Skye Pools
Tristan drew praise for pool knowledge and fair pricing from one Bargara customer.
The pattern across those negative reviews is consistent enough to warrant serious caution: structural defects (unlevel pools, leaking pipes, out-of-square concrete), difficulty reaching the business post-installation, and at least one formally lodged QBCC complaint. One customer reports a positive experience with installer Tristan, so if you do proceed, asking specifically who will be handling your build and confirming their licensing status with QBCC before signing anything would be the minimum due diligence steps to take.

About Skye Pools
Tristan is the one named individual in any review who drew praise — credited with being knowledgeable and competitively priced on at least one installation. Beyond that single positive data point, the picture painted by the majority of reviewers is deeply concerning: multiple customers describe pools that were not level, leaked, or were installed by workers who may not have held the appropriate qualifications. One detailed account lists unresolved issues spanning over 12 months post-build, including pipes that leaked, concrete poured out of square, and a safety earthing error that had to be corrected by someone on the phone — not the installer on site. A QBCC complaint has been filed by at least one customer, and several report difficulty making contact with the business after problems emerged. The business operates out of Bargara and has taken on jobs in the broader Bundaberg region, with pools in the $50,000–$53,500 price range mentioned specifically.
Best for: homeowners who can verify installer credentials independently before signing, and who want a single point of contact in the Bundaberg area to compare against other licensed pool builders.

What does Skye Pools charge for a new pool build?+
Two reviews mention pool builds costing $50,000 and $53,500 respectively, suggesting mid-range residential in-ground pools fall in that price bracket. One customer described that price as 'decent' while another felt the outcome did not represent value for money given the defects they experienced. There is no published pricing or quote process mentioned in the reviews. Get a detailed written quote and compare it with at least two other licensed pool builders in the Bundaberg region before committing.
Is Skye Pools licensed with the QBCC?+
At least one reviewer raised concerns that the person who installed their pool may not have held the appropriate qualifications, and noted an apprentice was involved in the work. A QBCC complaint has been formally submitted by at least one customer. You can verify any pool builder's current licence status directly at the QBCC licence search tool online — this is strongly recommended before signing any contract.
What areas does Skye Pools service?+
The business is based in Bargara, QLD, and reviews reference work completed in the broader Bundaberg region. No reviews mention travel to areas outside that region, so confirm your location is within their service area when making contact.
Who does the installation work at Skye Pools?+
One reviewer named Tristan as their installer and described him as knowledgeable with fair pricing — the only named individual to receive positive feedback. Other reviews do not name specific workers but raise concerns about installer qualifications on those jobs. If you contact Skye Pools, asking upfront who will be assigned to your build and what their individual licensing credentials are would be a reasonable step.
What do customers say about after-sales support from Skye Pools?+
Several reviewers describe difficulty getting issues resolved after installation was complete, with one reporting they were still fighting to get their pool operational more than 12 months after build completion. At least two customers state the business became uncontactable when problems were raised. Reviews don't mention any formal warranty process or after-sales service structure — clarify this in writing before signing any agreement.
