Shotcrete swimming pools & spas

Custom sprayed-concrete pools and spas built to your design across Auckland, Tauranga, Hamilton & Whangarei — any shape, any size, made to last.

Concrete pool shells, sprayed and shaped to fit

The real advantage of a shotcrete pool or spa isn't just how long it lasts — it's the freedom. Because the shell is sprayed against steel reinforcing rather than dropped in as a pre-made unit, you can build almost any shape and size you like to suit your space.

This is the opposite of a one-size-fits-all pool. A sprayed concrete shell cures into one dense, monolithic structure that gives your outdoor area a unique look and feel — and the strength to hold it for decades.

Why choose a shotcrete pool

A sprayed concrete shell gives you design freedom a pre-formed pool never can — without giving up strength or longevity.

01

Any shape you like

Freeform, geometric, lap or plunge — the shell is shaped on site, so the design suits your space rather than the other way around.

02

Built to last

A monolithic, steel-reinforced concrete shell is dense and structurally strong, standing up to ground pressure and water for the long term.

03

Suits tricky sites

Spraying works on sloping, elevated and hard-access sites where a pre-made pool simply can't be placed.

04

Integrated features

Steps, benches, beach entries and a matching spa can be formed straight into the shell as part of the one structure.

05

Your choice of finish

The shell is the foundation for tile, plaster, pebble or paint — so the final look is entirely yours.

06

A true one-off

No moulds, no catalogue shapes — a sprayed concrete pool is built once, for your property, to your design.

How a shotcrete pool is built

A clear build sequence, refined over 20+ years of sprayed concrete work.

STEP 01

Design & dig

We work to your design, then excavate and form the shape — including steps, ledges and any spa.

STEP 02

Steel & services

Steel reinforcing is fixed and plumbing roughed in, ready for the shell to be sprayed around it.

STEP 03

Spray the shell

Concrete is sprayed at high speed and worked to profile, building a dense, continuous pool shell.

STEP 04

Cure & finish

The shell cures, then takes your chosen finish — tile, plaster, pebble or paint — to complete the pool.

Common questions about shotcrete pools

Can a shotcrete pool be any shape?

Effectively, yes. Because the shell is sprayed and shaped on site rather than installed as a pre-made unit, freeform, geometric, lap, plunge and infinity-edge designs are all possible — along with integrated steps, benches and spas.

How is shotcrete different from a fibreglass pool?

A fibreglass pool is a fixed, pre-moulded shape. A shotcrete pool is a steel-reinforced concrete shell built specifically for your site, which means full design freedom and a structure that suits sloping or awkward sections.

What finishes can go over the shell?

The sprayed shell is the structural base. From there it can be finished in tile, plaster, pebble or a quality pool paint, depending on the look and budget you're after.

Do you build spas as well as pools?

Yes — as a standalone shotcrete spa or built into the pool as one combined structure. We cover Auckland, Tauranga, Hamilton and Whangarei for both.
