Come on! Spring is on its way (20 March) and it's time to start getting your pool ready following the cold Winter months. Properly preparing your pool water, plant and equipment will save time and money when you re-open your pool in the Spring. If you're lucky enough to have a covered or indoor pool for Winter use, now is the time to get on with the maintainence of paintwork in and around the pool and pool room areas ready for the months ahead.
Now is an excellent time to put right and paint pools, their surrounds and the plant room. Providing application temperatures remain above 10C and it remains dry, then it’s fine to clean and re-paint. If the temperature drops below 10C when you wish to paint, then please consult our guide "Painting In Cooler Weather" and also see the relevant Technical Data Sheet. If you are lucky enough to have a pool housing and undertake painting and maintenance, then it’s still good practice to open the doors and windows to allow the paint to dry naturally.
British Summer Time is almost here (and it can't come soon enough!). The clocks change on the last Sunday of March every year in the UK, moving forward by one hour. This marks the beginning of British Summer Time (BST). In 2026 the clocks go forward on 29 March at 1am and we will have nearly 13 hours of daylight! As the seasons change, it is important that you are aware of the optimum weather and temperature conditions for maximising your painting opportunities. Links to Seasonal Advice, Preparation and other Guides will remain available from here and elsewhere on our site.
All to often the Spring season brings a mixed bag for painting; regularly cold and damp, meaning paints will not readily nor easily dry out. But there are very often some mild days which may offer a small painting window for solvent-based coatings to be applied and more importantly, to dry and cure! Our A109 range, A1040 Multi Purpose Paint and our Chlorinated Rubber Coatings (R10, RP10, R34, R35) are all suitable for these conditions and are certainly worth having available within your "portfolio" of early Spring paints.
Any prolonged cold and very wet weather from Winter may have left damage to surfaces that will need attention before painting. The freeze/thaw action could have broken down asphalt and tarmac surfaces and blown many poorly protected concrete surfaces such as pools, pool surrounds and roofing areas in particular. Many will need cutting out and replacement sections put in place.

Many of our products are temperature sensitive and have an optimum temperature application range to ensure their best performance. We recommend that you check your local weather conditions prior to starting your project. Visit the BBC Weather Site for your area.
"I just wanted to thank you (I think it might have been Chris that I spoke to) for the speedy delivery and excellent service that you provided. Thought you might like to see a photo of the finished result, the paint was a joy to apply and the colour was perfect. Many thanks."

You should start your seasonal maintenance process by identifying the surface (substrate) to be painted, it’s general condition and what you want the end result to look like (such as colour, texture and sheen). Once you have established your ideal end-result, refer to our Substrate Index for options and take a few invaluable moments to read our Painting Guides - see below.
