Swimming Pool Tiling, Mijas, Costa del Sol, Spain

This swimming pool had been abandoned for many years. The condition of the tiles was very bad with no grout, staining and many tiles falling off.

We stripped the existing tiles, treated the cement to kill the algae, applied a coat of render to smooth the surfaces, then retiled using glass mosaic tiles.

Total Swimming Pool Renovation, Costa del Sol

This is a total renovation of an old swimming pool. The prefabricated pool surround was breaking up and was painful for people to walk on. The inside of the pool was painted. After 30 years of paint being applied, it was looking a mess and the paint was starting to come off in patches.

The first thing that we did was to demolish the existing pool surround. This waste was removed to a treatment plant.

The swimming pool was then drained and allowed to dry a little ready for the sand blasting. The sand blasting removes all the loose paint back to the original render and ensures that the new tiles will be well stuck.

The surround is made from very hard white concrete. We build shuttering and then pour in the mix. Once it starts to set, we float it to level the stones in the mix. This creates a smooth, yet non slip surface. Once the concrete is fully set we remove the shuttering, polish the edges and make expansion cuts.

The last stage was to tile and grout the pool. In this pool the choice was high quality AlttoGlass mosaic tiles from the North of Spain.

As you can see, the results of this 5 day project are stunning.

Complete Tiling of a newly renovated pool for clients in Ronda.

The pool structure was completely stripped back to a bare shell and then tiled in high quality glass mosaic tiles.

The very deep pool was made shallower by pouring concrete.

Another complete reform hours away from completion.

This swimming pool is situated on the outskirts of Ronda next to the famous Ascari racing circuit. We raised the floor level, waterproofed the whole pool and retiled. Less than 5 days start to finish!

Swimming Pools

Very deep swimming pool made shallower and completely renovated

A common complaint of our customers is that their pools are too deep. This is something that can easily be rectified as part of the reform project. Very deep pools are most often found in older houses, built in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

Making a swimming pool shallower has several benefits, in both comfort and practicality. It can be seen to be safer if the majority of people can keep their head out of the water. It is more enjoyable playing games in the pool if everyone can stand up.

The pool will warm up faster if it is shallower. Water bills will be less when the pool is filled. Running costs are less, as less volume of water to treat with chemicals. Future maintenance bills should be less with less square meters of tiles.

The process of reducing the depth is to first ensure the drain is raised up correctly, using proper fittings. Any areas where the new concrete will meet old tiles, these must be stripped back to allow the new concrete to join the old. Once this work is done, concrete can be poured to raise the level. After this sets, we can render the floor to make the appropriate levels.

Once all the levels are correct in the base of the pool, the entire structure is skimmed with render to provide a uniform surface for the new tiles.

The pool is tiled using adhesives especially for swimming pools. These adhesives have additives in them that allow them to stay under water without breaking down and cope with chemicals.

The final stage is to grout the tiles and install new cosmetic pieces where needed. The entire renovation normally takes about a week for a team of our builders.
