REPAIRS & RENOVATION
Tiling & Pool Projects (UK) Ltd have also recently become an applicator of Aqua Bright/Eco Finish, a revolutionary pool finish that virtually eliminates all of the plaster and paint coating shortcomings
plaster and paint coating shortcomings. It is highly resilient to chipping, peeling and scratching, cures in seconds and is extremely durable. Aqua Bright is eco-friendly as it reduces the use of chemicals to balance pH. Ideal for use in new pool or renovation projects, Aqua Bright is the pool finish of the future and is available in eight of the most popular colours with specific colours available on request (subject to factory approval and surcharges). Pools can be finished in more than one colour should it be required including race lanes, edge definition, non slip coating on access areas or motifs.
It is a system brought over from the USA and is a thermal powder coat finish which is seamless and comes with a ten year guarantee. Tiling & Pool Projects have carried out works for many local authorities, schools, hotels, health clubs and private clients. According to Managing Director Tony Crank, the thing that makes the company different is that clients who have used them always come back. That’s because although they are a small team, they always turn up on time,
work very hard, work weekends and nights, always use well established quality products and finish a job to a very high standard. Tiling & Pool Projects can offer references to prospective clients who can then listen to their comments rather than them telling them how good they are.
The company may not be the cheapest on the market, but as the saying goes you get what you pay for and that includes peace of mind knowing a good job will be done.
REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE THAT WON’T DISRUPT THE OPERATION OF POOLS
Since opening in 2011, the objective of Stockport based Pool Diving Solutions has been to offer underwater swimming pool repairs and maintenance at competitive prices, without sacrificing excellent quality workmanship and the Stockport based company are confident that they have executed their objective thus far. This is reflected in the relationships they have built and maintained with councils, management companies, schools, universities and contactors across the UK over this relatively short period.
A great example which demonstrates the capabilities on offer from Pool Diving Solutions is a job completed at 1escape in Dublin where the company were required to replace 85m2
of de-bonded tiles. With such
a vast area affected, conventional repairs such as a drain down may have been an easy recommendation. However, Pool Diving Solutions’ experience and expertise allowed for the entire operatio n to be completed underwater. In turn one of Dublin’s busiest health clubs was able to remain fully operational throughout the repair process. In addition to their wide range of pool repair and maintenance services, the company also offer condition management surveys and reports. These begin with divers completing a full inspection of the pool tank. The inlets and outlets are examined to ensure they comply with the BS EN 13451- 1 2011, the steps to comply with BS EN 13451-2:2001 and to inspect the condition of expansion joints, channel grating, grout and tiles etc. The inspection is then concluded with a report, which is supported with photographic evidence. The objective of the report is to provide those responsible for
CASE STUDY: MAKE-OVER MAGIC AT BIRMINGHAM POOL When it comes to the fast and effective
refurbishment of an old pool, on site lining is the preferred option for Staffordshire pool dealer, West Midlands Swimming Pools, as this pool in Edgbaston, Birmingham demonstrates. This old leaking concrete pool with a roman end had definitely seen better days and was in dire need of refurbishment. West Midlands Swimming Pools pressure tested all pipework before making their assessment that on site lining was the way forward. West Midland’s Kay Cunningham says:
“We regularly undertake this type of project, in fact on site lining is becoming a core part of our business as it really does transform an old pool in the easiest and quickest way possible. The whole
68 December 2015 SPN
project took about four weeks and gave stunning results.” The pool’s happy owner, Peter James says: “I hunted the internet for weeks looking for the right pool lining but there really aren’t that many choices out there. Then, by chance, I started following a company on social media and the lining they were using was exactly what I was looking for so I contacted West Midlands and they got the boys in to do what can only be described as a first class job! It’s soft under my feet and has turned the pool into a real feature. Amazing results.” The choice of pool fittings can make or break the overall impression of a pool so adding the finishing touches to this pool are Certikin’s attractive Optimus Flow Fittings.
