Upon registering our self funded fixed leaking pool installed by Classic pools, we discovered by Monash Coty council that the building permit we paid for was NOT lodged by this dodgy company. We paid the lodgement fees but the permit was not lodged on our behalf. In short, they installed the pool without the relevant permits. We are now facing… Read more
retrospective costs. Either Craig or one of their employees at Classic pool’s Springvale have pocketed our money because there was never a permit issued, despite them proceeding with the installation What an absolute nightmare. Steer well clear people. Stay well clear
I'm very grateful to the assistance I received from Dean. I moved into a new property with a 12,000L above-ground "clipper pool" in the backyard. I had never owned a pool before and, after seeing many websites, felt more "swamped with info" than competent to manage a pool's water chemistry. I phoned Classic Pools to request a phone chat with a… Read more
staff member to help get me started (a phone call instead of an in-person visit was requested, as I live in the ACT). Dean was amazing! He clearly explained how to manage the required chemicals, including what to add, what order to add them in, and what the ideal maintenance levels are. Due to his wonderful customer service, and going above and beyond to assist me, we were able to have our pool up and running in time for the Australia Day long weekend! I give my heartiest thanks, and I highly recommend Classic Pools.
Our pool was finally installed, and the fiberglass shell was in good condition. However, the installation process was not straightforward. The subcontractor used was unreliable, and the install took longer than anticipated. We were then charged additional costs for hiring the digger for two extra days. While we understand that rock was encountered… Read more
during the dig, we would have expected the necessary tools to be available for such situations. Once completed, the handover process was disappointing. We were missing parts of the pool blanket and the pole for the vacuum, which required follow-up. Additionally, the pool needed specific chemicals to balance the water, but these were not supplied. We were given some chemicals, but not the ones required. Ultimately, I had to visit a pool shop, have the water analyzed, and purchase what was needed to get the pool clean and balanced.

Just another episode of the unfortunate saga we were left with regarding this shonky company who refused to repair or even admit the installation of a cheap fibreglass substandard pool with 3 cracks directly after installation, their constant delay in attending to the issue, me having to source and engage a repair which they agreed and approved… Read more
offering me “a slab” as appreciation of finding someone to do the repair when they said they could not despite being so experienced. $4500 later I had the pool repaired and resurfaced. Avoid this shonky, money driven pack of lazy liars at all costs. Be warned from a tradesman with 27+ years who can pick out shonky run businesses.
Best price in Brisbane for your fibre glass pool requirements. Turnaround on project is quick, and the installation team are very experienced. Show details
Very happy pool owners – We're absolutely thrilled with our new pool! Craig was instrumental in making our first-time pool ownership experience seamless. From start to finish, he patiently answered all our questions, no matter how trivial they seemed. The installation process was impressive - efficient, well-communicated, and swiftly completed. The pricing was also very… Read more
competitive.
For fellow newcomers to the pool world, we recommend:
- Requesting all agreements and details in writing - Thoroughly reviewing your contract - Opting for pool testing strips instead of kits (easier to use) - Verifying vacuum hose length to ensure it meets your needs - Scheduling a pre-handover cleaning
Craig's exceptional service and expertise made all the difference. We highly recommend this company for a stress-free pool installation experience!

Very good service – We are very happy with all aspects of our dealings with Classic Pools. The size and price of the tiled pool we chose was ideal for our yard. Craig and his team have been very easy to work with and last week the crane lifted our pool into place without any problems. After the house renovations are completed the pool will be commissioned and we can’t wait till next summer. Happy to recommend Classic Pools.
Our pool is perfect – From start to finish was nil issue. Everyone from start to finish was great. We had no issue with Craig, Steve, Dave, Bill and the lovely Amanda. We can not thank them enough for what they have all done to have a wonderful pool in our home. Show details
Classic Elite above ground pool going strong after years of use – We purchased a Classic Elite Above Ground Pool back in 2003. We have used it every summer since then without any problems or issues. We are still on the original liner, which although is faded is still going strong. Planning on finally decommissioning the pool after 20 fun filled summers as the liner needs replacing and now that the kids are… Read more
grown up, we don't use it as much as we used to. I would definitely recommend the Classic Elite above ground pools to anyone who is looking for an affordable, long lasting and well built pool.

Worst company ever! – 1 star is too good for this company! 12 months and still waiting for our pool installation! They don’t reply to emails and the installer just continuously feeds you rubbish on when he will do the job!! DONOT buy a pool from this company! Show details
Beware – Installation is not as simple as the salesman claims. Look into this very carefully before paying your deposit as it is not refundable, despite the sales talk being misleading. I feel as though I have been scammed. Show details

Changed my life can't be beaten – We purchased a very large above ground pool front their Logan league store. We built the pool ourselves which probably took longer than having someone else do the construction. The help and advice and guidance we received during construction was amazing. They really know their product. Listen to the advice they give and you will not go wrong. We… Read more
purchased this pool as I have rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis etc I walk everyday in this pool as well as other exercises and this relieves my pain. My grankids and family also really enjoy the pool. Great purchase.
Our Dream has finally come true! – We went along to the Pool show in Melbourne July 2023 This stall was about the 3rd one from start, Bill initiated the conversation and we spoke to both Craig and Bill at great length. > They answered all our questions and more .... lol, very easy, informative and nice to speak to, so we signed up there and then! > I can honestly say they have… Read more

Now the fun begins ... to finalize / complete and do the gardens around to compliment out Pool :-) We cannot wait to start using it, have fun and make wonderful family memories.
Thank you again team Ana & Fernando
Poor quality workmanship, products and customer service – Backfill collapsed around pool after 6 years .engineer report states backfill not of correct mix .. classic pools and their installer says due to heavy rain .. the backfill should not collapse after rain. electrical cables just pulled through the dirt .. not installed as per manufacturer recommendations , struts rusting .poorest quality pool, workmanship and customer service Show details
Classic Pools are fantastic – Thanks Josh you have been amazing. I highly recommend Classic Pools Loganlea, great product and they go above and beyond for you.

very satisfied customer – A huge thankyou to Craig and Jackie from classic pools for making this one of the easiest and smoothest pool installs i could have hoped for. As for Tim and his two sons that done all the excavating and prep work for the pool install you get an extra huge thankyou for going above and beyond what you were required to do. Cannot thank the team from… Read more
classic pools enough. If anyone is considering a pool ,i strongly urge you to speak with Craig from classic pools.
Very happy with final result – Classic Pools went above and beyond to give us a perfect pool. After receiving a less than favourable install with many creases by an independent contractor recommended by Classic Pools, Classic Pools management stepped up and reinstalled the pool liner having it now looking perfect and have been a pleasure to deal with. It is a great feeling to see some people stand by their product and put customers first. Show details

Awesome service and quality product – Mark at Classic Pools Logan made the process so easy from the beginning. Happy to answer all questions and gave up front quote with no hidden costs. Contractors who did the installation kept us informed as to when to expect installation and what to expect. They were so pleasant and gave us instructions on how things worked on handover. Couldn't be happier. Show details

Great company to deal with – Our pool is perfect! Classic Pools is such a great company to deal with. The communication was great, their selection of pools are great and we were kept in the loop the whole way. I would use them again. Show details
Great pool forthe money. Great service – I have only just bought and assenbled this Pool from Classic pools. I did one of the cheaper options of a DIY Vinyl liner pool. The first thing i noticed while unwrapping the pallet was how good the quality of the items like the pump, filter, chlorinator etc looked. Being a cheaper pool i expected the components to be a little budget was very… Read more
pleasantly suprised at the quality i was given. Doing this as a DIY was at times a little daunting but the videos they provide are mostly pretty good (albeit at times a touch long). But everytime i had a question about install or needed additional info regarding engineering docs for council they rectified it instantly. I would definately recommend based on my experiences with them.
product is excellent, overall design good, and pricing very affordable – pool gets used about 3-4 times per week by multiple persons. as a salt water pool the maintenance is minimal. Show details
A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE – The team have been so fantastic to deal with. We have a commercial learn to swim business and had to make adjustments to our new pool to fit within our parameters and absolutely no problems to help us with changes we had to make. The installers that they hand pick are also unbelievably professional and nothing short of helpful to make your project work for you! A wonderful experience all round! Show details
Great business exceeds expectations – We struggled to get quotes and prompt communication with other pool builders until we contacted classic pools. They were amazing, installed our pool without any issues and we can’t wait for the summer to enjoy it. The entire team works in concert and as a customer we felt we were part of a family not just some stranger who pays for a product and… Read more
