Century Pools created a stunning pool - love it ! – Dean was able to achieve the impossible and install an absolutely gorgeous pool in very difficult conditions. I have a very steep block with narrow access, powerlines etc. No one else said it could be done. Mel and Dean have a team of true professionals and fantastic people (at every stage) who all take pride in the quality of their work. The boys are all very considerate and a happy team. Special thanks to Megan. Show details

No after sales service – They put the pool in okay without any problem, but don't expect any help after that if you have a problem, eg your pool is leaking... they won't come to your aid. We have contacted them a few times and they don't follow up.. avoid Show details

Mel and Dean, our saviours – After we got robbed by pure excavations who were the contractors for Leisure Pools South Brisbane Mel called me the day after she heard about it. She told me Barrier Reef Pools would like to finish our pool.. I told her, we have no money left, he's taken it all... she said she didn't want money, all she needs is a pool shell. We didn't have this… Read more

either. But the loyalty that they showed towards us was enough. These people told us before we went to leisure pools that there was no chance we would get a pool before Christmas where leisure pools said yes. Terrible mistake... Mel and Dean got our business. When we got the money back from QBCC (Luckily) Barrier Reef booked us in. And even though they were booked out for months and months they fast tracked our pool (because we had a massive big hole in the ground that was getting worse and worse everyday) it was a major safety issue for our 2 young kids and our fur babies too! As soon as work started Dean and Mel were both fantastic at communicating, any questions I had I could text or call anytime of the day and I would get an instant response. Nothing was an issue with them... nothing... they were our saviours. Honestly, the nicest people anyone could ever meet and absolutely no bull talk... our pool was installed in time (apart from the rain periods) they looked after the temporary fence hire after the 5 week period, gave amazing advice on out tile choice, gave us a bigger pool than the old contract and a fantastic price and threw a couple of things in for free!! I would highly recommend Barrier Reef Pools Loganholme, there's a good reason they are booked for months. The quality of workmanship, the honesty and the reliability that we received was second to none. 100% in love with our transformed yard which sat as a dam for 10 months because of a selfish, greedy company. Mel and Dean, we thankyou so much, honestly from the bottom of our hearts. Best pool company ever!

Wish I had my time over – Up until all the money had been paid they couldn’t have been more helpful, unfortunately that’s where it ended. After completing the job they left a big crate full of rubbish and pipe off cuts and empty chemical bottles in the yard which they assured me they would come back and take away, despite several phone calls they never did. Then a couple… Read more

of months ago Our filter stopped working properly so we contacted them as it is under warranty and have been given nothing but the run around. We have sent the details they wanted twice, called and sent emails but nothing has been done despite many promises that they would get someone out to have a look, John doesn’t even answer my calls anymore. I have been in retail for many years and have never seen a business ignore a customer like this. I did not write this review lightly as barrier reef have also been a customer of mine, but I would rather lose their business than be treated the the way they have treated us.

What an amazing team!! – From the very first phone call I made to Barrier Reef Pools they were unbelievably helpful and informative. We did everything back to front, consequently we had just had a deck installed which blocked our access for the pool entry, as any machinery would have smashed it. Our pool was difficult as there was limited access, but not for Dean, Colin… Read more

and his team, straight up Dean advised that we could a crane in to lift the pool and the digger in. I was amazed as I thought this wasn't possible. The team he has surrounded himself with, were all so helpful, nothing was too much trouble and just a great bunch of guys. A special mention to Colin, Jesse and Grant they were unbelievable. The pool has been in now for 3 months and as my husband is a Pool Technician himself he is fully aware how much pools can cost to run, our pool is costing hardly anything to run, probably due to the fact that they supply quality filtration and chlorinators. I have recommended Dean and his team to many of my friends and would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Professional fast team, good quality product – We bought the Majestic pool from BRP and it was installed in Oct 2019. I’m a Professor of advanced composite materials engineering, so I did my homework on the gelcoat and BRP are now using one of the best Allnex gelcoats on the market. I inspected the pool when it arrived on the truck and the build quality was excellent. Three teams do the… Read more

install all coordinated by Dean. Dean is fast to respond to requests and try’s to accommodate any date requests. The ground works team (Tony) were super fast and had the pool dug and place in the hole in one day - even on the tricky site. The plumbing and fill team were also just as fast. Coping tile team came a week later and the basics of the pool were complete - that’s all I required from BRP. All up, BRP completed their activities within 4weeks. I wanted to save a little money and did the landscaping and fencing myself - I have my own excavator. All in all, we’re very happy with the pool and the kids now think I’m the best dad in the world :)

Great overall services – This company has gone over and above normal standards. Rain has caused all sorts of issues and problems but Dean and his team at Barrier Pools have done outstanding job in getting pool finished. Even working weekends. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Beautiful pool – I recently had the Olympic 7-meter pool installed. I had many questions being a first-time pool owner but the crew at Barrier Reef were very helpful and answered all of my questions. Mel was super patient as I chose the colours for the pool and tiles and has promptly sorted out minor issues that arose. Thank you Mel. Everything went to plan with the installation and the pool exceeded my expectations. I am very happy with the pool. Show details

Great Experience!! – This was our first Pool and we have always wanted one. When we built a new home, I researched many pool companies, decided on fibreglass and got a few salespeople out to discuss what styles that had available. From the start Dale from BRP was not pushy and answered all my questions without trying to upsell me on everything. Their pool designs… Read more

suited us perfectly. Our interaction with Mel in administration was seamless and without stress unlike administration with our builder. Our build supervisor was Dean and from the confirmation of the installation date we were always kept up to date with email or phone calls regarding each stage of the project. The crew for each stage were professional, efficient and really knew what they were doing. We had our pool swim worthy within two weeks from the start. We could not be happier. If you want a great product , a seamless order and build process and quality workmanship then I highly recommend BRP. Thanks everyone!

Disgraceful pool builder – Dealing with Barrier reef pools in Loganholme QLD has been a ridiculously painful experience. Extremely poor to deal with the entire way and even more atrocious at getting back and finishing the job. The coping pavers were poorly laid and still need to be redone and we are still waiting for the skimmer box lid to be installed despite the pool… Read more

Right from the start we felt included and kept up to date with how the pool progressed. All the trades were highly professional and respectful and the quality finishes are 5 STAR. We did alot of research and spoke to many pool companies and so… Read more

happy we went with Barrier Reef Pools. From Dale who initially came to our home to quote the job to the Project Manager Dean who kept us up to date with all stages, thank you so much for your awesome work and for the dream pool which is now part of our dream home.

Barrier Reef Pools Loganholme – I decided to Build my Pool with BRP Loganholme. It was the most horrific experience from any contractor I have ever experienced. The Contract Signing was the easy part. Salesman was great at communicating, contact was done quickly and to point. I was getting a 10.5x3.5m Pool which the quote amount was meant to be $54 500, The original signing… Read more

was for contract only $21 800, Which I honestly thought was strange and mentioned it. Got told it was how it was meant to be.

During the process of waiting for pool to be scheduled for install as I got promised a date. which never came to be, I asked for extra and minor items to be added. Got ignored for 2 weeks with 0 response. I called there head office, as I was unsure what was going on. This is when I found out all the BRP outlets are just subcontractors to the BRP name. The owner of BRP Loganholme found out I called. I got a phone call basically with threatening words, abusive and down right rude. He said I was throwing his business under the bus and trying to cause trouble. I was ringing to ask what was going on, as I got ignore for weeks. He threatened to Purposely damage my pool and do a bad job, If I did not cancel my contract. I refused to cancel contract, as I wanted my pool before Christmas. 1-2 weeks went on and heard nothing again, Until I got a bill for the Pool shell $32 700. This was confusing to me as it was not on contract. I asked my family and called QBCC and got told, that the deposits mentioned/amount on contract is to be only paid. This is where alarm bells start ringing for me. I ask Barrier reef Loganholme if they could please re do the contract to the correct quoted amount of $54500. I got told from Barrier Reef Loganholme, they will not be doing that. Now my Contract was $54500, but ---The Pool completely installed (with pool equipment, water filled, coping and handover of pool) is $34490 As per quote How can the pool shell alone be $32700??? It was a question I wondered honestly.

I then got told by barrier reef pools Loganholme, "Hi (Name) on the bottom of the quote you will see the terms were 60% of the quote value payable on delivery of the pool shell"

Which is not correct. As my deposit was - $2180 - Excavation $13080.

Barrier reef Loganholme, Refused to deliver the pool, Do any work on my house, Unless I paid them $32 700 before they even arrived to site, to do any work. I tried sorting it out with them, however the conversations were very hostile. I spoke to my partner and we mutually agreed with barrier reef Loganholme to cancel pool. Barrier reef Loganholme, transferred money to account within the hour and a email was sent agreeing to the cancellation.

End result is, I would give Barrier reef Loganholme a - result if I could. Would highly recommend to stay away from them and ensure you check your contract

Great Pool – We love our new pool. Was a quick install and so far so good. The hand over wasn’t with there usual company so there were a lot of things that could have been better explained and the pool wasn’t left clean. But that’s not Barrier Reefs fault. The guys that installed the pool were great. Show details

Highly recommend – I was nervous having a pool installed, wondering if we chose the right company but BRP were amazing! The install was faultless, each crew were polite and courteous. The pool has been installed for 3 weeks and we've swam everyday. We would recommend BRP to anyone.  Show details

Great Pool But After Sales Service Unsatisfactory – Installation of the pool was fantastic had no complaints, [name removed] and his crew were friendly, efficient and very knowledgeable. Pool shell is excellent quality and the tiling was acceptable, plumbing and packaging of pump equipment was very professional. However we were supplied a leaking cartridge filter, the pool edge wasn't sealed… Read more

under the coping tiles and we had to scrub boot marks off the bottom of the pool ourselves by hand with a scourer.

Our major gripe has been getting customer service after the installation. Office has been difficult to deal with and we feel it has taken too long and too many phone calls to have our issues addressed.

A great experience! – We had nearly given up on our dream of a pool overlooking our valley view. Other companies either refused to quote or quoted huge costs to build. Mel and Dean not only gave a fantastic fixed price quote but managed to install on time as promised before Xmas. Great service, great product, great buying experience. If I had to buy another pool Barrier Reef Pools would be my only call.

We love our pool! – Barrier reef provided excellent service and a great product a great price. They even squeezed us in over the holiday period to get our pool swimmable for us as soon as possible after we moved into our new home. They were easy to work with and provided accurate quotes and information. Mel and Dean are are lovely and professional people to deal with. I would definitely choose to use them again. Show details

Gel coat and will not give warranty, should not get even one star – I had a Barrier Reef Pool installed 3 yrs ago, within 12 months had gel coat issues. Have been given the run around by them, do not even bother to return my calls or emails, they make all these nonsense replies on any review sites that they look after the customer and to contact them. I am yet to find someone who has had their pool repaired under… Read more

warranty. Consumer affairs are well aware of Barrier Reef Pools selling faulty pools. If someone has a Barrier Reef Pools installed within the last 4 yrs and is giving them a good review, their being paid. WORST of the WORST pool company to deal with. I am having a sign made for my property telling people about the crappy pools they sell.
