paint for swimming poolsSummer's Here - Get Your Outdoor Pool Summer-Ready! The sun is shining, temperatures are rising, and it’s finally time to enjoy your outdoor pool! But before you dive in, now is the perfect opportunity to inspect, repair and repaint key areas to keep everything looking fresh and functioning at its best. The warm weather helps to dry out any moisture that’s accumulated over the winter months, giving you the best possible surface to apply paint. However, take care - sudden thunderstorms can quickly ruin freshly applied coatings, especially water-based paints. Always check the weather forecast before starting work.

The Perfect Time for Pool Maintenance & Painting.
Summer is the ideal season for tackling larger outdoor projects such as:

Heat & Paint: What You Need to Know.
With high temperatures, all paint types will dry more quickly - sometimes too quickly. To achieve the best finish and long-lasting results, follow these simple tips:

  • Avoid painting in direct sunlight, especially on hot concrete, metal or tarmac.
  • Paint early in the morning or later in the evening, ideally in shaded areas.
  • Be aware of mud cracking, where the top layer dries too fast, trapping uncured paint beneath.

Do not over-thin your paint in hot weather. Warmer conditions naturally reduce paint viscosity, and further thinning can cause the paint to lose its “wet edge” and dry unevenly.

If your pool or surrounding areas have been exposed to a wet or harsh winter, now is the time to inspect for freeze/thaw damage. Prolonged cold and damp can degrade surfaces like concrete, tarmac, and asphalt. Look out for:

  • Cracks or delamination in concrete.
  • Blown or broken asphalt or tarmac.
  • Areas requiring cut-out and repair before painting.

Whatever the surface or job in mind, we offer a comprehensive range of coatings: from ROOFS to FLOORS, WALLS or PLANT and SILOs, TENNIS COURTS and MUGAs.

We are pleased to receive enquiries of a technical nature. Call us on 01202 295570 or email us with your enquiry. We have a vast range of mainstream and specialist products suitable for domestic or commercial swimming pools and pool environments.

If you are lucky enough to have combined sports facilities, we make Squash and Tennis Court Coatings along with the appropriate Line-Marking Paints. A full range of Specialist Primers and Coatings for your steel superstructures are also available, along with Smooth and Anti-Slip Flooring Paints for all applications.


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.

For other projects, now is also the perfect time to plan external maintenance that require more major repairs and attention ahead of any investment of time in painting. Concrete repairs, wood and metal replacement, gutters, downpipes and roofing etc., will all take time to properly prepare ahead of painting. Our Technical Team have experienced the complete range of variables throughout the seasons in over 75 years of trading! Please draw on this knowledge by contacting us on 01202 295570 or email us HERE. See our useful guide ‘PAINTING IN COOLER WEATHER’, below.


paint for swimming pools at home"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."

If you suffer with “Solar Gain” (greenhouse effect) from a glass, asphalt or metal roof, see our Solar Reflective and Anti-glare products which are available HERE.

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.
