I must confess my suggestion was intended light-heartedly (hence the LOL). As snikpoh says, nicking sand from the beach is illegal. ISTR that a firm supplying sand to Gibralter got into big trouble for allegedly 'vandalising protected sand dunes' or similar.So don't take too much at once, do it at night and maybe hide it down a trouser leg!

Hi, did you have a waterproof seal/render finish no the concrete, have you since had it tiled?:goodpost:

I'm in the process of tiling one now and, having stripped back the old paint, you do have to seal the pool. Costs about 65€ for a 5 litre pot of the stabilizer.

There was nothing extra put on the surface after the pool concrete was formed but then it has been tiled.

SIKA is fine but expensive.

I used "RESIFER A" from FERBALCA. It's a resin specifically to provide a bond whilst sealing the concrete.
