Choosing the right finish for a pool deck can be a complicated process. Pool decks need to be safe, of course, but if you’re footing the cost for the luxury of a pool, you’ll want it to look good, too. It’s tricky to meet these demands if you’re just adding a pool to your house — the demands only grow if you’re building an entire water park or community pool.
Most pools are initially left with a basic sealed concrete deck. It’s a hardy material but poorly suited to the task. Concrete absorbs moisture, causing it to expand and compress with the temperature. That leads to cracking, splitting and, eventually, disintegration.
Epoxy coatings protect concrete surfaces from water damage, UV damage and corrosion for a decade at least. As Melbourne’s leading all-service concrete specialist, we can turn your pools into the luxury you’ve been dreaming of.

Safety is a major concern when designing a pool. But it surely isn’t the only one. You must consider style, durability, affordability, and even construction time. That holds true whether you’re installing a backyard pool for your family to enjoy or constructing Olympic-size swimming pools for your whole suburb
To put it simply, epoxy is practically the perfect finish for all pool decks. Epoxy’s particular benefits align perfectly with the aesthetic and practical demands of pool areas. The value of a non-slip pool deck coating is obvious, but just take a look at the range of other benefits epoxy offers.
Wet surfaces and bare feet are a recipe for disaster. Alternative wood and concrete pool decks cannot offer the same level of anti-slip protection our epoxy can.
Epoxy’s watertight surface prevents moisture from seeping into the concrete underneath, protecting it from damage and increasing its lifespan by years.
A poorly protected pool can quickly become a microbial Petri dish. Epoxy’s non-porous surface prevents bacterial growth and can be easily cleaned.
Homes and public pools need a little pizzazz. We can colour-match your epoxy to suit whatever style you like, subtle, bold or branded.
Epoxy is affordable compared to many alternative concrete surface finishes. Plus, our experts can complete your epoxy pool deck resurfacing with minimal disruption to your home or business.

"Policrete made a really cool and complex concrete bar at my restaurant, plus concrete benches in 3 locations. The team was flexible during the renovation."
Public pools and water parks can see hundreds — even thousands — of visitors per day. Epoxy can fortify the surrounding concrete decks so that they can withstand the heavy stresses of the crowd.
In summer, kids run and tussle around the pool. In winter, adults do the same around the spa. Epoxy can help create a safe environment around both all year-'round.

Industry leading professionals complete your project.
Our specialists only work with the best equipment and Husqavarna machines.

Epoxy flooring typically costs approximately $30-$35 per square metre. Additional decorative finishes may raise the price to the $80-$100 per square metre range.
When we provide you with a unique quote, we will also have to consider the scope of the project and its complexity. For example, we may have to prepare or repair your existing concrete pool deck before we can apply the epoxy. Once we clearly understand your project, we will offer a comprehensive quote.
Policrete has been a full-service concrete specialist for over a decade. We’ve installed concrete floors across Melbourne for residential, commercial and industrial establishments. And we’ve done our fair share of epoxy pool decks, too.

While we’re proud of the quality of our work, we’re just as proud of the relationships we’ve built with our clients. We enjoy going the extra mile to create unique solutions. Let’s talk.
Ten years, at least. Epoxy is extraordinarily durable. Not only is it resistant to dents, scrapes, tears ,splits and chipping, but it’s also impervious to the sun’s heat and UV light, and even chemical damage. It can withstand all of that without even fading.
Epoxy does degrade, but only after years of hardy service. Still, its low maintenance costs make it a financially attractive option.
Epoxy can finish in any colour at all. We can even lay logos and directional or safety markings around commercial pools.
We can also give the epoxy a flaked finish, mixing colourful chips of metal, vinyl or paint into the wet epoxy resin as it sets. The result is a beautiful terrazzo-like finish.
Yes. Other styles of pool decking, such as sealed concrete and wood, degrade at much quicker rates than epoxy. Once they degrade, the underlying concrete can absorb water and rapidly degrade. That damage can even begin to affect the integrity of the pool itself. An epoxy pool deck can spare you that financial headache.
