Trusted Pool Repairs in Benmore, Sandton & Surrounding Areas | Call +27 74 764 1553
If you need pool repairs in Benmore Sandton, you’ve found the right people. Norris Pool Services has been fixing, cleaning, and maintaining pools all across Benmore, Sandton, and the surrounding Johannesburg north suburbs for years. We know this area well – the heat in summer, the dust from Grayston Drive, the algae that hits pools near the Sandton CBD every season. We get it, because we live and work here too.
You got a green pool? A cracked tile? Pump that won’t start on a Monday morning? Give us a call right now on +27 74 764 1553 or +27 11 568 6582 and we’ll sort it out fast.
We get calls from Benmore Gardens, Morningside, Hurlingham, Bryanston, and even as far as Rivonia and Kramerville. People find us because we actually show up on time, we give a straight price, and we fix the problem properly the first time.
This part of Sandton is busy. Lots of big homes, townhouse complexes, and apartment blocks near Benmore Centre and the Sandton City area all have pools. Those pools get used hard in the Highveld summer – temperatures hit 35°C and the UV is intense. That takes a toll on pool equipment, plaster, tiles, and chemicals. Then in winter the cold nights can cause pump seals to crack and pipes to leak.
We understand the local conditions. We know which pool brands are common in Norwood, Illovo, and Hyde Park. We stock the right parts so we don’t waste your time driving around looking for spares.
Here is what we fix and handle every single week in this area:
A leaking pool wastes thousands of litres of water and can damage your garden and paving. We use pressure testing to find where the leak is – even underground pipes. We then dig, repair, and seal the leak properly. We’ve done this in gardens on Grayston Drive all the way to homes near Benmore Shopping Centre. If your pool is losing more than 3cm of water a week, call us.
Pump not starting? Making a loud noise? Running but pool stays dirty? These are signs your pump or filter needs attention. We repair and replace pumps, motors, impellers, and filter media. We carry parts for most common brands used in the Sandton area. Most pump repairs are done same day.
After the Joburg summer rains, pools in Benmore and surrounding suburbs go green fast. Algae grows quick when the chemicals drop. We do a full green pool treatment – shock dosing, brushing, vacuuming, and balancing. We also test your water and give you a simple guide on how to keep it clear going forward. No complicated jargon, just plain advice.
Cracked tiles, loose tiles, chipped plaster – these look bad and can hurt bare feet. They also get worse over time if left. We match tiles, re-grout, and patch plaster. For older pools near the Sandhurst and Morningside areas, we also do full replaster jobs when the surface has gone too rough or pitted to fix with patches.
Pool lights that flicker or don’t work are both annoying and a safety issue. We replace globe units and full LED fittings. We also check waterproofing on the light housing so you don’t get water inside the electrical components.
Lots of Sandton homes have moved to salt chlorinators. They are great when they work, but the cells wear out and the boards can fail. We service and repair most popular brands. If yours has stopped producing chlorine, we can usually diagnose it quickly.
We work all over the northern suburbs of Johannesburg. Our team drives through Benmore, Sandhurst, Morningside, Hurlingham Manor, Gallo Manor, Kramerville, Rivonia, and Bryanston almost every day. We know the roads, we know the areas, and we know how to get to your pool quickly.
Benmore itself is a small but busy neighbourhood. It sits between the Sandton CBD and Morningside, right off Grayston Drive. There’s Benmore Gardens Shopping Centre nearby, and many of the residential streets run off Rivonia Road and Peter Place. Most homes here have older established pools that need regular maintenance and the odd repair.
The Highveld weather is tough on pools. Summer brings heavy afternoon thunderstorms that wash debris and change chemical levels overnight. Winter brings cold snaps that can crack pump housings and freeze pressure gauges. We deal with these seasonal problems every year and we know what to look for.
Sandton has one of the highest income-per-capita rates in Africa. That means the homes are big, the pools are often large, and the expectations are high. We match that standard. Our work is neat, our guys are presentable, and we treat your property with respect.
We hear this a lot. Honestly, the best pool company near you is the one that shows up, does the work properly, and gives you a fair price. That’s what we try to be at Norris Pool Services. We’ve built our reputation in the Benmore and Sandton area one pool at a time. You can call us on +27 74 764 1553 and judge for yourself.
First, don’t panic. Green pools happen all the time after Joburg summer storms. Don’t let kids swim in it. Call us. We do a same-day or next-morning green pool service where we shock treat the water, scrub the walls, vacuum, and re-balance your chemicals. Most pools clear up within 24–48 hours.
Do the bucket test. Fill a bucket with pool water, place it on the pool step, and mark both water levels. After 24 hours, compare. If the pool dropped more than the bucket, you probably have a leak. If they dropped about the same, its normal evaporation – which in Joburg summer can be 3–5mm per day. Call us if you suspect a leak – its better to catch it early.
Yes, usually. A grinding or screeching noise means the bearings are going. If you keep running it like that, the motor will burn out completely and cost you much more. A humming noise with no water flow usually means airlocks or blockage. Give us a call and describe the sound – we can often tell you over the phone whether its urgent or not.
In the Joburg summer (October to March), your pool needs attention at least once a week because of the heat and afternoon storms. In winter you can stretch it to every 2 weeks. But if your pool has heavy tree cover or sits close to a property like those near Benmore Gardens with lots of trees, it might need more frequent cleaning.

There are plenty of pool guys in Sandton. We know that. So why do people keep calling us back? Here’s what we hear from customers:
Joburg summers are hot and wet. Temperatures regularly hit 32–36°C and afternoon thunderstorms can dump heavy rain in 20 minutes. Test your chemicals at least twice a week. Backwash your filter more often. Check your chlorine after heavy rain – it drops fast. If your pool goes green, call us straight away. Don’t wait a week hoping it will fix itself.
Joburg winters are dry and cold. Highveld nights can drop below 5°C. Your pool doesn’t need as many chemicals, but don’t neglect it. Run your pump at least 6 hours a day to keep water circulating. Check that pump housing and seals aren’t cracking from the cold. If you’re going away for a long time, ask us to do a winter pool checkup before you leave.
Don’t let a pool problem ruin your weekend or your summer. Whether its a green pool, a leaking shell, a broken pump, or just a pool that hasn’t been touched in months – we can help.
