Major Problems:
There was a leak about 4.5 inches below the top of the pool at the location of the seam between the poured Ready-mix concrete and the fillet that had been trowelled to raise the height of the pool walls to that of the terrace surrounding the pool. There was also a flooding problem during heavy rain in which undermining of the terrace had occurred.
Remedy:
- coping stones and concrete fillet removed to a level of about three layers of tiles;
- render and insulation hacked back to expose original concrete pool shell;
- pool top rebuilt using waterproof swimming pool cement;
- pool re-rendered, reinsulated, and retiled where necessary, ensuring the pool overflowed evenly all round;
- overflow channel cleaned; balance tank walls and floor reinsulated.
Additional Work:
- pump room lid was the wrong design and lacked ventilation – replaced;
- pump room access ladder (old step ladder) replaced with ad hoc ladder bolted to the wall;
- pool access ladder was broken beyond repair – replaced;
- pool electrical was in poor condition – partly fixed, partly replaced;
- pipe work had various weak spots and leaked – replaced.

This project was carried out a few years ago, so whatever its cost was at the time, now it is irrelevant. If you are interested in receiving a quote for your pool repairs, we can arrange an inspection visit.
