     Bruce and his team were exceptional, they installed my pool to my exact requirements! The pool was installed October of 2022, but it looks exactly as it did then, proof of the mastery and craftsmanship. It is such a blessing in this day and age to find an honest, professional and sincere person and I can vouch for Robust Pools Team, that they are certainly that!

    recommends WOW!!...what a job guys simply awsome.The professionalism..workmanship and attitude of the entire team is beyond reproach. I have had multiple contractors for various jobs on my property over the years some of them have become friends and although all great at what they do I can with clear conscious tell you none of them come close to you guys. Thank you...although the bill has been settled I still feel like I've been gifted the pool 🤣🤣🤣

Dustin also a absolute star. We are extremely happy with our beautiful new pool and paving work. Thank you so very much.

    recommends A short while before lockdown I had decided to refurbish my fibreglass splash pool and contacted Robust Pools and Paving and I was very impressed by the way Bruce gave me advice on the best way to do the refurbishment by recommending I put in a weir rather that the usual inlet jets that come with a Splash/Jacuzzi pool.  Unfortunately I had to wait for the lockdown period to pass before this would happen but I will say that it was worth the wait.  Robust Pool workmanship is excellent and very professional and their staff pleasant and considerate when it came to cleaning up every day while the work was being carried out and I am very happy that my paving was re-laid perfectly.  I can highly recommend Robust Pools and Paving for new and refurbished pools.

Fast, Reliable & Professional!

Bruce and his team from Robust Pools just completed a new installation for us in Kokstad.

From start to finish, it was a pleasure to see their professionalism and attention to detail. His team are very well trained and worked from sun up to sunset.

Anyone thinking of installing a new pool need look no further than Robust.

A fast, reliable, professional installation with full training on how to keep the pool pristine is included. Well done Robust, keep up the good work!!

Hi Bruce and team
It wasn’t the easiest of jobs with delays and problems but you handled it perfectly and went over and beyond your mandate to make sure the pool was perfectly finished.

What a pleasure to deal with Robust Pools. From the very first meeting with Bruce, we knew we had the right company to build our pool. The teams were absolutely outstanding and we have had only wonderful comments from our friends and family. Your professionalism and extremely high work standards can only ensure that Robust Pools goes from strength to strength. Thank you for everything.

Well done to all.

We are very pleased with the Fibre Glass Lining that was done on our existing pool. It looks like a new pool. We would like to commend all the staff that were involved with this job. From the team that emptied our pool, to Stephen and his team that worked on our pool. They were always polite, pleasant to converse with and tidied up after each working day, leaving no mess when our pool was completed.

The “perfect” choice.

We were fortunate to have chosen Robust Pools. We made the “perfect” choice. The one thing that really stuck out in my mind was that your crews are courteous, polite, professional and happy people who enjoy working. Bruce, you are very fortunate to have such good people. Look after them well!

Thank you and Well Done!

Dear Bruce. Thank you for the professional manner and diligence you demonstrated in measuring up the work and presenting your quote. Your explanations were thorough and informative; however, we regret to inform you that your quote was unsuccessful as the cost was also a very important factor in our decision. I would still like to take the opportunity to recommend your company to others seeking the same services because of your punctuality and the obvious pride you take in your work.
