Survey First, Then The Right Fix
Every refurbishment starts with a survey. We find out how the pool was built, check the waterproofing and look for cracking or movement in the structure. Some faults only show once the pool is drained or the old finish is opened up, so where it's needed we look deeper. It costs a little more up front, and it's what stops nasty surprises halfway through.
It's also the moment to make the pool cheaper to run. We look at the filtration, heating, pumps and pipework, and where the inlets and outlets sit, and recommend the upgrades that will make the most difference to your pool.
Four Ways To Bring A Pool Back
- 01
Repair
Where the structure is sound, we put right what's failing, from leaks and loose tiles to filtration.
- 02
A New Shell Inside
We build a new shell within the existing pool, then waterproof and finish it as we would a new build.
- 03
Rebuild
When the survey shows the structure has had its day, we take it back and build it again.
- 04
On-Site Welded Liner
Heavy-duty reinforced vinyl, cut and welded in place to fit your pool exactly. It can also add new skimmers, lights, suction points or steps without rebuilding the shell.
What A Refurbishment Can Cover
- A survey of the structure and waterproofing
- Leak finding and repair
- New liners, with new skimmers, lights, suction points or steps
- A review of pumps, pipework and inlet and outlet positions
- Retiling in mosaic, porcelain or natural stone
- New safety edging and feature walls
- Filtration and heating upgrades
- Automatic covers
Guarantees In Plain Numbers
Every new build comes with written warranties on each stage of the work. Refurbishments carry a 3-year warranty on render, tanking and cement-based grout, extended to 5 years with epoxy grout. The existing structure isn't covered, which is why every refurbishment starts with a structural survey.
- 10Years on sprayed concrete shells
- 3Years on render and screed
- 3Years on tiling with cement grout
- 5Years on tiling with epoxy grout
Recent Work
Can you refurbish my existing pool?
Yes. We start with a survey of the structure and waterproofing. Depending on what we find, we'll repair it, build a new shell inside the old one, rebuild it, or fit a new on-site welded liner.
Do you need to drain the pool for a survey?
Not always, but some faults only show once the water is out or the old finish is opened up. Draining needs care, especially where there's groundwater pressure, so it should only be done by someone experienced.
How long does a pool liner last?
Usually 10 to 15 years, depending on the quality of the liner and how well the water chemistry has been kept. An on-site welded liner can also be a chance to add new skimmers, lights, suction points or steps without rebuilding the pool.
What warranty do I get?
On a new build: 10 years on the sprayed concrete shell, 3 years on render and screed, and 3 years on tiling with cement grout, rising to 5 years with epoxy grout. On a refurbishment: 3 years on render, tanking and cement-based grout, extended to 5 years with epoxy grout. The existing structure isn't covered, which is why every refurbishment starts with a survey.
