Advice on swimming pool tiling

[white doves]

Hi fellow tilers, got a swimming pool to tile, last pool i worked on was about 7 years ago, just needing advice on suitable adhesive, grout and pricing. Does the render/screed need prep of any kind etc. Any help would be gratefully appreciated, cheers, Alan

Cant help you with the pricing bud, that happens in a closed forum.

What adhesive do you usually use?

Welcome to the forum by the way.

thank you mate, would normally use Ardex x7 white, as for grout not quite sure, so many say suitable for swimming pools but how suitable are they?

[diamondtiling]

You cant go wrong with Ardex adhesive and grouts, they produce superb products.
As for prep work to the render have you seen it and if so does it require any work?

The rendering and screeding hasn't been done yet, i'm thinking 4-6 wks drying time?

[diamondtiling]

In this weather? Is the room heated?

won't be ready 'til end of feb, would you say more 8-10 wks?

The strongest grout i have ever seen is mappei ultracolour.Just dont make the mistake of not washing it off properly.
