. The old mosaic band around the pool and on the steps looked old fashioned and faded as well. The paving was in a poor condition in certain places. In some areas the surface was not even or flat anymore. We lost interest in the pool and was on the brink to fill the pool with sand.We then decided to have the pool and paving renovated. The pool needed a fibreglass lining and the paving needed to be redone.We knew that it will not cost a few cents because of the size of the pool, a 55000 lt pool. So I went on the internet and looked for people doing renovation of pools but they must be affiliated with the National Spa & Pool Institute (NSPI). I found out of hundreds thee companies, one of which was Peninsula Pool Renovations. I contacted the three companies.The first company’s representative came but I was not impressed with him because he took the measurements down on the back of his business card and when I asked about the paving he said they don’t do paving but he will forward me the name of a company that can do it.The second company’s representative took the measurements more professional and said they do the paving and will include it in the quotation. When we received the quotation it was much more than what we expected and could afford.We waited for Tom Botha from Peninsula Pool Renovations to visit us. Not only was he professional in his assessment of the work requested but also gave additional advice and suggestions to improve, not only the actual pool, but other aspects as well, which we agreed to have done. This was the installation of a salt water chlorinator, complete re-routing and re-plumbing of all the water lines and fittings, new skimmer box unit, installing 2 inlets instead of the one because the water will circulate better and the repositioning of the pool pump and filter system. We wanted a blue fibreglass lining. and a new mosaic band, dolphins. We requested new paving around the pool and three sides between the pool and the walls also needed to be paved.Needless to say that out of the thee quotations we received we accepted Tom’s quotation.We are also satisfied with Tom and his team for doing the work. Although the renovation project was fairly big, we managed to remain within budget and the final outcome has been truly remarkable and successful. The pool looks like a new one and the investment has been well worth it. Everybody that sees the pool now ask if it is a new pool and if it is bigger.We would definitely recommend Peninsula Pool Renovations as a suitable and competent pool renovation company.
The Management, Trustees and residents of Grosvenor Square extend their heartfelt thanks for the exceptional work carried out on our pool. From commencement of the renovations, which included re-lining the pool, re-paving the surrounding area as well as water storage, Peninsula Pools displayed utter professionalism in their daily dealings with Grosvenor Square Management and residents alike, were always on time, very considerate of any noise levels and completed the job well within the agreed time- frame. The pool, since completion, has now been enjoyed by our regular swimmers all pf who have commented on the fantastic job and for this we thank Tom and his team for their impeccable work carried out.
Peninsula pool renovations has recently completed the reline of our 185000-litre pool, the installation of four new weirs and two new stainless steel emergency water suction points. The pool had some delaminated fiber glass patches and the corners had started to pull away from the copings. New copings were fitted, and the team really went the extra mile to repair paving where it started to sink and levelled it to be inline with the copings around the pool. Tom and his team did a really great job with water storage and work done in under two weeks a planned.
Since day Zero in Cape Town we have had a disaster of a pool which was only good as a breeding ground for leopard toads. The pool was gunite, had poor circulation and the surrounding paving was damaged and sinking all over. We called Tom who not only improved our circulation and converted it to fiberglass but took it to the new millennium by adding features like a water neutral backwash system and a water return solution to help keep our pool running even if we can’t can’t top it up during draught periods. On top of that Tom agreed project manage the entire project for us by coordinating all the other contractors ( the decking and pool cover ) which meant that we had absolutely minimal involvement in the day to day running of the project but the end result is quite spectacular and on time. Thank you Tom and team for doing this all for us. We are thrilled with the end result.
I have had my vinyl lined pool for 28 years and suffered many lining changes during that period. The last period was just one too many times. I called Tom Botha of Peninsula Pool Renovations and learnt that the company had won many awards over the years. I received a detailed quotation which I accepted and it was agreed that work would commence shortly. A few days later the crew arrived on site and started to dismantle of my old swimming pool. A concrete floor was cast and within 7 days, the pool was fibreglass lined and filling commenced. Paving was repaired in this time and the site was cleaned the day after the pool was started up. The pool area is now a perfect recreational area and pool is in pristine condition. Thank you, Tom, for my new Swimming Pool, I wish you and your Pool Renovations Team every success for the future.
Peninsula Pool Renovations has recently completed the overhaul of our 110 000 litre gunite pool. The pool was in very bad shape and had become unlevel due to tree roots. Tom and his team built up the sides to ensure that the pool was level, fibre glassed the pool, moved the skimmer box to a more practical position and put in two new pool lights which operate on a timer. New copings were fitted and paving was also laid by the company. The revamped pool looks stunning and it was a pleasure to deal with each and every team member that was on site. Each team, who was responsible for a specific task, knew exactly what they had to do. The site was kept neat and tidy and the job was completed within the timeframe given. We had open lines of communication throughout the process. Tom would contact me to keep me informed if the team was not coming due to bad weather, and I appreciated that. This is the second pool renovation that they have done for us and we would definitely recommend them.
We chose Peninsula Pool Renovations to do our Fiberglas pool face lift. We found Tom Botha Very pleasant and his quote for the work very detailed and all priced individually . The work was carried out by his teams of people and we were very satisfied with the end product so I can highly recommend Tom Botha at Peninsula Pools.
Thanks Very much
I needed a contractor to remove an aging, leaking fibre pool, fill up the hole and lay paving. Tom answered the call. He came out to quote and gave me his plan for the removal of the Pool and paving. Work started on time as planned and always under supervision. His team of professionals, skillfully removed the pool and filled up the hole as planned. The end result was to our entire satisfaction. We can highly recommend Tom and his team to get the result for your pool related project.
Baie dankie vir die uitstekende diens van u werkers met my swembad groete.
Thank you Mr Oberholster, it was a pleasure dealing with you and your wife.
Hi Tom, thank you once again to you, Anthony and team, for a very nice job resurfacing my pool. The guys were very respectful and worked very neatly, leaving my backyard very clean and tidy after the job, much appreciative of the service received.
Tom and his team did a fantastic job at Villa Italia, completely renovating both our outdoor leisure pool as well as the indoor training pool. The pools were in a sorry state and now are world class with new linings, pumps and filtration equipment.
The level of service and advice received was outstanding and we cannot recommend Peninsula Pool Renovations more highly. Thanks Tom!
Good to know isolated pockets of good and ethical service still exist! A water storage tank installed a year ago started to “lean” and became detached. A call to Tom Botha had a two-man crew here in 48 hours and cheerful and professional service solved the problem in an hour. What a pleasure! I highly commend Pool Renovation.
Dear Tom
We would like to thank you and your team for the renovation of our swimming pool.
The whole process form beginning to end was an absolute pleasure and all the info you provide us with from tile to pumps and cleaners.
We can highly recommend Peninsula Pool Renovations cc for an excellent service and a beautiful renovated pool.
My pool recently developed large cracks and a major leak. I had a renovation and resurfacing of the pool and a new backwash system inserted. The work was done by Peninsular Pool Renovations and supervised by Tom Botha. The service and quality of the renovation was excellent. The quotation was well priced, the work was done timeously, the quality of the finishes excellent and the follow –up and handover process very professional. I would highly recommend Tom and his team for anyone needing pool work done.
Peninsula Pool Renovations were extremely professional in their approach to my job. They completed everything on time and saved me having to co-ordinate multiple suppliers to get a range of pool-related work done.
I just want to thank "Peninsula Pool Renovations" for the work that they performed. Please forward my thanks to the whole team, the civil guys, the fibreglass guys, everyone .The renovation ended to be exactly as I envisaged, and your quote was clear and concise .
Quite impressed!
We have a rather huge pool at our house and for many years our kids and their friends enjoyed Themselves after school and on weekends. Unfortunately, I could not say I enjoyed the pool as much because it took a real effort to maintain the pool.Rust stains developed in the pool, I struggled to keep it sparkling and after spending a great deal of money with some of the ”pool specialists” in Cape Town without any success we finally considered filling up the pool with soil and establish a garden.Then in August 2015 a friend referred me to Tom Botha, owner of Peninsula Pool Renovations. As a last resort, I contacted Tom and made an appointment for him to come and advise me on possible solutions. I was immediately impressed with Tom’s knowledge of his field and the problems he pointed out and explained made sense to me and it was obvious that I was at last dealing with a true expert.I then gave Tom the go-ahead to sort out my Pool and less than a month later my pool was fitted with the right pump and filter for the size of the pool with additional return inlets to ensure proper circulation. He also installed a variable speed pump and a heat pump as well as a Robotic pool Cleaner, all supplied by Zodiac, who also impressed me with the professional way in which they conduct their business.I still have dealings with Tom and contact him whenever I need advice, whether it be pool covers or Chlorinators he knows the best.I can now honestly say I enjoy my pool and I don’t spend more than 15 minutes per month on Maintaning it.Thank you once again Tom!
Hi Tom
I just want to thank you for your professional service and follow through! The whole experience even with having to re-do through no fault of your own was great and handled in a professional and painless manor. If there is a review section on your web site, or somewhere where you would like me to add a review, please let me know.
And please pass on my thanks to Anthony and his team.
Hi Tom
Peninsula Pool Renovations have renovated the swimming pool in the Complex to a very high standard. They have proved themselves throughout – from our first enquiry to completion – to be a Company with whom it was a pleasure to do business. Their Company approach was extremely professional, we were informed at every point of the process as to what was taking place, their workmanship is of a very high standard and they always worked to the customer’s requirements and satisfaction and going the ‘extra mile’ wherever they could.
They gave valuable advice wherever it was needed and their suggestions for improvements were happily taken on board by the Trustees of the Complex in securing a significantly improved pool area for everyone to enjoy.
Their suggestion and capability in storing the existing pool water in order for it to be pumped back into the newly renovated pool was a fantastic saving for all concerned.
We highly recommend Peninsula Pool Renovations.
Our pool renovation has been a painless process thanks to Tom and team.
The pool looks beautiful and we look forward to summer to be able to make lots of use of it.
Hi Tom
Thanks for sending Winston to come and rescue me from my stupidity.
Everything seems to be working fine now. I want in particular to compliment your staff who have been most considerate and courteous. Such upheavals on your property is seldom a pleasant experience, but your staff have certainly seen to it that in this case we had the minimum of hassles.
Thank you and all best.
Hi Tom
A bit late, but thanks again for the excellent work done in pool repairs and upgrades at my house.
From all accounts, your guys did a splendid job.
