At Shotcrete Swimming Pools Ltd, we pride ourselves on a process that’s as efficient, precise, and reliable as the concrete we apply.
With over 25 years of experience in constructing sprayed concrete swimming pool shells, we’ve refined a proven method that guarantees exceptional strength, durability, and accuracy — every time.
Our end-to-end process ensures seamless coordination with contractors, architects, and homeowners, delivering a pool shell that’s built to perform and designed to impress.
Every project begins with a detailed consultation and technical review. We work closely with you to understand your pool design, dimensions, and specifications — whether you provide full construction drawings or conceptual plans.
Our experts assess site conditions, access points, and timelines, ensuring the chosen shotcrete solution aligns perfectly with your project goals. We’ll also offer advice on structural requirements, waterproofing considerations, and reinforcement options where necessary.
We take the time to understand your project before any concrete is sprayed — ensuring a smooth, efficient build from day one.
Once the design is finalised, our experienced team prepares the structural reinforcement — the backbone of your pool shell.
We install high-tensile steel rebar and mesh, precisely shaped to match the pool’s curves, depths, and dimensions.
This stage defines the strength and shape of your structure, ensuring maximum integrity and load-bearing capacity.
All reinforcement is installed in compliance with UK structural and safety standards, and double-checked prior to spraying.
Strong foundations mean lasting results — our reinforcement process sets the stage for long-term durability.
This is where our expertise shines. Using state-of-the-art high-pressure pumps and nozzles, our skilled nozzlemen spray concrete at high velocity directly onto the reinforced framework.
As the shotcrete hits the surface, it compacts and forms instantly, creating a dense, seamless shell with outstanding structural strength.
Our operators sculpt the material precisely to the design contours — forming walls, steps, benches, and other pool features with absolute accuracy.
This process not only saves time compared to traditional shuttered concrete but also ensures unmatched strength and flexibility of design.
Our team’s skill and precision ensure every millimetre of concrete is perfectly placed and compacted.
Once the main structure is sprayed, our team refines the shape and finish of the shell.
This includes trimming edges, smoothing surfaces, and ensuring exact levels for tiling or rendering work that follows.
We liaise closely with your chosen finishing contractors to ensure perfect alignment and surface preparation, ready for waterproofing, tiling, or lining installation.
Attention to detail at this stage ensures a flawless finish once the pool is complete.
Proper curing is critical to achieving the full strength of shotcrete. We follow a controlled curing process, maintaining optimal moisture and temperature conditions to prevent shrinkage or cracking.
After curing, we conduct a thorough inspection and quality assurance check, verifying that the pool shell meets our internal standards for strength, shape, and stability.
Only once we’re completely satisfied do we sign off the structure as ready for the next phase of construction.
Every pool shell we deliver is tested, inspected, and guaranteed for lasting performance.
On completion, we provide full handover documentation, including technical details, curing advice, and any recommendations for future works. We remain available for guidance and aftercare, ensuring your pool project continues smoothly to completion.
Our job isn’t done when the spraying stops — it’s done when your project is ready for success.
