— Or Give Your Existing Pool a Fresh New Look
As the days grow longer and gardens come back to life, spring is the perfect season to turn your swimming pool plans into reality. Whether you’re dreaming of building a new bespoke pool or giving your existing one a well-deserved refresh, acting now ensures you’ll be ready to enjoy your upgraded space all summer long.
Let’s explore why spring is the ideal time to start your pool project — whether it’s a new build or a refurbishment — and how early planning leads to better results, less stress, and more swim time.
Spring Offers the Best Conditions for Construction and Refurbishment
Mild weather, firmer ground, and longer working days all make spring an ideal time for outdoor projects. From excavation and installation to resurfacing and tiling, conditions are optimal.
For new builds:
- Reduced delays from weather
- Smoother groundwork and installation
- Better availability of trades and materials
For refurbishments:
- Dry conditions help with repairs to structures, paving, surrounds and render
- Ideal time to upgrade pool finishes (e.g., re-tiling or re-lining)
- Allows time to fix issues uncovered during reopening after winter
If your pool showed signs of wear last season — cracks, faded surfaces, broken coping, or outdated systems — now is the moment to act.
Time for a Transformation? Pool Refurbishment Made Easy in Spring
Spring is not just a great time to fix winter damage — it’s the perfect window to transform your existing pool into something truly special.
Typical spring refurbishment projects include:
- Replacing worn-out liners or tiles
- Upgrading filtration and heating systems
- Resurfacing for a fresh new look
- Modernising with new lighting, steps or pool surrounds
- Converting to saltwater or natural filtration
- Adding automatic covers or safety features
With early action, you’ll avoid the summer rush — and be ready to enjoy your revitalised pool as soon as the weather warms up.
Avoid Peak-Season Delays
Summer is the busiest time of year for pool builders and refurb teams. By starting in April or May, you can:
- Lock in your preferred schedule
- Ensure parts and materials are available
- Avoid longer wait times for installations or repairs
Whether it’s a full refurbishment or a few key upgrades, beating the rush means a smoother process and a faster turnaround.
More Time for Design and Customisation
Spring offers the breathing room to really think about what you want from your pool — whether you’re building from scratch or modernising an existing one.
We’ll help you explore:
- Stylish new tile options or interior finishes
- Eco-conscious upgrades for heating and lighting
- Redesigned surrounds, patios, or landscaping
- Fresh features like jets, lighting, or water features
The extra time allows you to plan holistically, ensuring your pool complements your garden and your lifestyle.
Landscapes and Pool Surrounds Thrive in Spring
Many refurbishment projects include updating the pool’s surroundings. Spring is the ideal time to:
- Install new paving or decking
- Re-turf or plant around the pool area
- Install new lighting or garden features
Freshly landscaped gardens and patios have time to bed in, so everything looks lush and established by summer.
Get Ahead with Energy-Efficient Upgrades
If your pool is over 10 years old, there’s a good chance it’s not running as efficiently as it could. Spring is the best time to modernise:
- Replace old pumps and filters with energy-efficient models
- Install a heat pump or solar heating
- Add automatic covers to retain heat and reduce evaporation
These changes save money, reduce environmental impact, and improve day-to-day enjoyment — all in time for peak usage.
