Work
Strip-out, floor screed and full retile

What we did

  • Temporary marquee put up over the pool so work could carry on whatever the weather
  • Pool drained and stripped back to its concrete shell
  • Floor patched and screeded, and the wall-to-floor joint bedded in fresh mortar
  • Walls retiled in blue
  • Floor tiled in blue with white lane lines and T-ends
  • Main drain grilles framed in mitred tiles
  • Steps tiled with white non-slip nosings, and wall fittings refitted

The result

A fully retiled outdoor pool, with new lane lines, framed main drains and non-slip nosings on every step.

Previous projects: These pool projects were carried out by Dan and his dad as self-employed subcontractors, before PoolRevive was formed. PoolRevive is our new specialist business, trading under TileTrust Ltd, and we’ll add projects completed under the PoolRevive name as they’re finished.

Send a few details and we’ll get back to you to understand the job. Photos of the tiles, grout and problem areas help us a lot, and you can add them below.

Dan or Jay will be in touch within 24 hours.

What affects the estimate?

  • The pool area and which surfaces need work
  • Joint size and the grout or tiles involved
  • The condition of the tiles, joints and background
  • Access to the pool and the working areas
  • Preparation, cleaning and any repairs needed first
  • The programme and when the pool can close
