The duration of concrete pool surround installation depends on the complexity and scale of your project, as well as the weather and site conditions. Generally, concrete pool surround installation can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

Concrete pool surrounds have many benefits, such as:

• They are durable and strong, and can withstand harsh weather and pool chemicals
• They are versatile and customisable, and can be tailored to suit your style and preference
• They are slip-resistant and safe, and can prevent accidents and injuries
• They are easy to clean and maintain, and can be washed with a hose or pressure cleaner
  They are aesthetically pleasing and add value to your property

Concrete pool surrounds are the best choice but do have some drawbacks that you should be aware of, such as:

• They are prone to cracking and shrinking, and may require repairs or resurfacing over time
• They are susceptible to staining and fading, and may require regular sealing and re-colouring
• They are hard and unforgiving, and may cause discomfort or injury if you fall or hit them
• They are heat-absorbing and can become hot in summer, and may require shading or cooling

The right type of concrete for your pool surround depends on your personal preference, budget, and desired outcome. You should consider factors such as the colour, texture, finish, and durability of the concrete, as well as how it complements your pool and landscape design. You should also consult with a professional concreter who can advise you on the best options for your project and provide you with samples and examples of their previous work.

Before concrete pool surround installation, you need to prepare your site by clearing any debris, vegetation, or obstacles that may interfere with the work. You also need to ensure that the site is level and stable, and that the drainage and plumbing are in place. You may need to excavate, fill, compact, or grade the site to achieve the desired shape and slope. You may also need to apply a weed killer or a geotextile fabric to prevent weed growth and soil erosion. If you are unsure about how to prepare your site, you can leave it to us and we will take care of it for you.

To maintain your new concrete pool surround, you need to follow some simple steps, such as:

• Sweep or hose down your pool surround regularly to remove any dirt, dust, or leaves
• Use a mild detergent or a specialised concrete cleaner to remove any stains or spills
• Apply a sealer or a colour enhancer every few years to protect and restore your pool surround
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that may damage or scratch your pool surround
• Repair any cracks or chips as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration

Some of the signs that your concrete pool surround needs repair or resurfacing are:

• Cracks or holes that are wider than 3mm or deeper than 6mm
• Flaking or peeling of the surface or the sealer
• Discolouration or fading of the colour or the aggregate
• Unevenness or sinking of the surface or the edges
• Mould or algae growth or water pooling on the surface

To repair or resurface your concrete pool surround, you need to hire a professional concreter who can assess the extent of the damage and recommend the best solution for your project. Depending on the severity of the problem, you may need to:

• Fill or patch the cracks or holes with a concrete repair product or a matching concrete mix
• Grind or sand the surface to remove any loose or damaged material
• Apply a new layer of concrete or a concrete overlay to cover the existing surface
• Apply a new finish or a new colour to the new surface
• Apply a new sealer to the new surface
