Is Coo-Var Swimming Pool Paint the right choice?

How long will the paint last?

The fading of paints is a natural occurrence, and the longevity of paint is contingent on two key factors: the quality of the initial preparation and painting, and the ongoing maintenance of the painted surface.

A surface that is inadequately prepared may experience failure within days or weeks, whereas a meticulously prepared one can endure for years.

Regular bi-annual inspections of the paintwork enable timely maintenance.

I have a hole/gap/crack – Will the paint fill it?

Paint serves as a thin film intended to cover surfaces, and using it to fill cracks, gaps, and holes is not advisable.

If you encounter gaps or cracks, it is recommended to use a compatible filler or seek advice from our Technical Services for proper guidance.
