    Default Swimming pool

    Have been waiting to tile swimming pool indoors and underground. I noticed cracks ,salt and water coming through the cracks. They rendered the areas and on my return there is still small amounts of water coming through the render. Obviously there is a problem but what it is and where it is coming from is a mystery. I obviously dont want to tile it but was looking for some advice so i can pass onto the contractor.

    Cheers

    I'd be speaking to the contractor NOW, it's not your problem but don't tile it until it's sorted..don't sound good

    I agree with the guys above, leave well alone. What ever the problem is, it isnt your problem and can not be tiled until it is sorted and totally dry. Couldnt say what it is without knowing the construction of it and what is under it.

    As Whitebeam says, get onto the contractor asap and dont take any rubbish from him, if he is like some of the guys I have had to deal with (and walk away from) in the past he will try filling it with silicone.
