Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions.
We are regularly approached with a variety of questions by professional swimming pool contractors, architects, builders, paint merchants and of course, swimming pool owners. The following list is representative of some of the queries we deal with on a day to day basis, but is by no means comprehensive! Please email or call us for paint advice on 01202 295 570.
Q: Are the Colour Chart colours on my computer screen accurate?
A: Computer screens do not represent paint colours accurately or consistently as lighting conditions and screen settings vary between monitors. To help colour matching, we do recommend you source a BS4800 or RAL colour card/swatch locally before placing your order.
Q: How do I know that I have all that I need for painting my pool?
A: We have tried to make our website as informative as possible, with User Guides and relevant products to help you make your selections. If you are at all unsure, contact us with details and we will endeavour to make sure you identify everything you require to complete your project. See our Preparation Guide and our Troubleshooting Guide to help you.
Q: Do you keep paint in stock?
A: All products are made to order for our customers, however some standard colours and seasonal products such as Swimming Pool Paints and Tennis Court Coatings are available for dispatch within 24 hours of ordering. We normally keep most white and black finishes on the shelf, in modest quantities.
Q: Can you match colours across the BS & RAL reference systems?
A: We provide a colour matching service and where possible will try and cross match between standard ranges.
Q: Do you have a paint that will smarten up my swimming pool?
A: Yes it’s easy using our A148 Swimming Pool and Pond Paint. Available in many colours, it is non toxic and will give many years of protection.
Q: This may sound odd, but my pool house can get very hot in the summer; can you help prevent this?
A: Try our Anti-Glare Coatings in temporary or permanent finish which will help reflect the sun, keeping your room cooler.
Q: We recently moved house and I would like to paint the swimming pool; have you any advice as I have never done this before?
A: We can advise you with the preparation and painting of your swimming pool. Please download and read our FREE Guide to painting swimming pools.
