The People behind your pool

We Love Building Pools. You'll Love Coming Home.

We’re a team who genuinely love what we do. Based in Melbourne’s Bayside, we’ve spent years genuinely listening to families and learning what makes a great pool – not just technically, but in how it fits into your life. What started as a passion for quality construction has grown into something more; we’re in the business of creating spaces where life gets better.

Justin Wellman

Director

“We build lifestyles that people love and homes that people love coming home to.”

With over a decade in the pool industry, Justin is particular about the details and passionate about delivering excellence. His philosophy is simple: every family is unique, every property has its own character, and every pool should perfectly reflect both.

Justin’s approach is collaborative and uncompromising. He works closely with families to create solutions that maximise space, complement architecture, and enhance daily living. When he plans your pool, he’s really designing how you’ll live – creating the spaces where life gets better.

Shannon Rose-Innes

Pool Planning Consultant

“The best pools aren’t just beautiful – they’re the ones families actually use every day.”

Shannon works with Bayside families to figure out what kind of pool makes sense for their life, not just their backyard. She listens, asks the right questions, and guides you through every decision from concept to completion.

Every family uses their outdoor space differently. Shannon’s job is to understand how yours will – whether it’s kids coming home from school, weekend entertaining, or morning laps – and make sure your pool delivers on that. When she comes back to a finished project and sees families living in their backyard every day, she knows it worked.

Jason mortimore

Director

“After 25 years in construction, I still get a kick out of seeing families use their new pool for the first time.”

Jason brings his commercial building background to every Tanzanite Pool project, which means serious project management and communication that keeps everything running smoothly. He’s built his reputation on making complex builds feel straightforward – solving problems before they become issues and delivering results that work exactly as they should.

When you’re investing in your family’s pool, having someone who understands both the technical side and the people side makes all the difference.

How We Work

The Tanzanite Pools Experience

Consultation

Every project starts with listening. What do you love about your home? How do you want to spend your weekends? What would make you smile every time you walk outside? These conversations shape everything we do, from the first sketch to the final handover.

Plan

Every pool is different because every family is different. We make recommendations that enhance your home’s architecture, suit how you live, and work within your budget. No cookie-cutter solutions – just considered plans that feels right for your space and your vision.

Build

We work with premium Nexus fibreglass shells and trusted local suppliers because quality matters. Our experienced team treats every project with care, keeps you informed every step of the way, and doesn’t consider the job done until you’re completely happy.

Dive In

What sets us apart? It’s simple. We care about getting it right. We return calls. We show up when we say we will. We solve problems before they become issues. And we build pools that look as good in ten years as they do on day one.

Recognition We’re Proud Of

When the industry notices your work, you know you're onto something special.

2021

National - fibreglass pool up to $60,000

When this Brighton family’s back yard stayed shaded most of the day, we suggested something different – a fibreglass pool in their sunny front yard. 

2021

Victoria - fibreglass Pool up to $60,000

“Every time we walk through our front door, we feel like we’re on holiday. The team from Tanzanite Pools were professional, polite, and great communicators. We would highly recommend them.”

2022

concrete Pool up to $60,000

This Murrumbeena family wanted a backyard that looked incredible but worked hard for everyday life.

2022

Fibreglass pool & Spa Combination

This McKinnon family had space in their backyard, but it wasn’t being used. They wanted to turn it into something the whole family would enjoy.

2022

concrete pool up to $60,000

When this St Kilda family came to us, they had a clear vision but a tricky site. They wanted a contemporary pool that maximise the limited space on their compact block.

2023

Concrete In-Ground Spa

When this Mentone family approached us, they wanted something special – a pool and spa combination that would work for entertaining, relaxation, and everyday enjoyment. 

2023

Courtyard or small pool up to $40,000

This narrow Mordialloc site could have remained an unused strip along the side of the house. Now an award-winning pool and entertainment area the family uses daily.

We had no idea what we were looking for when we decided to install our pool. We had at least five different companies come out to provide quotes and advice, but Shannon and Justin from Tanzanite Pools were simply fantastic. They explained everything thoroughly, and the finished product speaks for itself. Our pool has been installed for six months now, and they are still happy to answer any silly questions I have. Look no further; I highly recommend them!

We live in Ringwood North and recently had a Unity pool and Haven raised spa installed by Tanzanite Pools. From the very beginning through to completion, the team provided exceptional service and were always happy to answer any questions we had along the way. The entire process was smooth, professional, and exceeded our expectations. We absolutely love our pool and spa and are so excited to enjoy them with our family for many years to come. We highly recommend Tanzanite Pools to anyone considering a pool or spa installation.

We recently had an inground pool installed by Tanzanite Pools at our home in Botanic Ridge and honestly couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. The whole process was super easy from start to finish. The team always showed up when they said they would, communication was great, and the pool was completed within the timeframe we were given. We didn't have a single issue throughout the build. A huge shoutout to Shannon, who was amazing from the very beginning. She was so helpful, friendly, and always quick to answer any questions we had. Justin, the owner, was also fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable, really easy to deal with, and always happy to help whenever we needed advice. The pricing was very reasonable, the workmanship was excellent, and we're absolutely loving our Escape pool in White Pearl. If you're in Botanic Ridge or the surrounding areas and thinking about building a pool, we would 100% recommend Tanzanite Pools.

When I think of Shannon and Justin - and the whole team at Tanzanite Pools - the words knowledgeable, easy to deal with, prompt and honest come to mind. Not only do they know what they are doing but the landscapers they recommend to use are exactly the same, professional and prompt. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing experience with Tanzanite Pools from start to finish. Their pricing was very competitive, and the whole team was incredibly transparent throughout the entire process. No question was ever too much trouble — they always took the time to answer everything thoroughly and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. Justin, Shannon, and the rest of the team were not only professional, but genuinely warm, friendly, and personal. Building a pool is such a big part of creating the next chapter of family life, and they really made it feel like we were investing in an experience, not just purchasing a pool. They took the time to carefully plan everything around our family’s needs and lifestyle. The build process itself was straightforward and stress-free, and the end result has exceeded our expectations. We honestly couldn’t be happier with our pool and would highly recommend Tanzanite Pools to anyone considering building one in the bayside area.

Having always dreamed of owning our own pool, we were initially discouraged when several pool companies told us our backyard wasn’t suitable. We refused to give up, and then we found Tanzanite Pools. The wonderful Shannon visited us and assured us that our dream could finally become a reality. Both Shannon and Justin were fantastic to deal with – they guided us through every step of the process with professionalism and genuine care. On installation day, the entire Tanzanite Pools team worked efficiently and seamlessly, making the experience easy and stress-free. We couldn’t be happier with our new pool and highly recommend Tanzanite Pools to anyone wanting to make their backyard dreams come true. Regards Helen and Tom Tselios

FAQs

Questions We answer daily

Building a pool is exciting, but we know it also comes with plenty of questions. From “How long will it take?” to “What’s the best option for my space?” – we’ve heard them all. Here are the answers to the questions that come up in almost every conversation we have with Melbourne families.

Fibreglass pools typically take 8-12 weeks from consultation to swimming, while concrete pools need 12-16 weeks due to their custom nature. Weather, council approvals, and site access can affect timing, but we'll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout.

Fibreglass pools are pre-made shells that install quickly with minimal maintenance. Concrete pools are built on-site for complete customisation but take longer. Vinyl lined pools use a flexible liner over a frame structure. Fibreglass and concrete pools are your best long-term options.

Most pools require council permits and building approvals. We handle all the paperwork for you, including engineering plans, soil tests, and council submissions. It's part of our service - you don't need to navigate the red tape yourself.

It depends on your pool's size, location, and how you use it. Generally, expect $1,200-$2,000 per year for chemicals, cleaning, and basic servicing. Larger pools cost more, pools under trees need extra cleaning, and fibreglass pools are cheaper to maintain than concrete. Energy efficient equipment will help keep running costs down too. We'll teach you the basics during handover and then recommend you engage a pool service company.

We build pools year-round, but starting in autumn or winter means you'll be swimming by summer. Spring is our busiest season, so booking early gets you better scheduling flexibility. Weather can slow concrete pours in winter, but fibreglass installations are less affected. The bonus of off-season building? You'll beat the rush and have your pool ready when everyone else is just starting to think about theirs.
