Swimming Pool Waterproofing in Dubai & Across the UAE
Swimming pool waterproofing is essential to prevent water leakage, concrete cracks, and damage to surrounding areas. In the UAE’s extreme heat, pools are under constant stress, making waterproofing one of the most critical parts of construction or repair.
At Salman Syed Technical Services, we use flexible membranes, cementitious slurries, and GRP systems to seal swimming pools from base to walls, delivering long-term durability with smooth finishes.
Why Swimming Pool Waterproofing Is Essential in the UAE
Without proper waterproofing, swimming pools face a high risk of water seepage, structural cracks, and tile popping. Pool chemicals also speed up membrane degradation. Waterproofing ensures complete containment, prevents damage to adjacent walls or decks, and reduces future repair costs, especially in villas, hotels, and gyms across the UAE.
If you notice signs of moisture or wall seepage around your pool area, check our wet area waterproofing solutions for internal water damage prevention.
Waterproofing Methods for Swimming Pools
We choose methods based on pool type, construction stage, and substrate condition:
GRP Lining System
Glass-reinforced plastic system, used for full-body sealing or restoration of old leaking pools.
Cementitious Coating
Two-component waterproofing slurry, ideal for concrete pools before tiling or marble cladding.
Injection Crack Repair
Targeted high-pressure PU injection, used to stop active water leakage through pool walls or floor.
PU Coating (under screed)
Flexible polyurethane base layer, applied to absorb movement and resist cracks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does swimming pool waterproofing cost in the UAE?
Depending on the system, pool size, and surface condition, it usually ranges between AED 50 to AED 150 per sqm.
What’s the best waterproofing system for a swimming pool?

Can you fix a leaking swimming pool without removing tiles?
In many cases, yes, using crack injection or localized sealing without full tile removal.
