Pool Reforms

 

Isn't it time you gave your pool some TLC?

Nothing lasts forever and pools are no exception. . .

When a pool is first installed it all looks lovely; the mosaic tiles with their grout-lines full, the blindingly white marble pool surround, the pool equipment all new and shiny; and not a trace of lime-scale anywhere.

However, a few years down the road the harsh environment of the pool - out in the sun all day and constantly wet - will affect its appearance and those pristine mosaics, the lovely marble pool surround, the sand-filter and the pump begin to look a little tired; even in a well-maintained pool.A slight chemical imbalance during the life of the pool can damage the pool. For example, a too low pH reading indicates acidic water that will erode the grout or, if the pH of the pool has been too high, even for just a couple of weeks, the water can coat the tiles in a layer of rough, unsightly lime-scale.

Pool surrounds are designed to be safe, non-slip surfaces - which provide millions of 'hiding places' for dirt and dust and so the surround gradually changes colour to an ugly, murky, grey/brown.

The decorative border at the waterline becomes coated in lime-scale which absorbs dust, pollen, sun-cream and body oils. These get baked onto the tiles by strong sunlight and the unsightly result is impossible to remove by scrubbing with a pool-brush.

Tiles can and do become chipped, or fall off and get lost, or become detached during vacuuming (these particular tiles usually end up in the pump basket but sometimes they can block an automatic cleaner or a suction line completely).

Missing and/or broken tiles are particularly common on tiled steps, and a broken tile in this area can lead to some nasty cuts to bathers' feet.

Our 'Swimming Pool TLC Winter Make-Over'

The best time to carry out a make-over on your pool is when you have finished with it for the winter.

We offer a full pool reform for 'loved-but-tired' pools, we: -

  • Drain the pool
  • Acid-wash the pool surround and the inside of the pool to remove lime-scale and algae
  • Jet-wash these same areas to remove loose dirt and soft grout, etc.
  • Completely re-grout the pool walls and floor (or repaint it if it's a painted pool)
  • Change the contents of the filter to Zeolite advanced filter media
  • Dismantle, service and re-assemble the pump, renew the pump basket
  • Renew the white plastic main-drain grilles, impulsion-jet fittings, skimmer lids, skimmer baskets, etc.
  • Clean and tidy the pump/filter room or in-ground box
  • Refill the pool from your water supply

The above treatment will leave your pool looking almost brand-new.

Price: - From just €849 plus IVA

 

Before and after Acid Washing

Full Pool Reforms

Many people buy a property with an abandoned pool.  Invariably, the pool needs a great deal of work before it can be used and we can carry out all and any work that may be required.

Full-renovation work of an abandoned pool almost always includes everything listed in the 'Swimming pool TLC Winter Make-Over' above but may also include: -

  • Complete re-tiling of the pool
  • Replacement of the pool surround
  • Repair or replacement of pump, filter, valves and plumbing
  • Installation of Jacuzzi-jets
  • Re-shaping of the steps and/or pool for safety reasons
  • Installation of seating, or play areas for the younger swimmer
  • Construction of a new terrace, shade, balustrades, seating, etc.
  • Anything else required to turn an existing 'swamp and waste-ground' into a dream pool area.

Price: - Starting from just €849 plus IVA

Just a moment!  Isn't that the same price as for a Winter Make-over?

Yes, but some abandoned pools can be brought back to life ONLY with the Winter Make-over treatment.

Other pools may need a great deal more work to return them to service but, whatever the individual case may turn out to be, we offer a fully detailed, Written Quotation (not an 'estimate') of the costs before beginning work - and we keep to that price. Please see 'Important Information' below.

We also undertake reforms and/or installation to poolside terraces and can install tiling, decking, printed concrete, lighting (LEDs or Fibre Optics), misting systems, sound systems, bars and barbecues, shade sails; you name it!
