Pond Re-lining & Repairs
Over time, pond liners can deteriorate due to wear, UV damage, or root intrusion, leading to leaks and water loss. At Pondaqs, we provide professional pond re-lining services to restore the integrity and performance of your pond without needing to start from scratch.
We begin with a full assessment to determine the source of any leaks and the condition of your existing liner. Once identified, we safely remove aquatic life and drain the pond as required, before replacing the old liner with a high-quality, long-lasting alternative suited to your pond’s size and shape.
Our re-lining process includes reshaping, repairing substrate where necessary, and reintroducing planting and fish to restore the ecosystem with minimal disruption. Whether your liner is PVC, rubber (EPDM), or concrete, we have the tools and expertise to ensure a smooth, watertight finish that lasts.
Re-lining is also a great opportunity to refresh the look of your pond, upgrade filtration or pump systems, and make structural improvements—all handled with Pondaqs’ trusted quality and care.
Rubber Lined Ponds
If its rubber liner, depending on the location and extent of the damage, the fish can normally stay in the pond. The damaged area will be cleaned, dressed, and repaired using custom heat seal patches, the pond can then be refilled right away.
Fibreglass Ponds
Fibreglass ponds will be cleaned and repaired using fibreglass patches, the fibreglass then needs time to set. Depending on the location and extent of the damage the fish may be temporarily housed in holding tanks while the fibreglass cures. The repair will then be rinsed with fresh water and the fish reintroduced.
Life Expectancy
Pond liners don’t last a forever, as a rough guide the average life expectancy for PVC liner is 10-15years, EPDM rubber liner 15-25years, Butyl rubber liners 20-30years.
pond filtration system
Filtration is the heart of a healthy pond, and at Pondaqs, we design, install, and maintain advanced pond filtration systems tailored to the unique requirements of your setup. Whether you have a wildlife pond that needs gentle circulation or a koi pond requiring high-capacity filtration, we’ll recommend the ideal system for optimal water clarity and biological balance.
We supply and fit a wide range of pond filters, UV clarifiers, pumps, skimmers, and aerators from leading manufacturers. Our systems are selected for energy efficiency, ease of maintenance, and compatibility with the size and stock levels of your pond.
