Mr pebbles pool renovations
Anthony physically gets into your pool to assess it — something most competitors skip entirely.
That distinction — doing a proper structural assessment rather than a desktop estimate — runs through review after review and directly predicts the quality of the finished job. Anthony is named personally in every review, confirming this is a hands-on owner-operated business rather than a company that sends subcontractors; if you're booking Mr Pebbles, you're getting Anthony. His practice of quoting a price and holding it — one reviewer noted he honoured a price locked in four months earlier through COVID delays — is a practical reassurance worth confirming in writing before you proceed.

About Mr pebbles pool renovations
Anthony — the hands-on owner behind Mr Pebbles — specialises in full pool resurfacing and structural renovation of aged concrete, pebblecrete, and marble-sheen pools, with many of his jobs involving pools that are 20 to 60 years old and have been failed by previous contractors. What separates him from competitors is a pre-job process that rivals take shortcuts on: he physically gets into the pool to assess the structure, spends over an hour walking homeowners through every method and step, and uses additional bonding agents to extend surface longevity from the industry-standard 5–10 years toward 25–30 years. He works primarily on residential pools and has also handled a 25-metre strata complex pool, so he's comfortable scaling from a quick single-day repair to a multi-day full renovation involving new coping, waterline tiles, filtration systems, and lighting. Post-job, Anthony makes courtesy calls weeks after completion to check in — multiple reviews specifically note this is unexpected and appreciated — and he's freely advised homeowners over the phone on crack repairs and chemistry without charging for his time. His product offering includes unique finishes such as iridescent glass and mirror fleck pebblecrete that reviewers describe as exclusive to his business in Australia, giving him an edge for homeowners after a premium aesthetic result. He's best suited to homeowners who've had a frustrating experience with a previous pool contractor and need someone who will explain everything, show up when promised, and leave the site clean at the end of each day.
Best for: full structural renovation of concrete or pebblecrete pools 20+ years old, homeowners who've been let down by previous pool contractors, tight turnarounds including pre-Christmas completions, and pools requiring premium or unusual interior finishes.

What types of pools does Mr Pebbles work on?+
Anthony works predominantly on aged concrete, pebblecrete, and marble-sheen pools, with many projects involving pools built in the 1970s through to early 2000s. Reviews document jobs on pools ranging from a small residential pool to a 25-metre strata complex pool. He has handled structural issues including concrete cancer, deep cracking, and worn-through painted finishes. If your pool is very old or has been poorly repaired before, that appears to be a scenario he takes on rather than declines.
Does Anthony provide quotes in person, and what does that process look like?+
Yes — and this is consistently highlighted as different from competitors. Anthony physically gets into the pool during the quote visit to assess the structure properly, rather than quoting from the pool deck. Multiple reviewers note he spent over an hour walking them through the methods, materials, and step-by-step process before any agreement was made. He has also been noted to honour quoted prices even months later, including through COVID delays — though confirming price-lock terms in writing before booking is always sensible.
How long does a typical pool renovation take?+
Based on customer reviews, most full resurfacing jobs are completed within two to four days. A 20-year-old pebblecrete pool was completed within two days, a family pool reline took three days, and a large 10-metre pool was finished in three days. Anthony is noted for arriving early each morning and leaving the site clean at the end of each day. Turnaround times will vary depending on pool size, structural repairs required, and curing steps — ask him at the quote stage for a specific timeline on your job.
What finishes does Mr Pebbles offer that you might not find elsewhere?+
Several reviewers specifically mention finishes they couldn't find through other companies, including iridescent glass beading, mirror fleck pebblecrete, and a smooth pebble finish (rather than the traditional rough surface) that reduces algae and black-spot growth. One reviewer noted that Anthony claimed these are exclusive to his business in Australia — we can't independently verify that, but the product range is clearly broader than most competitors. Anthony discusses colour, texture, and longevity trade-offs during the quote consultation, so come with your aesthetic preferences ready.
Does Mr Pebbles provide support after the renovation is complete?+
Post-job support is one of the most frequently praised aspects of working with Anthony. Multiple reviewers mention unexpected courtesy calls weeks after completion to check on the pool's progress, and he's noted to answer questions about water chemistry and pool maintenance at any time. One reviewer described receiving extensive free phone guidance on crack repair — including follow-up calls — without ever having paid for a job. This level of after-care appears to be a consistent practice rather than an exception.
