We Build, Renovate and Repair Pools

Founded in 1981 Pacific Pools is a second generation family run business, with over 1000 pools in East London.

About Us

Pacific Pools was founded by Mike Godfrey in 1981, who matriculated at Selborne College and studied building construction for three years at P.E Technicon. He then went on to work for two major building construction companies for 11 years before venturing out on his own. In 1981 he decided to “jump in the deep end” and began what is now a long-standing family run business with a great reputation for quality, passion and most of all experience.
We assist you with designing and building your new pool, or renovating and altering your existing pool. We also cover all pool repairs, from structural to filtration.
We are proud members of the NSPI since 1989 (National Spa and Pool Institute of South Africa), which insures high standards of materials used and service given.

Our years in the industry are testament to the fact that we have the experience needed to customise your pool to suit your lifestyle and family’s needs.

We will ensure all aspects of this process are addressed and that you receive all the benefits of a well-designed pool, such as: aesthetic flow from your home and garden, carrying the look and feel through to the pool; increased property value; peace-of-mind going forward knowing every aspect has been well thought through and executed.
We have a core staff complement who we have trained and are skilled in their fields within the pool construction process. Many of them have been with us for over 30 years.
Our sites are personally supervised. The company has been transitioning over the past 5 years to the point where it is now being skillfully run by Mike’s son, Steve Godfrey. Steve has kept the business going strong and the family proud.

Ever mindful of this, we work closely with our clients to ensure their needs are well-understood and interpreted – with awareness of how the pools we build contribute to personal lifestyle preference and aesthetics of your home or public space. All our pools are built using NSPI approved machine-guniting. There is no substitute for a well gunited pool.

What is gunite?

Gunite is a process involving a mixture of Portland cement and sand thoroughly mixed dry, passed through a cement gun and conveyed by air through a flexible tube, hydrated at a nozzle at the end of such flexible tube and deposited by air pressure in its place of final repose.
When properly mixed and applied, Gunite is extremely strong, dense and highly resistant to weathering. Why gunite?
- Strong and durable
- High level of compaction
- Low rate of shrinkage
- Material is homogeneous in nature

I can honestly say the whole experience of having my pool installed by Pacific Pools was fantastic. I would recommend them to anybody. Steve and his team go out of their way to accommodate their customers.

They are quick, efficient and did exactly as they said they would do. They also cleaned up after the job was complete. Today, I have a beautiful swimming pool, which my family love. I will always use Pacific Pools and would recommend them above anybody else.

Fantastic!

Mathew Hartwig

Thank you for our perfect pool. The workmanship and attention to detail, as well as the valuable advice received from Steve, with his hands on experience and layout ideas have really added value to our property and our lifestyle. The neatness of the finishes and the care taken when working on site made the project a pleasure, I can’t believe how tidy everything was kept. Everything was done on time and I was kept informed throughout the process. The additional paving I requested was laid with the same care and skill and finishes off the pool perfectly. Thank you once again for the awesome pool. Maybe you can change the company name to Perfect Pool

Perfect Pool!

Malcolm Klein

I wanted to congratulate Pacific Pools on providing such a professional and comprehensive service. Our family is extremely happy with the outcome, the pool is beautiful and we are pleased with the design and advice we received all the way through the process. We now have the amazingly beautiful pool we envisioned from the beginning, and one that is most certainly a centre piece of the yard. Pacific Pools is highly recommended for anyone that is looking to build or renovate a pool

In 2015 we decided to give our slightly out dated, curvy shaped pool and pool area a facelift. We spoke to friends and asked around for recommendations for a reliable, punctual and thorough pool contractor. The Pacific Pool name came up, with only positive comments and I contacted Steve for a quote. We met on site and exchanged ideas and within a short time we had our quote. We gave the go ahead and watched the pool area transformed to a modern, practical and neat extension of the living are. Throughout the project Steve communicated with us, always letting us know and never impatient with questions or changes. The staff were always dressed neatly and did not wreck the rest of the property. On site portable toilets were made available. The whole team showed a proud work ethic. I would recommend Pacific Pools to anyone who wants the job done properly. Over the past five years we have done several building related jobs on various properties with various contractors and Pacific Pools definitely stands out. Great job Steve and his team!!!!

Highly Recommended!

Gerrit and Esti Potgieter

We would like to commend Steve and his whole team from Pacific Pools in East London for their professionalism and reliability. They installed a new pool at our holiday house in Morgan Bay in 2016. We found the service very personal and Steve was most accommodating with the amount of time he spent with us choosing the right design and tiles. His advice on every little detail was spot-on and our pool looks magnificent, and it is one of the most aesthetically pleasing features of our house. We highly recommend Pacific Pools to anyone looking for a pool service company they can know, like and trust!

Reliable!

Kenneth and Santi Tucker

We found working with Pacific Pools a pleasure. They were professional, always on the job early and were the last contractors to leave. Their workmanship was meticulous and we are delighted with the end result, our pool has ended up being the talking point of our renovation. We can definitely recommend their services

Such a Pleasure!
