Tiles
My pool is a few years old now and I've got a crack through the tile on one whole side of my pool. The crack doesn't seem to be getting worse, but it doesn’t look nice and it is difficult to clean. What can I do?
This type of crack is actually a deck problem. It is most likely that the edge of the deck is on top of your pool wall and these tiles are over the joint. As the deck settles, usually in the first year or so, itcan sometimes cause a crack in, or just below the tile line. When the settlement has stopped, you can either; fill this crack with grout coloured to match the tile or pool surface or knock off the old tile and replace it. Assuming, of course, that matching tile is still available.

One of my Swimming Pool tiles is chipped, I'm worried someone will get hurt but the job is too small for my local swimming pool engineer to call out.
This is an easy repair for you to do yourself. Mix a little 2- part pool putty and carefully form it onto site of the broken tile. You can colour the putty when it sets using a crayon. We stock Tufmix, a brand which we have ourselves used for many years.
The water level stops below skimmers. I can't see anything at this level that could leak.
Look at the inside lip of your skimmer and (where the plastic meets the tile) this is a common leak site which is fully repairable with 2- part pool putty. We stock Tufmix, a brand which we have ourselves used for many years.
