Frequently asked questions

Hiring pool builders

How much do pool builders typically charge?
Pool building and repair costs vary widely by job type and complexity. New in-ground pools, renovations and structural repairs each require different labour, materials and equipment, with pool size, site access and finishes strongly affecting the total. The live pricing shown on this page can help you compare quotes.
Do pool builders charge call-out fees?
Call-out fees are common for attendance, initial diagnostics and minor repairs and are typically charged in addition to hourly labour and materials. After-hours attendance often attracts higher rates. It's worth confirming any call-out or minimum charge when requesting quotes.
Do pool builders need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Pool builders generally need a state pool builder licence or appropriate building contractor registration in Australia, and in NSW this work is regulated by NSW Fair Trading. You should expect a provider to show a valid state licence or registration on quotes and evidence of public liability insurance.
Do I need a licensed Pool Builder in Western Australia?
In Western Australia, this kind of work generally must be carried out by an appropriately licensed professional. When you compare pool builders in Western Australia on SureQuote, you can check the credentials each business has provided before you choose.

Using SureQuote

Is the SureQuote estimate a quote, and why can a tradie's quote be different?
No. Your estimate is a guide price for a typical job that matches your answers. A tradie prices your actual job in their quote, once they've seen things like access, condition, materials and the full scope. Read the full answer
What happens after I submit my job, and how many tradies will contact me?
We email you your estimate and a link to your job. Up to 3 local tradies can take it and contact you to quote; only they get your name, phone and email, and you choose who to hire, if anyone. Read the full answer
Is it free to get quotes, and does the tradie's fee raise my price?
Yes, getting quotes is free and you don't have to hire anyone. Tradies pay us a capped fee to take your job, and we set it before they quote, so nothing is added to your quote. Read the full answer
Can I add photos to my job?
Yes. Add up to 10 photos in the chat after you give your contact details, or later from the job in Hire, and tradies see them before they take the job. Read the full answer
Do I have to hire one of the tradies?
No. Getting quotes is free, you're never obliged to hire anyone, and you pay only the tradie you choose to hire. Read the full answer
Does SureQuote check tradies' licences and insurance?
We collect each business's ABN, licence, insurance and warranty details and keep them as up to date as we can, so you can see them in one place on its profile. We don't guarantee them, so always check the licence yourself on the relevant licence register before you hire. Read the full answer
