Miranda is classic Shire family territory. Behind the post-war brick homes on the quieter streets away from Westfield, there are hundreds of backyard pools that went in through the 70s, 80s and 90s. Many are now on their second owner, and plenty have never been properly renovated. If your interior feels rough underfoot, stains will not scrub out, or the waterline tiles are letting go, the pool is telling you something.
Miranda's duplex boom adds another angle. When an older home with a pool sells for a knockdown or a dual occupancy, the pool either goes or gets kept and brought up to standard. The renovators we work with handle both ends: making a tired pool a selling feature, and renovating a kept pool so it suits the new build.
Common pool jobs in Miranda
- Resurfacing 70s to 90s concrete pools in modern pebble or quartz
- New waterline tiles and coping to lift a dated pool
- Green pool recovery on homes that sat empty during a sale or build
- Barrier repairs ahead of a sale, a frequent request in Miranda
- Equipment upgrades, with old single-speed pumps swapped for efficient models during a renovation
When selling in NSW, the contract must include a certificate of compliance, a relevant occupation certificate, or a certificate of non-compliance. See pool compliance.

Frequently asked questions
My Miranda pool is from the 1980s. Is it worth renovating or should I fill it in?
If the shell is sound, renovating is usually far cheaper than removal and reinstatement, and a renovated pool adds appeal in a family suburb like Miranda. A renovator can assess the shell before you decide.
We are building a duplex and keeping the pool. What needs to happen?
The pool must stay compliant through the build and meet current fencing standards at completion. Builders' traffic is also hard on pools, so many owners schedule the renovation after the main construction finishes.
How long does a resurface take?
Most straightforward resurfacing jobs run one to two weeks from drain-down to refill, weather permitting. Tiling and coping work on top of that extends the timeline.
