All indoor and outdoor pools eventually need updating and renovating to return them to their former glory. The key is to find a pool refurbishment company that has the expertise to embrace new developments in the industry and the latest state of the art technology to deliver a renovation that will last for many years to come.

Swimming pool refurbishment is often a more involved and complex procedure than building the same swimming pool from scratch due to the nature of the original construction process and the type of filtration system that is currently installed. You should always choose a refurbishment company with many years experience.

There are many aspects of pool renovation ranging from basic cleaning to replacing  mosaic glass or ceramic tiles and grout through to a total redesign of the shape of the pool and steps. Beyond the pool itself you may like to alter or build other facilities such as changing rooms, spas, steam rooms, wet rooms and shower rooms.

There are really five main steps to successful pool refurbishment, as follows:

1. Initial Consultation – You can either do this over the telephone or ask a representative to come and meet you at your site. A follow up site visit is essential for measurements and photographs ready for the preliminary proposal of your renovation.
2. Clean – Having chosen your preferred renovation specialist the next step is to empty the water out of the pool and remove the old coping stones, tiles and loose plaster before preparing the area ready to tile.
3. Screed / Render – The area should be fully waterproofed using epoxy resin and chemical resistant paints.
4. Tiling – This is when the whole process really starts to take shape. Once all the tiles are in place the whole area should be acid washed and grouted.
5. Water – Now you can add the water and it is ready for use.
