Top 3 Reasons to Choose LUXAPOOL® for Your Pool Renovation

Why Luxapool®

Repainting a pool is a serious commitment — draining, days of preparation and application, and two weeks of curing before you can fill it. The paint you choose decides whether you do it again in three years or eight.

Here’s the case for Luxapool®.

1. It Lasts

Luxapool® Epoxy Pool Paint is formulated for continuous water immersion in Australian conditions. It cures to a hard, high-gloss, chemically resistant finish with good resistance to chalking and blistering.

Seven to eight years with correct preparation, application and pool chemistry maintained to Colormaker’s guidelines. Suits bare concrete and render, fibreglass, marblesheen, quartzon, pebblecrete, and sound existing epoxy.

If your pool was previously coated in rubber-based paint, Luxapool® Chlorinated Rubber is your option — straightforward to apply and recoat, lasting up to three years. Epoxy will not adhere over rubber, so this one isn’t a preference, it’s determined by what’s already there.

Not sure which you have? Rub the surface for a minute with acetone or Chlorinated Rubber Solvent — soft and sticky means rubber, firm means epoxy.

2. Twenty-Five Colours

One of the widest pool colour ranges available in Australia, from crisp resort blues to natural greens and stone tones:

• Classic blues — Pacific Blue, Adriatic, Mid Blue, Misty Blue, Crestwood
• Deep tones — Deep Ocean, Atlantis, Devonport, Black, Slate
• Greens and aquas — Emerald Green, Lagoon, Brook Green, Pond Green, Aquamist, Turquoise, Serenity
• Light and neutral — Regency White, White, Platinum, Opaline, Riversand, Whitsunday, Tahitian, New Jacaranda

Every colour is formulated for UV stability and fade resistance. See the full range on the Epoxy Colour Guide.

Doing the surrounds as well? Poolside & Paving comes in 15 colours chosen to sit alongside the pool range.

3. Australian Made for Australian Pools

Luxapool® is manufactured in Australia by Colormaker Industries, specifically for the conditions here — high UV, saltwater chlorination, extreme summer temperatures and heavy seasonal use.

It’s used across both domestic and commercial pools, with published application guides covering every common surface type: new and old cement, pebblecrete, marblesheen and quartzon, fibreglass, and previously painted pools. That documentation is a genuine advantage — you’re not guessing at preparation or coverage.

And It’s a Real DIY Job

Both systems go on with a brush and roller. Thousands of Australian pool owners do it themselves each season, and the result is the same as a professional job because the paint is the same — what you’re saving is labour, typically $4,000 or more.

What you need to get right:

• Preparation — washing, repairs, etching, and drying to below 5% moisture
• A roller at least 270mm wide with a medium nap, plus a 75mm brush for cutting in. Our DIY Pool Painting Kit covers it
• Whole packs only, 5–10 minutes induction, used within the hour
• Two coats minimum, three on pebblecrete, 20 to 24 hours apart
• 10 days in summer or 14 in winter before refilling

After that, keeping pH between 7.2 and 7.8 and brushing occasionally is most of the maintenance.

What It Costs

A standard 10m × 5m pool takes 8 to 10 kits of epoxy over two coats — around $2,080 to $2,600 in paint, plus primer if the surface is bare. Pebblecrete takes roughly double.

Against $6,000 to $10,000 for professional resurfacing, or having painters do the same job.
