Swimming pool tiling across Scotland, from the Borders to the Highlands.

Pool repairs and refurbishment in Scotland

Scotland has every kind of pool we work on: public leisure and lane pools in the towns and cities, school and university pools, hotel and spa pools in tourist areas, holiday park pools on the coast, and private pools in country homes.

Alongside our pages for Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Stirling, Perth and Ayr, we cover the rest of the country, from Dumfries and Galloway and the Borders to Fife, Angus, Moray and the west coast.

How we plan work so far from base

We start with photos and a short video of the problem areas. They let Dan and Jay judge the likely scale of the job and what to bring, though we always inspect before giving a price.

Then we agree the practical side: when the pool can be drained, who runs the plant during the works, where materials can be stored and how access works. For longer jobs we stay locally rather than travel back and forth.

Islands and remote glens need extra planning for ferries, accommodation and getting materials to site, so mention it early if your pool is off the beaten track.

Closures, seasons and term dates

School and university pools usually need work in the holidays. Hotel and holiday pools in tourist areas tend to prefer the quieter months, and leisure pools often have a planned annual shutdown.

Whatever the window, the adhesive and grout get the cure time the manufacturer asks for before the pool is refilled. Telling us your dates early gives time to inspect, agree the scope and order matched tiles before the water comes out.

Pools with a long history

Some Scottish public pools have been in use for generations and carry layers of repairs from different decades. A loose tile in a pool like that may be a sign of a wider bond failure, so we tap test around it and look for the cause before agreeing how far a repair should go.

Newer hotel and club pools tend to show wear first at the steps, entries and waterline. Either way, sharp or lifting tiles are a safety issue and should be closed off and reported straight away. Keep any spare original tiles, because they make a repair much easier to match.
