Swimming pool tiling in Newry, between Belfast and the Mournes.

A city on the corridor

Because Newry is within easy reach of Belfast, an inspection here can sometimes be lined up with other visits in Northern Ireland. It does not change how we price your job, but it can make it easier to find dates that suit you.

We still do not quote from photos alone. Photos help us judge what to bring, and the price follows once we have seen the pool.

Hotel and holiday pools around the Mournes

The Mournes, the Ring of Gullion and the shores of Carlingford Lough bring visitors all year, and hotel, spa and holiday pools in the area work hard through the busy months. Steps, entries and the waterline usually show wear first.

If your pool is busiest in summer, it pays to plan work for a quieter spell. Tell us your preferred window early so the scope and materials can be settled in good time.

Surrounds and wet areas

Poolside walkways, channels and changing rooms often wear alongside the pool itself. Tiles around the edge take constant foot traffic and cleaning, and a single loose or sharp tile on a walkway is a slip and trip risk.

We can look at surrounds and changing areas on the same visit, so you know whether to tackle everything in one closure or phase the work.

Where the first faults usually appear

On most pools the first trouble shows at the steps, the waterline and the pool edge, where bathers, cleaning machines and changes in water level all take their toll. Grout washes out, tiles lose their bond and corners chip.

Catching that early keeps a repair small. A photo sent over when something first looks wrong costs nothing and helps us tell you whether it can wait for a planned closure.
