Thanks Ill, our pool was a difficult shape and position so the best solution for us was the lovely timber which does have a small gap between it and the pebble crete so helps with sand and dirt but leaves will always find their way in especially if you trees nearby. It looks lovely, we use a long handled gadget with a rectangle pad to recoat every six months depending on weather. We have changed to British Paints Aqua Deck which does a better and less expensive job. Also be careful with any use of real timber up to the edge of the pool as it can leech out and stain your pool. cheers

I’m renovating our 17 yr old pool. The pebblecrete interior is sound so some companies are saying leave it and respray over the top of it and others are saying remove the lot and start fresh. We will be replacing the tile waterline, coping and retiling 65sm of surrounds. Has anyone any advice on the order this should be done and should we remove the pebblecrete. I have never had so much conflicting advice on anything before.

You will need to get quotes and be advised by the pool experts costs can be dramatic

Can I get the coping done around my pool. So it’s ready for use. And then later lay the concrete around the pool and the rest of the tiles?
