Woronora Heights sits on the plateau above the river valley, a compact suburb of 70s and 80s brick family homes ringed by bushland. It was built in the heyday of the backyard pool, and many of its yards still hold the original article, a concrete shell with pebblecrete walls, a diving-depth deep end and equipment that has outlived several owners. Those pools are now at the age where renovation is usually the better-value alternative to filling them in.

Common pool renovation jobs in Woronora Heights
The signature job is a full pool resurfacing of 40-year-old pebblecrete, usually with new waterline tiles and often fresh coping to finish. Sound shells on tighter budgets can take pool painting instead. Equipment upgrades nearly always ride along, because original pumps and filters are loud, thirsty and one summer from failure. The bush edge keeps leaves falling, so green pool recovery is a familiar call after a season of neglect.
What it costs
A repaint is the cheapest route, a resurface the durable one, and the full package with tiles, coping and new equipment the dearest. Pool size and surface condition set the number, so treat anything quoted sight-unseen as guide pricing only and read our pool renovation cost guide first.
Selling your home?
Original owners here are selling to a second generation of families. When selling in NSW, the contract must include a certificate of compliance, a relevant occupation certificate, or a certificate of non-compliance. Fencing from the suburb's first build rarely passes today's rules unchanged, so fold barrier work into the renovation rather than leaving it for the sale deadline. See pool compliance.
Frequently asked questions
Renovate the old pool or fill it in?
If the shell is sound, which most are up here, renovation costs far less than demolition and backfill, and keeps a feature buyers in family suburbs still want.
My deep end is very deep by modern standards. Can that change?
Yes, shallowing a deep end is possible during a major renovation, though it is significant concrete work and priced accordingly.
How disruptive is a resurface?
Expect roughly one to two weeks of an empty, noisy pool area, then refill and water balancing. The yard itself is usually back to normal quickly.
