About Adelaide Hybrid Pools

Are you the same company as Pleasure Pools?

Yes. Adelaide Hybrid Pools is the rebrand of Pleasure Pools, the family-owned South Australian pool building business established in 1997. The same team, the same workshop, the same trades, and the same product. The brand was updated to reflect our specialisation in hybrid vinyl-lined pools.

How long have you been building pools in South Australia?

Since 1997. We have built more than 500 pools across South Australia and have an extensive SPASA awards history, including four SPASA National Gold awards. We are 100% SA family owned, operating across metropolitan Adelaide and regional South Australia.

Where are you based?

Our office is located in St Peters, Adelaide. We service all of metropolitan Adelaide and travel throughout regional South Australia for new builds, renovations, and liner replacements. Site visits are arranged when you request a quote.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We are fully qualified, licensed, and insured. We hold Builders Licence No. 279314 and are members of the Swimming Pool and Spa Association of Australia (SPASA). Our work has been recognised with multiple state and national SPASA awards, including four National Gold awards.

Service Area

Do you build pools across all of metropolitan Adelaide?

Yes. We build, renovate, and service pools across every metropolitan Adelaide council area, from the northern suburbs through to the southern beaches and into the Adelaide Hills.

Do you service regional South Australia?

Yes. We regularly travel to regional areas including Murray Bridge, the Barossa, the Fleurieu Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula, Mid North, Whyalla, Port Augusta, Port Lincoln, Mount Gambier, and Clare. If you are in regional SA, get in touch with your location and we will let you know what we can do.

Will you travel to my area for a pool build or liner replacement?

We travel widely across South Australia for new builds and liner replacements. Smaller jobs and routine maintenance are generally limited to metropolitan Adelaide. The best way to find out is to send us your suburb or town and a brief description of the work.

Pool Types

What is a hybrid vinyl-lined pool?

A hybrid pool combines a steel-reinforced concrete or steel-walled structure with a vinyl liner finish. You get the structural strength of a traditional pool with the smooth, comfortable feel of a vinyl interior. The liner can be replaced down the track to refresh the look of the pool without rebuilding the structure.

How does a hybrid vinyl-lined pool compare to fibreglass or fully concrete pools?

Fibreglass pools come as a one-piece shell, which limits size and shape options and requires good site access for delivery. Fully concrete pools offer total design flexibility but cost more and take longer to build. Hybrid vinyl-lined pools sit between the two: more flexible in shape and size than fibreglass, faster and more cost-effective than concrete, and easier to refresh later by replacing the liner.

Which pool type is right for my backyard?

It depends on your budget, your access, the size and shape you want, and how you plan to use the pool. Browse our services or get in touch and we will walk you through the options during a site visit.

Process and Quotes

How do I get a quote?

Send an enquiry through the contact form with your suburb, a rough idea of the pool size or location in your yard, and any photos of the space. We will be in touch to arrange a site visit and provide a written quote.

Do you offer free quotes?

Yes. Initial quotes for new pool builds, renovations, and liner replacements are free.

Do you handle council approvals?

Yes. We manage the council approval process from start to finish, including all engineering and structural documentation. We also coordinate every detail of the installation.

How much does a pool cost?

Pool pricing varies based on size, site conditions, access, inclusions, and finishes. We provide a fixed written quote after a site visit.

When should I book in if I want to be swimming by summer?

Demand peaks in spring and early summer. To be swimming by Christmas, we recommend getting your quote and contract finalised well in advance.

Pool Supplies and Equipment

Where can I buy pool supplies, equipment, or robotic cleaners?

We stock a range of pool supplies, robotic cleaners, filters, pumps, chlorinators, and other essentials through our online shop at pleasurepools.com.au/shop. For larger equipment installations or service work, contact us directly.

Existing Customers

You built our pool years ago. Can you still help us?

Yes. We have continuous records of pools we have built going back to 1997. Whether you need a new liner, a renovation, or repairs, get in touch with your address and we will assist.

Do you stock parts for older Pleasure Pools builds?

We have access to parts and replacements for many older pools we have built, including liners, skimmers, and filtration components.

TESTIMONIALS

Don't Take Our Word For It

Chris and his team did an excellent job.
It was hard yakka especially the pool being very large! Chris is very switched on and very knowledgeable, he will be highly recommended by me. I appreciate him communicating with me the day before entering the property and keeping me informed daily about their plans and activities. Once the guys all left my children jumped right in there.

Cannot recommend them any higher.
The only company to go to if you need to replace the vinyl on your in-ground pool. Highly professional, excellent customer service, brilliant job and all done by a bunch of blokes who are really good at what they do and obviously enjoy doing it perfectly.

We had water in the new pool by day 4!
The team upgraded our leaking and dated Vinyl in-ground pool to a modern sleek, fully automated pool with the benefit of a Naked pool System and robot cleaner. The construction team arrived on time every day and we had water in the new pool by day 4. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a new pool or refurbishing an existing pool.
