Sometimes the biggest transformation isn't the pool itself, it's how the space is used. By modernising the pool, improving safety and accessibility, and creating stronger links between the home and outdoor area, this renovation delivered a thoughtfully reimagined space that's made for family life and entertaining.

At Mayfair Pools, we renovate all types of swimming pools throughout New Zealand, from simple resurfacing projects through to complete poolscape transformations. Here are some of the most common questions we hear from pool owners considering a renovation.

Another refurbishment project that no one else wanted to deal with. This pool was fully re-engineered with new reinforcing and concrete work, then finished with modern systems and clean outdoor detailing.

Adding a custom spa to your existing poolscape is one of the simplest ways to elevate both the look and functionality of your outdoor space. Whether it’s included as part of a larger pool renovation or added later as a standalone feature, a spa creates a relaxing, year-round retreat right at home.

When searching for pool installations, many homeowners aren’t aware of the myriad options available when it comes to make their pool dreams a reality. What they do know is they want a swimming pool that complements their home, enhances their outdoor living space, and is built to last.

A bold, design-led poolscape created to match the striking character of the home—balancing high-impact aesthetics with easy entertaining and everyday family use.

Designed as a place to slow down, this pool and spa create a natural gathering point for family life beyond the rush of the day.

As the season cools, it’s got us – and many of our clients – thinking about spas.

Wherever you are in your pool journey – whether you're planning a new pool, upgrading an existing one, or looking for an out of the box solution, there are plenty of ways to create a spa experience at home.

Here are four ways Mayfair can help bring spa living to your backyard…

Once a defining feature of mid-century pool design, the kidney shape remains an enduring classic. This refurbishment honours that legacy — preserving the pool’s iconic form while elevating it with a clean, modern finish and renewed performance.

A beautifully curved custom pool brings flow and contrast to this expansive courtyard. Set within the clean lines of the home and paving, its curvilinear shape breaks up the geometry, creating a more organic and inviting entertaining space.

Set among orderly rows of olive trees and overlooking the winding inlet below, this elevated infinity pool is a direct response to its remarkable setting. Positioned high above the estuary, its orientation draws the eye from grove to gulf, extending the waterline toward distant hills through a clean infinity edge.

Designed for both relaxation and everyday use, this pool and spa combo brings together flexible swim zones, integrated safety features, and a spa positioned to thoroughly take advantage of the remarkable outlook.

Designed as an extension of the home’s outdoor living spaces, this pool balances clean architectural detailing with practical, family-focused features. A generous step and beach-style entry provide an easy transition into the water, while a continuous safety ledge supports confident use for swimmers of all ages.

A backyard retreat where kids can play freely, adults can unwind, and lasting memories are made.

As every Mayfair Pool is custom built and fibreglassed onsite the only limitation to the design of your pool is your imagination. So then, how do you get started? Like any great build, it all starts with clarity and inspiration (otherwise you’ll quickly find yourself bogged down by the endless possibilities). So here’s how to begin your pool design journey with a guaranteed result that is quintessential you…

Not all above-ground pools are created equal. From simple kitset systems to prefab to fully custom pools by Mayfair, there is a huge variety of options and understanding those differences is the key to choosing the right pool for your space. Read on for an in-depth look

Set against a backdrop of rolling farmland and established trees, this rural pool blends modern design with a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. The project reflects a simple goal — to create a space that feels calm, timeless, and blends beautifully with its environment.

Set among the protected wetlands of the Kāpiti Coast, this lap pool complements the sculptural, sustainable architecture of Studio Pacific’s award-winning home.

Planning a new pool? One of the most important decisions you'll make is the type of pool construction. The three most common options in New Zealand are custom fibreglass pools, drop-in fibreglass pools, and concrete pools. While each has its benefits, understanding the key differences will help you choose the right fit for your home, timeline, and budget.
