Pool Renovation on Costa Blanca

Pool renovation isn’t just cosmetics. We deal with structural shell repair — cracked concrete, corroded rebar — as well as pipework leaks, which we diagnose through pressure testing and camera probes. When a pool needs retiling, we always lay a proper waterproofing membrane underneath, because tiles alone won’t keep the water where it belongs. We handle regrouting too, both standard and epoxy, depending on the application.

Over the years we’ve seen pools built from plain brick, pools plumbed with sewer pipe, and shells with no reinforcement at all. Whatever you’re inheriting, we can fix it properly.

Most serious pool problems come down to bad workmanship during construction or materials that weren’t right for the job. Sewer pipe instead of pressure-rated plumbing. PVC joints glued in a hurry without curing time. Concrete shells without proper steel mesh reinforcement. No waterproofing membrane under the tiles.

We fix these problems every week — and we fix them so they don’t come back.

Whether we’re doing a full pool renovation or just replacing tiles, we always apply a proper waterproofing membrane before the tiles go on. It’s a two-component product applied over a reinforcing mesh that covers the entire inner surface. Think of it like a flexible rubber lining inside the concrete shell — even if the shell moves slightly, which over time most do, the membrane keeps water where it belongs.

Concrete alone, even good concrete, is porous. Many older pools were built without any waterproofing layer. We consider that a major oversight.
