Our seasoned experts follow a systematic six-step approach, to ensure we find and repair your leak in the most efficient way possible.
We start with a phone call to discuss the symptoms of the leak and gather information about your pool.
Our technicians will visit your property to conduct a thorough visual inspection of the pool, plant room, and surrounding area.
We will pressure test the pipework to and from the pool to identify any leaks in the plumbing.
Using a combination of dye testing, electronic leak detection, and other specialist equipment, we will pinpoint the exact location of the leak.
Once we have found the leak, we will provide you with a detailed report of our findings and a no-obligation quote for the repair.
Upon your approval, our skilled technicians will carry out the necessary repairs to the highest standard, ensuring a lasting solution.
Our expert pool builders also specialise in a complete range of pool repairs, including:
The "plant room" houses the essential equipment that keeps your pool running. Experts can repair or replace any component of this system, including:
Pump Repairs and Replacement: The pump is the heart of your pool's circulation system. Repairs can address issues like strange noises, reduced water flow, or a complete failure to turn on. This can involve repairing the motor, seals, or impeller.
Filter Repairs and Media Replacement: A malfunctioning filter will result in cloudy or dirty water. Experts can repair or replace all types of filters (sand, cartridge, or diatomaceous earth). This includes changing the filter media (e.g., a sand change), which is recommended every 3-5 years.
Heater and Heat Pump Repairs: If your pool water isn't heating correctly, specialists can diagnose and repair all types of heaters, including gas, electric, and heat pumps. This can involve fixing ignition failures, thermostat issues, or problems with the heat exchanger.
Chemical Dosing System Repairs: Automated chemical dosers ensure your pool water is correctly balanced. Experts can repair or recalibrate these systems to ensure accurate and safe water treatment.
Pipework and Valve Repairs: Beyond leaks, the pipework and valves in the plant room can suffer from blockages, cracks, or general wear and tear.
These repairs relate to the physical structure of the pool itself:
Liner Repairs and Replacement: For vinyl-lined pools, experts can patch tears and punctures. For more extensive damage or an old, faded liner, a full liner replacement is a common expert service.
Concrete and Gunite Pool Repairs: This includes repairing cracks in the pool shell, which is crucial to prevent leaks and further structural damage. Experts use specialised epoxy resins and other materials for a durable fix.
Fibreglass Pool Repairs: Specialists can repair cracks, blisters (osmosis), and surface damage on fibreglass pools.
Tile and Grout Repairs: Loose, cracked, or missing tiles and deteriorating grout are not only unsightly but can also lead to leaks and be sharp to the touch. Experts, including qualified divers, can even carry out these repairs underwater.
Coping Stone and Surround Repairs: Damaged or loose coping stones around the pool edge are a safety hazard. Experts can re-bed, repair, or replace these. They can also address issues with the surrounding patio or decking.
Pool Renovation and Resurfacing: For older pools, a complete renovation might be necessary. This can involve resurfacing the interior with materials like Marbelite, PebbleTec, or a new tiled finish.
Automatic Pool Cover Repairs: These complex systems can experience mechanical or electrical faults. Experts can repair the motor, tracks, and the cover fabric itself.
Roller and Manual Cover Repairs: Even simpler manual covers and their roller systems can break and require professional attention.
Underwater Lighting Repairs: Faulty underwater lights are a common issue. Qualified electricians can safely repair or replace these, often without draining the pool.
Ladder and Handrail Repairs: Ensuring these are securely fitted is a matter of safety. Experts can tighten or replace fittings.
