Private Villa, Khao Lak

A green-tiled pool in Phang Nga, rebuilt and refinished in Cool Blue.

Location: Phang Nga, Thailand
Completed: 2024
Type: Renovation
Our role: Leak repair and renovation: waterproofing and foam injection, fillets at the floor joint, jacuzzi rebuilt as a shallow ledge, new steps, render and finish
Finish: PebbleCrete Classic Cool Blue · Sandy Beach Natural on the coping
Applied by: Pebble Pools

The work behind the setting.

The pool and its round jacuzzi had been finished in green tile. We took the old finish off, broke the jacuzzi back to its shell and rebuilt it as a shallow ledge with seating, rendered the pool through, and laid PebbleCrete Classic Cool Blue over the lot.

The pool leaked badly through a poor original casting. It was waterproofed heavily, with foam injected into the leaks, and the joint between the floor and the walls, which leaked worst, was rebuilt with wide concrete fillets laid at 45 degrees, about 20 cm across.

New steps and a platform were built into the pool, the shallow end runs out as a curved ledge, and the finish meets a Sandy Beach Natural coping.

Material: PebbleCrete Classic

Sample images are illustrations. They give a general idea of colour, texture and particle size and show the finish wet; the sample triangle represents about 12 cm of surface. PebbleCrete is made from natural stone and glass and is applied by hand, so colour and the mix of particles vary from batch to batch and from pool to pool. Lighting, screens, water depth and surroundings also change how a finish looks. These images are not a substitute for a physical sample. Always confirm your choice with a current physical PebbleCrete sample, viewed wet. By agreement and at extra cost, we can make an on-site mock-up (test panel) before work starts for you to approve. The finished surface should be judged against the approved mock-up and physical sample, not against the images on this site.
